success, both in artistic impact and public demand, on its
piloting version last year prompted the organizers to redo
its performance. This is directed and choreographed by highly
acclaimed artist, Lutgardo Labad.

10-minute pyrotechnic display follows courtesy of Chowking.
The
"Battle of the Bands" grand finals, with a renowned

Chairman, Loreto M. Palapos, executive director. Major Sponsors
