We went to Clark Freeport Zone,Pampanga for the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2017 (PIHABF 2017) last February 9-12, 201.
It is an annual event that showcases a grand display of colorful Hot Air Balloons, paragliding, skydiving & aviation shows.
We started to drive from Makati bound to Clark at around 3:00am because we expect already the large volume of cars/crowd bound to the area because of the event eventhough the exhibit will start around 5:15am.
Unfortunately, as expected on the way along NLEX there's a truch caught in an accident so we arrived around 6:30am.
The crowd was just too much and even though they opened several lines for entrance but still the crowds were really rushing to go inside the event and it was very disappointing though.
But then we are still thankful that the event started a little late than expected because we even saw the RC UFO Flying & Skydiving Philippine Flag jump which should have been earlier and We are very thankful about that.

All in all our experience was ok but still there's just something in the venue that maybe can be improved such as the booth/shops are too much far away from each other and there's not enough Shed for the people to at least rest and have a decent sit since the it was seriously scorching hot that time. I noticed that after the Hot Air Balloons were released the population of the crowd were lessen to 40%. I guess next time it would be better if there will be a general area/space where the people can shed away from the heat of the sun even for people who only paid the General Admission ticket which is 300pesos.
