Philippine International 2nd Pyromusical Competition in SM Mall of Asia March 12, 2011 - Australia and Philippines

My friends from QCPC asked if anybody wanted to go to the 2nd Pyromusical Competition at SM Mall of Asia last March 12, 2011.  There are lots of participating countries but I think most of them wanted to support Philippines (Hep hep hooray! Support our own!)  which is scheduled on that day back to back with Australia.  I couldn't resist the chance of watching fireworks so I jumped in.  First plan was to buy tickets for the VIP area, but sir Jonathan suggested to try a different spot.

Zambales: Mount Pinatubo Trekking via Capas Tarlac

Mount Pinatubo is an active volcano in Luzon strategically located in the borders of Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga. Its volcanic eruption in 1991 made a big impact in the Philippines' history with regards to natural calamity. I remember that earthquake was felt to some Luzon provinces and most of our Aeta people were vastly affected.  Afterwhich this occurence at Mount Pinatubo created a very very beautiful crater lake booming their tourism industry.
