The glorious display of bright and aesthetically organized lights in Roxas Boulevard and Coastal Road Junction in Parañaque City, Philippines is called the “2007 World Light Expo Philippines“. It opened last February 13th and will continue to serve the public until April 22nd of this year. It is a 70-day event held for the benefit of the Pangarap ng Lupa Foundation. For only Php 300, you can have the chance to enjoy the festive, colorful lights, and extend financial help to the blind and homeless children of Pangarap ng Lupa Foundation. That’s like money from your pocket!
The cost of the whole light expo is said to amount to 6 Million US dollars. The displays, with a total of 2 Million light bulbs, are mostly made in Korea, Japan and the Philippines and were done by a total of 10,000 people.
Aside from the myriad bright lights, visitors will also enjoy the acrobatic shows, fountain shows and other equally interesting exhibits. The place is usually packed on Saturdays and Sundays so it’s best to visit World Light Expo Philippines on weekdays when there’s fewer people around.
