CLARK FREEPORT — Officials from the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) and a representative from a tourism-oriented foundation recently signed an agreement for the staging of the Hot Air Balloon Festival on February in this Freeport.

Philip Panlilio, executive vice president at the CDC, and Captain Joy Roa, president of the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta
Foundation Inc. (PIHABF), signed an agreement at the Cafe Mesa early this week to stage the 16th Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark.

The upcoming festival, which is expected to draw more than 1000,000 tourists, will be held on February 10 to 13 at the Philippine Air Force’s (PAF) ADAC Hangar.

Panlilio said more than 25 countries are expected to participate in the annual event.

There were a total of 22 balloons from countries such as Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany. Some of the balloons bore human faces while some were animal-shaped.
