00:00Muling lilipad ang pinakamakukulay at pinaka-aabangang airshow sa bansa na tampok ang ikat-26 sa Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
00:10Ang kabuang detalye alamin sa ulat ni teammate JB Junyo.
00:16Colorful, grand at instagramable, yan ang hatid ng 26 Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta sa darating na February 13 hanggang 15 sa New Clark City, Kapa Starlap.
00:29Mula sa mga regular at special shape hot air balloons, helicopters, skydivers, paragliders, radio-controlled aircraft, kites, hanggang drones, sabay-sabay nalilipad ang iba't ibang anyo ng aviation sports na tampok sa fiesta.
00:45Ayon kay Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta Event Director Captain Joy Roa, mahalaga ang ganitong klase ng event lalo na sa mga kabataan na nagpapakita ng competitiveness at interest sa aviation sports.
00:59We wanted people to be competitive and become interested in aviation sports.
01:07You know, it develops the youth, takes them away from drugs, allows them to have good camaraderie and have discipline, not only with work, but also with their themselves, with doing things.
01:25Dagdag pa ni Roa, ang festival ay malaking parte ng pagpapalawak ng kultura at sports tourism ng bansa.
01:33You know, each foreigner will surely bring their family.
01:39Some of them have gone back already so many times and some of them have invited other pilots to come.
01:44And I make it a point also to bring them to a destination after the event.
01:52And also on the Saturday, I take them for lunch somewhere to know a little bit more about the culture of the Philippines and the traditions that we have.
02:01And, you know, for sports naman, that's why we have the competitions.
02:06All the other countries would like to compete for an international event for their points.
02:11So that will be an incentive for them to come and visit.
02:15Iginigit naman ni Philippine Sports Commission, Commissioner Edward Heiko, na hindi lang sports tourism ang hatid ng hot air balloon fiesta, kundi pati na rin ang economic multiplier effects sa Pilipinas.
02:27So it becomes an industry, an economic industry, a sports tourism industry turning into an economic multiplier effect, an economic machine for the country.
02:45Little things like that can move a city, a province, even a nation forward.
02:52Iba yun.
02:53Ibang ano, 120,000, 130,000 people.
02:58Hundreds or thousands of foreigners converging into one small, into Tarlac, into Clark, and that ripple effect all over the Philippines.
03:12Luzon besides Mindanao, ibang efekto yan.
03:15That's what you call the economic multiplier effect in sports tourism.
03:19Ang event na ito ay simbolo ng paglago ng aviation sports, hindi lang bilang isang festival, kundi bilang isang pagdiriwang ng inovasyon at international camaraderie na lumilipad taon-taon.
03:32Sa pagbabalik ng Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, sisiguraduhin nilang ang 2026 ay magiging bolder, bigger, and more spectacular than ever.
