2007 World Light Expo

Last April 1, we went to see the World Light Expo located on the junction of Roxas Boulevard and Coastal Road. Compared to the all inclusive price of PhP300 last February, entrance for adults are now PhP200 with a separate fee of PhP100 if you want to see the Harbin Ice and Light Festival. Originally, children below 4-feet are priced PhP200 and free of entrance for 3-years old and below. This might have changed as well.

The World Light Expo boast of a production cost of US$ 6M, employing a gross staff of 10,000 persons over a production period of 2 years. Designers from Philippines, Korea, China, and Italy used around 2 million bulbs in it.
