A Weekend of Everything that Flies


The 16th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta! :)


It’s my first time to attend the annual Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta not as a guest, but as an exhibitor.

Yearly, the institution that I work for, joins the festival for an exhibit, this year, FEATI University merged their booth to ours, making the cost and effort for the exhibit lighter.

The whole 4-day exhibit is not tiring at all. In fact, it is fun, because in my spare time, I have the chance to visit other booths and watch different kinds of kites, hot air balloons, and aircrafts.

But what stressed me out is that most of my workmates didn’t follow their shift schedules, which made me the only one to monitor our booth, while FEATI University’s staff is always complete and always on time.

Also, I learned a lot of marketing strategies, which I saw on the booths of other exhibitors, which can also contribute in the upcoming exhibits that my institution plans to put up in the future.
