“The Hot Air Balloon festival all started after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption incidents, the local Kapampangan around Clark want to have some activities on how to bring back Clark for Pampanga after this incidents, they started the first Hot Air Balloon festival in the parade grounds inside Clark, this was in January 1994, so that was the start and the rest is history that grow into a major attractions of Clark and Pampanga.” Placino said during its blog conference last March 14, 2019 at Enderun College in Mckinley Hill, Taguig City.

Traffic is the first question thrown to the organizers, commuting will be a problem as well as to those who will bring in their cars and family to this weeklong festivity, as per Placino they already see that coming and his estate, the Clark Global City is very much prepared to counter that issues, they have big and wide open spaces reserves for commuters and cars, he inform us that there will be a Point-to-Point buses in three areas in Metro Manila that will bring in people, one station in NAIA Terminal, Galleria and Trinoma Mall.
