We Flew High with the Hot Air Balloons at the #BalloonfestPH 2016

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It's the Weekend of Everything that Flies, and I have to agree because we all seem to be flying as well after witnessing up close and personal all the hot air balloons being inflated and flown up into the air at Clark, Pampanga!

We came there early since hot air balloon flights are preferred during the early hours of the morning since the heat of the sun will not be very accommodating for hot air balloons. It was an awesome sight anyway to see how the hot air balloons are setup with those flames and magically lifting the very colorful and amazingly designed hot air balloons up, up and away!

Below are some photos and videos from the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta Day 1. More to be uploaded by members of my group plus lots of videos and special features for our cable TV program soon.

We will also talk about this amazing event this Saturday morning on our Radyo INQUIRER Vigattin Radio show from 10 to 11 am. 

Thank you to our professional videographer and director Peter Allan Mariano, his lovely PA Inday Ni Direk, the bloggers Allan Bough Gokongwei and Jayson R. Biadog and of course Wazzup Pilipinas - the Pambansang Blog ng Pilipinas!!!

Safety Measures in Owning an iRover

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"With great power comes with great responsibility" – Ben Parker

CD-R King Your one stop shop gives you an insightful iRover safety usage.

The stylish and frolicsome appeal of iRover maybe mistaken as a toy. It is apparent to many that your futuristic iRover/hoverboard is fun to play with, but it is far from being a toy.

As per DTI’s consumer’s safety requirement, it should be clear to hoverboard enthusiasts that the gadget is intended for age 14 and above. We need to realize that we should exercise proper care when using anything that has 2-wheels. Protective gear such as helmet and wrist guards, elbow and knee pads should be worn whenever onboard a hoverboard.

Safety precaution for first-time users includes that the user should be in front of a sturdy handle to achieve balance in riding the iRover. Test your balance by slowly leaning back to move backwards. Gently lean forward to thrust in a slow mode forward. For novice users, always start working on a slow and steady pace until conquering the iRover.

In maneuvering towards left, slightly put weight on the right portion of iRover, while in turning right the left portion should bear more weight.
