Manila has live streamed drone show for Salubong 2021

The Manila City Government has prepared a grand drone show and a pyrotechnics display to greet the New Year.

According to Ivan Mayrina’s report on “24 Oras,” the show will only be live-streamed at the official Facebook page of the local government. Its location will also remain a secret as it may cause mass gathering.

“Biggest drone show in the Philippines na walang paputok pero maiinit na sasalubungin ng pamahalang lungsod na handog sa mamayan na taga-lungsod para sa kanila,” Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno said.

“May makita naman sila na tuloy ang bagong taon. Pero kakaiba ang pagsalubong,”  he added.

Moreno has prohibited the use and selling of any kind of firecracker in the whole city.

Though the mayor acknowledged that this was not the usual celebration, he pleaded with the residents to follow.

“‘Yung lalabag, eh, aarestuhin. Eh ang hirap naman ho noon. Wala pong piskalya ngayon nasa hoyo ka, bagong taon na sa oblo ka. I mean, ayaw ko rin ‘yun eh. We really have to adopt to the new normal. And this is a new year with a new approach to celebrate,” he said. -Joahna Lei Casilao/NB, GMA News
