It was raining so hard yesterday late afternoon
here in Metro Manila, which is typical since it was the last day of the month
of August in the year 2014, the wettest month every year in the Philippines. And you would think everybody would stay indoors
at night after that strong storm, but not in Luneta.
Luneta is the Philippines’ national
park and it is usually visited by tourists and locals on weekends. But the
place gets more crowded at night, which is unusual for a national park. Even after a strong rain, Luneta was packed
with visitors last night when I visited it.
The reason for this is the colourful musical water fountain.
The musical fountain is entertaining indeed,
as it creates a sort of visual effects to the viewers who enjoy watching
it. The fountain employs the effects of
timed sound waves and timed light against the water that jets out from the basin
which is synchronized with the pop songs that are played. The pop tunes being played include the ones
from the local scenes like Bamboo, the Hotdogs and Freddie Aguilar, and some international
ones like Rihanna, Abba and Michael Buble.
Everyone loved watching this fountain
as the bulk of the Luneta crowd occupy the outside boundaries of the fountain
basin. And you would know that it is the
highlight of the park when people start leaving the park after that light and
sound extravaganza ends around late in the evening.
There is nothing like visiting Luneta. Everyone gets a nice treat when one comes and
sees this place. Everyone gets a glimpse of history at daylight, and then enjoys
the musical visual entertainment at night.
