The drone show was supposed to be part of the Davao Music and Arts Festival on Saturday. Organizers are rescheduling it for the evening of March 5.
DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines – At least 80,000 people trooped to Davao City’s Coastal Road in Bago Aplaya as early as 4 pm on Saturday, March 4, to watch the city’s most awaited event, the 3D Drone Lightshow, which the city government said was the first of its kind in Davao City’s history.
Kat Dalisay-Santos, the drone show organizer, told the crowd: “We are asking everyone here at the venue, please turn off your data. Due to the influx of people, as we are at the 80,000 mark attendees, the signal of our drones are being intercepted by the signals of your mobile phones. Signal is at 12%, we need it to be at least 14% to work. Help us give you the best show.”
Davao City’s famed local musicians, like Spill Harbour, Cerisse, and Nairud, were among the artists that performed in the early part of the show to set the vibe for Saturday’s much-awaited drone event.
