I'm from Sydney and was also in Manila this NYE. I have a similar video on my profile as I was in the same building, it's taken from Gramercy in Makati. I was on level 53 but this video would've been taken from the bar on the roof (71 Gramercy). I just have to say that in my life I have never experienced anything like I did that night... All day leading up to midnight standing on the balcony there were explosions that would echo and bounce from one side of the city and carry to the other end. Once the clock got closer to midnight, I felt like I was in the middle of a war zone with bombs dropping 100s of times every second.. This video can't convey how truly awesome the show was. Sydeny loves to brag about its perfectly arranged 15 minute show which is of course stunning but can't compare to something like this.. A true celebration.
it is true sydney and london keep bragging that they have awesome fireworks display but for my own opinion since every year we celebrate this sydney and london combined was dwarf compare to this imagine the entire country is like this lol
We don't really call this a display, this is simply a celebration. The whole city is in celebration. And it happens in most parts of the country too. I grew up and lived in Manila until 10 years ago and the New Year's celebration there is one of the things I really miss the most. It really is a free-for-all, but that's because during New Year's, Filipinos don't just want to be spectators, we also want to be participants. I used to light up my own fireworks outside our house right there on the street, with neighbors doing the same thing. Hanging out and having fun with family and friends watching the different fireworks on display in the sky and on the streets. Everyone was giving each other a show. To look up and watch someone's firework light up the night sky in awe, we'd then light up our own knowing someone out there was watching it too, that was the special thing about it all :) You'll have one of the most exciting New Year's Eve dinners there as you hear the explosions even from inside a house. We typically leave the table and just eat outside to watch it all go down haha.
How right you are. The feeling of being in that moment is just surreal. When I was younger, I dread the 31st because of the loud explosions but I have to live with it as I know even as a kid that it is a Filipino tradition. Now, that I'm older---and wiser--I've come to love and revel (in) every second of it. This is what makes us unique and I embrace it. I love our NYE celebration here in the PH! :)
The rest of the world may have the grandest fireworks display...but here in PH we only have the wildest, craziest, and the most memorable NY celeb.. Happy New Year!!!!
I find foreign people who comment about global warming exaggerated. You have to look first at how your country actually contribute to global carbon emission for the entire year. Philippines is not even close to 0.5%.
Misha Jacobs Those foreigners are idiots because when they look at someone’s country they assume we have the same culture traditions, economy, beliefs, rules, regulations etc that we all have the same problems and issues. Then they start to impose upon us. Just Don’t mind them
Just spent my first new years in Manila and I've never seen anything like it. I was woken up at 9am on the 31st by loud explosions and it finally stopped new years day around 7pm. Pure awesomeness! between 11pm and 1am it was insane
@@Dan-xx8fx Well nope. Even better actually. More lights, loud noises, fountains, and fireworks. Only less on firecrackers. But there still is actually. Hahaha!
@JXCOB i think you got it a bit wrong so you see dubai does it... what london is iconic is its big ben and the perfection and synchronization of the fireworks...
I started a tradition that every new years I go on vacation to see a cities new years celebration. This year is hong kong, last year was NYC and next year might be this.
I have lived here in Ortigas Center, Pasig City for the past 12 years, and I will say, this is by far the very best fireworks display I have seen since living here. One thing, Filipinos love to celebrate, a festival, good food and family is what you will experience during this time of year when visiting Manila.
Everyone seems to compare Philippine's New Year celebrations to a war zone and this video is only seen from atop the building. It is much louder at the ground level and it's not advisable to walk or drive around the streets as they become mine fields of firecrackers of different shapes and sizes. It is a Filipino tradition that producing any kind of loud noise (whether fire crackers, honking the cars, hitting the pans, and blowing the horn pipe on New Years Eve would drive away the bad vibes of the old year to make way for good fortune and luck in the coming year.
Born and raised in the metro but I've never seen the view from the tallest building until now. Most Filipino adults (and sometimes kids too) know how to light up firecrackers and so I'm already used to the exploding sounds, shaking walls and the wearing of face masks every NYE .. but this moment captured is just so magnificent! Kudos to whoever took the video. I agree though that the best fireworks are in parts of Chinatown, Binondo.
When I was in Manila during 2016 NYE, It was like warzone during new year's midnight. People dancing on streets with firecrackers exploding everywhere and yeah it was fun!
This is bar none the craziest fireworks display I've ever seen, freaking nuts it looks like the city is under attack Imagine the fireworks vendors pay day in that city
that's not the best or the worst depending on your point of view yet... that's the wallstreet of the Philippines...business/commercial area... the more affluent but less dense area... the video shows less than 1/25 of Metro Manila (dense smoke and distance hides the rest)... and not the most pyrotechnic mad area either... you have to be in Chinatown (Binondo, Manila) for that...
December 26 2020 may nanunuod pa ba nito? Ka miss yung gantong taon no yung lahat kayo nasa labas ng bahay habang nanunuod at walang kinakabahala na saket😔💕
A truly fun New Year. Real celebration and thats not just in the capital. Its all over the country's major cities and towns. The spirit of the coming of Christ starts being celebrated as early as October. Thanks for posting.
Been here in the US for 5 years now, this is one of the things that i truly miss in my motherland, can't even describe it to my coworkers who aren't filipinos, they thought i was exaggerating when i said the whole city turns into a war zone, you really just have to be there to know how magnifiscent it is. Even this video cannot show that, grounds shaking after every plapla, super lolo, goodbye philippines, etc. Ears ringing, thick gunpowder smoke. *Sigh* i wish i can visit on a new year...
YEAHH THE AERIAL VIEW IS BORING YOU ARE JUST ALONE THERE .... THE REALL HAPPINESS IS ON THE LANDS AND EVERY STREETS !!! THERE IS SO MANY ILLEGAL FIRECRACKERS THAT CAN SHAKE THE LANDS PLUS JUDAS BELT WITH 10,000 THOUSAND ROUNDS ... UNFORTUNATELY THEY WANT TO BANNED ALL OF THIS AND MAKE JUST ONE FIREWORKSS DISPLAYY FOR EVERYONE LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES WHICH IS SO BORINGG ....
i came here just to read some comments and its overwhelming specially to the foreign people it seems they appreciate what we've done . and thats how filipinos celebrate new year ! Have a happy new year to all of you guys ! :))
we have a house located on a mountain town of antipolo about half an hour away from manila and we also have a third floor roof deck overlooking the skyline of the city and the nearby suburbs, every new year's eve since we have moved here since 2009 it has come into our tradition to look out for the fireworks display held everywhere at about 360 degree angle much like this one! and not to mention the fireworks are already held even at around two hours before midnight and gets even louder and more intense at twelve ! i was dreaming of spending my next new years eve in another cities like in sydney or in london or in hong kong...buuut nothing can compare some good o'l pinoy revelry :)
ang galing, ang ganda!!!super saya talaga panoorin,,each Filipino family enjoying from left to right spectacular fireworks!Ganya kasaya ang new year sa PilipinasGod Bless The Philippines!
YEAH!!!!! I was able to catch a glimpse of whole metro manila on new years eve and it was so majestic I've seen whole metro manila light up just like a Christmas tree. I was at the rooftop of our apartment that night and it was fucking awesome. I forgot to join my family celebrating the new years eve because of this scenery..
I love to spent my New year and Christmas in Philippines! Because there is lots of fireworks and lots of fun in philippines during this time of the year! Unlike in overseas is so boring and not lots of fireworks like back home! I will definitely spent my New year eve and Christmas in Philippines this year! The food are also very tasty and very good value!
this is just on the capital of the philippines..i hope NASA caught a video of the whole part of the country blinking with fireworks :D..it will be more likely a warzone lol
In the philippines its legal to buy fireworks as a long as you follow the limit on how much fireworks you could buy.....oh wait i forgot there is no limit :P
Forget about well-arranged and explosive colors! Folks in the Philippines want to join in, that's the beauty of celebrating the new year! No arranged explosions can compare to this "war" of explosions!
Personally, I prefer to start my new year off with a passage from The God Delusion, but I can see how other people would take joy in festive lightings. Happy New Year, everybody!
2025 now but i can say this video back then is a lot more insane. today was toned down a bit but the quality of vlogs nowadays are so effin clear and high definition.
I love it, I miss this thing. Im In Dekalb, Illinois - boring as hell. like cemetery in new year. Can you imagine? I love the Philippine New Year bonker style :) Keep it up!
Nostalgia strikes... Felt so happy seeing this grand barrage of lights... missing waking up with dirt on your nose hehehe... Happy New Year everyone- no haters please...
same here... been away from home and living abroad (all over) for more than 20 years, and this is what I miss. I remember, my first time celebrating the Holiday Seasons away from home, I cried seeing how empty and boring it was. Christmas and Year's Eve celebration in the Philippines is the best, there's nothing like home celebrations!
ganyan kmeng mga Pinoy magcelebrate.. wag nyo kme pakelaman.. try nyo mag new year sa philippines magkakaalaman sa true happiness hindi parang amaze lang sa bonggang fireworks display sa isang central park o venue.. Magulo man sa inyo Sobrang Saya naman samen..
Namo gaming Same in the Philippines. Major difference between the two is that it’s only like that on certain places in the Netherlands. In the Philippines, it’s the entire country. In the video, you only saw Metro Manila where the video cycled thru some of the cities. If you look at every city, every province, every town, every corner and every street in the Philippines, it would be the same like the video that you saw. I doubt there is anything like that in any country in Europe or the whole world. And the fireworks is not as massive and grand down on the streets and in the air compared to the Philippines. This kind of celebration has been going on since I was born in the 1960’s. I’m pretty sure this tradition goes all the way back.
I think netherlands celebrating NYE is just one city while philippines is entire country! In this video its only manila, imagine how abouy the other city in the philippines . 😁😁
I watched this when I was young. This gives me so many good memories. I loved the Skytrain, and when I saw this when I was still 6, I thought this was an actual toy and wanted to get it😂
for the fact that its even louder and happier in the streets.. party over here and there loud music, drinking parties, food buffets,videoke and yes of course fireworks and firecrackers before they got banned. filipinos celebrate new year like its the last no one can compete specially back in the 90s.. and oh i forget to tell you guys that after the fireworks we party and drink till dawn here in philippines.
We used to celebrate new year like this here in ph. If you zoom at the bottom youll see alot of smoke, if youre downstair you can barely see the street cause theres a lot of fireworks at the bottom too.. Im still amazed how it looks at the top and seems like a warzone ahaha. Thanks for the video. It reminds me how beautiful we used to celebrate it now not much fireworks is made as some place banned fireworks due to accidents
I miss celebrating NYE in Metro Manila. I miss the "warzone" type of noise, lights, and explosion. Those people who are giving negative comments are the ones who have not yet experienced the NYE we have there :)
Wow that is what I called individual Liberty of celebration of fireworks. Not just concentrated and sponsored by big corporation or government. Well again one has to take responsibility. I you got hurt too bad. Imagine having that kind of Liberty in Silicon Valley CA.
That's just how they celebrate new years in the Philippines. Citizens are allowed to buy fireworks, firecrackers and etc by themselves.They have the FREEDOM. I know that by spending my childhood in there, compare to other countries who doesn't have the freedom like that. People who doesn't like this just doesn't have the experience growing up and lonely during new years eve. If you have that freedom, you'll understand. LOL
Newsweek, titled its New Year story as: "Manila’s Fireworks Won New Year’s Eve." "Did your city hold a fireworks display on New Year’s Eve? Probably. Was it as good as Manila’s? Probably not," it further said.
wow the best spot para maka pag video... ganda! at ang galing ni lord after ng fire works nag BIGAY SYA NG ULAN.. CLEANSING! he washes out the smug'... pero kakaunti nlng ang mga nag papa putok ngayon.... TRADITION NEVER STOP..... happy new year.. good vibes ' smile everyone!
The fireworks were awesome also on Angeles city, just north of Manila. Even by just observing from rooftop level. You see 360 panoramic degrees of bursts and explosions happening dozens of times per second near midnight and you visualize every person behind it. Whatever happens, our faith and hope can handle it!
awesome!,My whole life, I've been celebrating New years Eve in the Philippines and it was damn fun! but this year I wasn't, my grandma brought us here in Canada. It's the first time in my life to eat turkey and drink wine while feeling lonely and bored on a New years eve..
This is freaking awesome at its best.. Its like a war zone, an alien invasion where people fight for their lives in every street. This will put the 4th of July in America in shame.
10 years ago? Wow you have a great time saving and uploading this video because is the inflation and prices of fireworks are still cheap, this year's new year would be same as this
+Luke's HomeTube (LukesHomeTube) Fireworks has really meaning to us. We light fireworks every New Year's eve because to stay away the evil spirit and bad lucks in our house by making a lot noise.
I'm a filipino , it is our tradition to make noise nor use fireworks during new year because it is used to remove bad spirits in the year, to remove badluck and many more.
If you climb at the most top (rooftop) part my home during New Year's eve or some tall buildings with open view and look around. It feels like you're in a war zone with loud explosions and beautiful fireworks everywhere just like in war movies. It's really more fun in the Philippines!
This is why that all filipino is celebrating a new year!! Best celebrating new year! I've ever seen! Whoooo only!! In the philippines men! PHILIPPINES! ALL PILIPINO HAS ENJOYED TO CELEBRATING A NEW YEAR!
This is crazy... insane even! Filipinos do know how to celebrate. Definitely more fun in the Philippines. Haters, this only happens once a year so chill.

Nostalgia strikes... Felt so happy seeing this grand barrage of lights... missing waking up with dirt on your nose hehehe... Happy New Year everyone- no haters please...
same here... been away from home and living abroad (all over) for more than 20 years, and this is what I miss. I remember, my first time celebrating the Holiday Seasons away from home, I cried seeing how empty and boring it was. Christmas and Year's Eve celebration in the Philippines is the best, there's nothing like home celebrations!
*Dubai makes a good firework show*
*Phillipines:hold my beer*
For me hold my TANDUAY RHUM
Every dog in that city was shitting itself
ganyan kmeng mga Pinoy magcelebrate.. wag nyo kme pakelaman.. try nyo mag new year sa philippines magkakaalaman sa true happiness hindi parang amaze lang sa bonggang fireworks display sa isang central park o venue.. Magulo man sa inyo Sobrang Saya naman samen..
it's not wasteful if people have fun over it. Happy New Year from Philippines ^^ ~
I miss these days... Damn.. when new year is a real celebration
the Netherlands and Philippines has same tradition in New Year....
Namo gaming Same in the Philippines. Major difference between the two is that it’s only like that on certain places in the Netherlands. In the Philippines, it’s the entire country. In the video, you only saw Metro Manila where the video cycled thru some of the cities. If you look at every city, every province, every town, every corner and every street in the Philippines, it would be the same like the video that you saw. I doubt there is anything like that in any country in Europe or the whole world. And the fireworks is not as massive and grand down on the streets and in the air compared to the Philippines. This kind of celebration has been going on since I was born in the 1960’s. I’m pretty sure this tradition goes all the way back.
@ROBLOX Namo yeah same in philippines but not only teens, even boys like 8/9 yrs old light firecrackers
I think netherlands celebrating NYE is just one city while philippines is entire country! In this video its only manila, imagine how abouy the other city in the philippines . 😁😁
And some m'fuckers do fire a real gun in the Philippines..lol
It's like that in the Netherlands too, in every street, every town, everyone lighting fireworks at the same time.
2019 anyone? Mas masaya pa rin ito kaysa sa NYE ngayon..
I watched this when I was young. This gives me so many good memories. I loved the Skytrain, and when I saw this when I was still 6, I thought this was an actual toy and wanted to get it😂
Who's watching this in 2025?
this is one of the thing i miss about Philippines...i miss my youth very much..i miss to light up our own stockfile of firecrackers.
Enough talking! Just shut up and book ur ticket for the next NYE in Philippines and experience the most craziest fireworks ever!!
Breathtaking ! Just beautiful !
for the fact that its even louder and happier in the streets.. party over here and there loud music, drinking parties, food buffets,videoke and yes of course fireworks and firecrackers before they got banned. filipinos celebrate new year like its the last no one can compete specially back in the 90s.. and oh i forget to tell you guys that after the fireworks we party and drink till dawn here in philippines.
We used to celebrate new year like this here in ph. If you zoom at the bottom youll see alot of smoke, if youre downstair you can barely see the street cause theres a lot of fireworks at the bottom too.. Im still amazed how it looks at the top and seems like a warzone ahaha. Thanks for the video. It reminds me how beautiful we used to celebrate it now not much fireworks is made as some place banned fireworks due to accidents
I miss celebrating NYE in Metro Manila. I miss the "warzone" type of noise, lights, and explosion. Those people who are giving negative comments are the ones who have not yet experienced the NYE we have there :)
Wow that is what I called individual Liberty of celebration of fireworks. Not just concentrated and sponsored by big corporation or government. Well again one has to take responsibility. I you got hurt too bad. Imagine having that kind of Liberty in Silicon Valley CA.
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! WERE BEING ATTACK! hell it looks like that Metro Manila is in a WAR!
*at
Wael Khaleb no we win the war we got our FREEDOM Back! 😂😁😁
This is best comment bro you make me cry smiling greetings from the Philippines
wow loud noises and lights. amazing.
this is freak'n awesome.............
Thanks for sharing Amadeus! It was spectacular! Mabuhay Phils! Have a Prosperous New Year Amadeus!
That's just how they celebrate new years in the Philippines. Citizens are allowed to buy fireworks, firecrackers and etc by themselves.They have the FREEDOM. I know that by spending my childhood in there, compare to other countries who doesn't have the freedom like that. People who doesn't like this just doesn't have the experience growing up and lonely during new years eve. If you have that freedom, you'll understand. LOL
Newsweek, titled its New Year story as: "Manila’s Fireworks Won New Year’s Eve." "Did your city hold a fireworks display on New Year’s Eve? Probably. Was it as good as Manila’s? Probably not," it further said.
In what news?
in the Newsweek Magazine..
+Mark Velarde Thanks!
welcome
wow the best spot para maka pag video... ganda! at ang galing ni lord after ng fire works nag BIGAY SYA NG ULAN.. CLEANSING! he washes out the smug'... pero kakaunti nlng ang mga nag papa putok ngayon.... TRADITION NEVER STOP..... happy new year.. good vibes ' smile everyone!
Meron dapat tayong world record :)
The fireworks were awesome also on Angeles city, just north of Manila. Even by just observing from rooftop level. You see 360 panoramic degrees of bursts and explosions happening dozens of times per second near midnight and you visualize every person behind it. Whatever happens, our faith and hope can handle it!
This is just a small part of Metro Manila. Other places were crazier :))
awesome!,My whole life, I've been celebrating New years Eve in the Philippines and it was damn fun! but this year I wasn't, my grandma brought us here in Canada.
It's the first time in my life to eat turkey and drink wine while feeling lonely and bored on a New years eve..
This is freaking awesome at its best.. Its like a war zone, an alien invasion where people fight for their lives in every street. This will put the 4th of July in America in shame.
Thank you very much for capturing this. ❤
I will really cry if this happens again in new year. It's so touching and emotional knowing that people are happy.
That is awesome. Best fireworks show ever. Blows NYC, Hong Kong, Dubai, SF etc.
This is one of great fireworks videos ever!
10 years ago? Wow you have a great time saving and uploading this video because is the inflation and prices of fireworks are still cheap, this year's new year would be same as this
My guess is that Manila loves their fireworks. What do you think?
+Luke's HomeTube (LukesHomeTube) Fireworks has really meaning to us. We light fireworks every New Year's eve because to stay away the evil spirit and bad lucks in our house by making a lot noise.
most of the fireworks are made in philippines.. 😂
+Luke's HomeTube (LukesHomeTube) this is like a ritual :D this is how we celebrate nye , random fireworks display like crazy :D lol
I'm a filipino , it is our tradition to make noise nor use fireworks during new year because it is used to remove bad spirits in the year, to remove badluck and many more.
Luke's HomeTube | well FIREWORK IS FUN! HAPPY 2018!
Masaya talaga mag celebrate ng new year s pinas walang katulad :)
👍👍👍💖
It was raining the entire 2016 NYE here in Manila.. But oh boy it didnt stop us.. aerial fireworks and sounds of explosions is still crazy as this!
Incredibly stunning beautiful skyline!!!!
Happy new year to us this is how we celebrate new year party on the streets lots of food beer and fire works at midnight with family and friends
lovely fireworks display. happy New year.
If you climb at the most top (rooftop) part my home during New Year's eve or some tall buildings with open view and look around. It feels like you're in a war zone with loud explosions and beautiful fireworks everywhere just like in war movies. It's really more fun in the Philippines!
This is the Best ever 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I wonder how this would look from space!
This is why that all filipino is celebrating a new year!! Best celebrating new year! I've ever seen! Whoooo only!! In the philippines men! PHILIPPINES! ALL PILIPINO HAS ENJOYED TO CELEBRATING A NEW YEAR!
This is crazy... insane even!
Filipinos do know how to celebrate. Definitely more fun in the Philippines.
Haters, this only happens once a year so chill.
