• Before it even became the biggest sports event in the country, having a festival was decided by the then Tourism Secretary Mina Gabor and three of her friends including a hot air balloon pilot in 1994. Three years after the massive devastation brought by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, the hot air balloon festival aims to jumpstart Pampanga’s economy. Another objective is to position the province as a center of aviation in the Philippines.

• In 1994, there were 21 balloon pilots from 10 different countries. The Philippines has an entry. The 1994 balloon festival was so successful there was an increase in the total number of participants in 1995 from 21 to 27 which include the basketless one-man balloon and 2 entries from the Philippines. In 1995, the use of ultra-light planes was introduced.
