Here’s a photo below with the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, lighting up and celebrating the Philippine independence last year.
This is truly a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Pinoy pride and we are glad that we are in a country that also celebrates expats of different nationalities.
We want to thank the team behind the preparations to make this memorable event happen. It’s not every day that you get to see your own country flag displayed on the world’s tallest building. So this is truly an honor as it gives us goosebumps being able to witness the Philippines on this platform.
