The Fountain at OKADA MANILA® Is Officially UnveiledAs a packed audience of spectators looked on,
the "The Fountain" at OKADA MANILA® was finally unveiled in all of its glory alongside a dazzling stage show and breathtaking fireworks display
to commemorate the occasion.
On March 31, 2017, the long-awaited The Fountain attraction at OKADA MANILA® in the Philippines was officially unveiled, and was finally opened to the public.
With new restaurants and the shopping area opening at the resort on the same day and the casino floor receiving an expansion as well, this event attracted attention from both within and outside the country.
* The Fountain currently allows spectators to view a fountain show free of charge every day from evening time up through the nighttime hours. The attraction is gathering attention as Manila's latest new tourism spot.

As soon as the doors opened at 4:00 PM, visitors poured into the venue one after another, creating crowds of people inside the resort whose impressive spaciousness makes it feel easy to get lost. Soon enough, the spectator seats surrounding the fountain became full.
A variety of food stations lined the Crystal Corridor, which took on a mysterious aura not unlike a night on the town once the lights went off. On the mini-stage, "World of Wonders" could be seen up close giving an intense performance.
Once Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, who served as MC of the proceedings, appeared on the Main Stage in the VIP seating area, the attendees were captivated by her beauty and charming banter.
From there, "Promise" commenced. The sexy and acrobatic performances in this mini-opera elicited exclamations of glee from the audience. "Promise" was followed by the appearance of the Philippines' very own Gerphil Flores. As her lovely voice echoed across the night sky alongside a performance by the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, the audience listened in silent admiration.
When the global music star Robin Thicke emerged onto the stage path with dancers in tow, the atmosphere of the proceedings transformed entirely. Mr. Thicke belted out his hit tracks one after the other, giving a hugely entertaining performance that thrilled both the eyes and ears of the audience.
After that came what everyone had been waiting for: the unveiling of The Fountain. Unveiled as Adele's hit song "Set Fire to the Rain" played in the background, this attraction was without a doubt a sight to see, and a true entertainment spectacular that justifies the visit to the resort by itself.
As the excited fountain settled down, "Dies Irae" from Verdi's "Requiem" played solemnly, marking the start of the fireworks show. The colorful fireworks that shot up high into the sky one after another were a majestic spectacle that lasted over ten minutes, and brought the event to a close.
