Thousands
of lanterns filled the sky in a spectacular new World record.
In what could look like a sky-full of fireflies from a distance, thousands of lanterns were released and floated into the sky to create a vision of suspended lights.
More than 15,000 sky lanterns are believed to have been by 10,000 volunteers at the University of the Philippines Visayas- Miagao Campus, setting a new world record.
The event aims to promote world peace while breaking a world record. It is the first international event of its kind to be held in the country. It's slogan 'World peace through inner peace' was written on each lantern, in an effort to create awareness around international conflicts.
The breathtaking event topped Romania's record of releasing 12,470 sky lanterns in 2012 during the opening of a shopping centre.
Dr. Emiliano Bernardo III, who organised the event, said that if universal inner peace can be achieved then there would be no major conflicts since most conflicts can be traced from a lack of inner peace of the individual.
He said that a series of Inner Peace Previews were conducted to orient the volunteers the basics of meditation and how to release the sky lanterns properly to ensure safety.
