Davao Gears Up for the 1st Torotot Festival World Record

Because Dabawenyos know how to party, we welcome New Year’s Eve 2014 with a bang and a new World Record during the 1st Torotot Festival along Roxas Avenue from 1PM on December 31, 2013 until 1AM of January 1, 2014!

This 12-hour event aims not only to be a festive gathering of family and friends but a historical event to gather 10,000 Dabawenyos to break the Guinness Book of World Records of the most number of people blowing their torotot (party horns) at the same time.

“This coming New Year’s Eve will be a unique and exhilarating spectacle of lights and sounds, a synergy of thrilling events and a grand tapok-tapok with the finest local talents and promising stars,” said the City Government of Davao.

To fuel more excitement, SMART, the Philippines’ leading wireless services provider, will be giving away prizes for the largest and most creative contingents.

Barangay with the most number of torotot blowers:

• 1st Place – P50,000
• 2nd Place – P30,000
• 3rd Place – P20,000

Most creative torotot:

• 1st Place – P25,000
• 2nd Place – P15,000
• 3rd Place – P10,000

Torotot Festival is first in Davao and in the Philippines. It will also showcase live performances from Smart event winners, local celebrities and promising bands. There will also be thrilling game and activity booths, special discounts, promos and free Wi-Fi connection to boost.

“Be part of the history as we break the Guinness Book of World Records and put Davao City in the history. Let’s drive out the bad spirits of 2013 and welcome the positive vibes of 2014,” said Arnold Dellosa, Smart Communications Sales Manager for South Mindanao.

C’mon Dabawenyos, bring your torotots and be counted! Gather your families, friends and ka-barangays and blow your torotots for a World Record!
