It’s smooching time once again here in the Philippines, with the Lovapalooza 2008. I am a bit miffed, though, that this event isn’t as big as last year.

Anyway, the Lovapalooza is a tradition in the Philippines that was started in 2004. It is a bid to claim the Guinness World Record for Most Number of Simultaneously Kissing Couples for 10 seconds. This is also a promotional event for new products of CloseUp Toothpaste (Unilever Phils).In 2004, the Philippines entered the
Guinness Book of World Records for the most number of kissing couples,
5,327 pairs, beating the previous mark of
4,445 in Chile. In 2005, Hungary claimed the title with
5700 couples. However, in 2007, the Philippines once again set the bar higher with
6,124 kissing couples! That’s
12,248 people who spent 10 seconds in heaven for the glory of the Philippines.

Here is the promotional video that circulated in various media a month or so before the event last year. Initially, it looks like a street fight of sorts with each camp raring to close in on the other. But then instead of fighting, they all start kissing! Watch:[youtube]NcHSfTAuayg[/youtube]
If that made the hair on your arms stand up, wait ’til you see the
actual footage of the exact moment when Hungary’s record was beaten by the
6,124 kissing couples in the Philippines during February 2007.What the world really needs now is love, sweet love….———————————————————————-
