Through community outreach and in-park festivities, the beloved wizard marks his milestone birthday by sharing love, hope, and new experiences with Filipinos. For thirty years, Eldar’s life has been defined by his role as the heart and soul of the Enchanted Kingdom. Where he has stood as a symbol of magic, joy, and innocent wonder for generations of families.
By stepping beyond the physical gates of the park to visit those who cannot easily make the journey themselves, such as the elderly and children with special needs, Eldar brings his legendary home to life in the real world.
Sharing the Magic Beyond the Park
On Wednesday, Enchanted Kingdom (EK) took its landmark thirtieth-anniversary celebration outside the borders of its famous theme park. Eldar the Wizard paid a special visit to the Bahay ni Maria Home for the Abandoned Elderly and Children with Special Needs.
Hosting meet-and-greet activities for the residents. This heartwarming visit officially launched a series of community outreach programs scheduled throughout the month.
This event also marked the beginning of Eldar the Wizard’s birthday celebration under EK’s “Love Saribuhay” initiative. By blending entertainment with meaningful community service, the campaign serves as a prelude to the highly anticipated launch of AGILA The EKsperience: SARIBUHAY 2.5 this coming October.
This connection highlights a deeper purpose in Eldar’s role as the guardian of the park’s magic. The term Saribuhay—a Filipino terminology for biodiversity (saring buhay). This reflects the wizard’s profound connection to the natural world and his duty to protect the beauty of the Philippine environment.
By tying his birthday celebration to this ecological theme, Eldar’s life in the park transitions from a story of simple fantasy to one of active stewardship. Indeed, a real-world commitment to celebrating, respecting, and preserving the vibrant tapestry of Filipino life and nature.
A Calendar of Kindness
To continue sharing this joy, Eldar has lined up a busy schedule of heartwarming outreach activities for the rest of July. Bringing the magic of Enchanted Kingdom directly to the community.
His journey of giving kicks off on July 17 with a special visit to the Ang Bahay Parola Foundation in Santa Rosa, followed by a trip to the Casa Dei Bambini Foundation on July 24 to spread early birthday cheer, games, and laughter.
The celebrations will then transition back into the theme park on July 25 for the grand finale, Eldar’s Birthday Bash. For this spectacular day of in-park festivities, Enchanted Kingdom has invited children from Hope Worldwide Philippines Inc. and the Children’s Joy Foundation Inc. as VIP guests. Treating them to an unforgettable experience filled with thrilling rides, magical entertainment, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Guests of all ages can look forward to a spectacular lineup. Featuring live entertainment, interactive games, special giveaways, and appearances by beloved story verse characters.
Thirty Years of a Wizard’s Legacy
Eldar the Wizard has remained the central figure of Enchanted Kingdom’s rich storytelling. Since his introduction in 1995, Eldar has been more than just a mascot, he continues to embody the core values of the park. To love God, to respect, possess kindness, and integrity. Through this month’s celebrations, Eldar continues to bring those values to life for generations of visitors.
Salamat po sa inyong lahat, sa pagbibigay ng oras para dalawin kami.” said Sister Marie, Missionary Sisters of our Lady of Fatima, ahouse parent of Bahay ni Maria.
This outreach is a natural extension of Eldar’s existence in the park, where his daily presence has always been dedicated to.
Pinaparamdam sa amin ng Panginoon na hindi kami nag iisa sa aming misyon, katuwang namin kayo, Enchanted Kingdom.” Sister Marie added.
Eldar and the whole Enchanted Kingdom does not reside solely in its thrilling rides or grand firework spectacles. Rather in their enduring mission to touch the lives of everyday Filipinos with hope. Leaving them with lasting memories that stretch far beyond a single afternoon.
