Can three stars at night shine so bright?

Amazing 3 star alignment I saw at 5am NY day.

Not stars. It's a waning crescent Moon, planets Venus, Jupiter and Mercury. In your photo it would be the Moon, Venus and Jupiter. That hill in the background is most likely blocking view of Mercury. In the night sky, the brightest celestial objects in order are the Moon, Venus and Jupiter.

Sadly, I haven't been able to view them for past few days due rain from a tropical depression going through the Philippines.

Edit: Set your camera for manual mode, adjust focal length and exposure settings accordingly. You'll end up with a better picture like this:

You are born with the truth, then taught a lie.
