SUBIC
Asia's
promising new tourist destination, Subic Bay's strategically located,
deep natural harbor once contained America's largest military installation
overseas and a favorite rest and recreational center for the service men.
When the US Navy pulled out in 1992 after the destructive Mt. Pinatubo
volcano eruption, it has since been transformed into a free port and Special
Economic Zone. Apart from now being a center for commerce and industry,
Subic which takes about 30 minutes by plane and 2 ½ hours by land
also offers a unique combination of attractions, including first-class
hotels, duty free shopping, golf, horseback riding, scuba diving, water
sports and even jungle treks. In Subic, you can enjoy one of the Philippines'
last virgin forests.
