I was stationed in Subic Bay from 1989-1992 in Security (FSD). Some of the locals called it OPM. If you knew me and would like to contact me please feel free to. I went to bars on Gordon Avenue a lot. Bars like Viva Young, Terry's, Cindy's, The Body Shop, Tides and all the rest on Gordon Ave. I also went to a few bars on Magsaysay like D'rock, D'bird, State Rock and Slims Tavern just off the street. The Barrio I didn't go out to much but if I did it was J&B, Abracadabra and maybe a couple others. I made a few runs out to subic city but not many. If you worked in one of these bars and remember me please feel free to contact me.

US Veterans and World war 2 Veterans suffered from mental, and physical hardship as well as financial benefits. Veterans hospital in the philippines that is supposed to be for World war 2 veterans use extensively by the philippine Congress, Senate, but those who suffered the most are Not being taking care off. What kind of leadership is being practice by the philippine congress ? Former President Ramos should look into the matter since he is war veterans himself. Filipinos that served the world war 2 must be taking care off. Our greatest achievement in life is not how much we make but how we take care of those who made ultimate sacrfice, our Veterans that survived must be taken care off. No country will endure for a longer period of time without giving respect to our fallen heros and veterans of war.Let's not forget that freedom is not cheap. Soldiers have to die for it and give life to others. MABUHAY, MY FELLOW VETERANS

I am filipina concerned citizen about the rape case. I am raised by my parents and right now i'm working in a company. About the rape case, I dont understand why shes in the middle of the night with those guys by herself. I 'm not depending the dependant but If you analyzed. Ito ba ang tawag n dalagang pilipina, nasa club with guys. Asan ang kanyang dignidad na sinasabi nasa club almost madaling araw na. Yes its true, First of all shes drunk, alam naman natin na pag nakainum ka humuhina ang pagkalakas mo. 2nd of all Shes stupid. Siguro lasengga sya. o yan na talaga ang trabaho nya. Just analyze it, Ang babaing nasa club in the middle of the night by herself ano ang tawag mo dyan. Talagang naghahanap pero di nya nakaya dahil nga sabi nya marami sila. For all other filipinas na kagaya ko Please dont ever ever go to the night clubs talagang sasabihin sa yo bayaran ka kase nasa club ka e Please lang mga kagaya kong dalaga lalo na ang mga nagtratrabaho sa night clubs dahil sa inyo parepareho ang mga tingin ng mga foriegner sa atin e . At sa rape case naman. BAKIT ka nasa club in the middle of the night at nagdidirty dancing ka pa sa mga kano ofcourse ang tingin sa you e bayaran ikaw rin naman ang may kasalanan. Those ladies working in a club why not to find disenting trabaho atlease walang masasabe ang mga iba how can a parents approved their ladies going out in the middle of the night and sa clubs pa. Are those parents desperate? How can a filipina stayed in a bar for almost in the morning na ? How can we as a filipina protect our dignity to any alliens if others are prostitute.How can you tell that a filipina rape case is an innocent if shes in the middle of the night dancing dirty dance to those navy's. We all knows that the marines ay nasa laot for mostly 6-1 year. Ngayon lang sila naka hantong sa lupa we expect that they are very hunger for everything. At sa mga pinay naman if you realy dont want to communicate with them sana dont intertain them

I have not seen my daughter since 1975,I found her with some help from people on the internet,in March the day before her 30th birthday.I am not able financially to go see her,but guess what. A German T.V producer heard of our story and decided to do a documentary on us,they are paying for everything , I left Sept.17th for The Philippines and returned to The U. S. on Oct 1st . Thank God after all these years I got to see my daughter and grandsons . Now I help Amerasians find their fathers in America now. Let me show you the letter I send to people asking for help.My contact info ,should you want it is. Jimmy R.

So with Marissa in The Philippines, our “Search Angel’ and me in the states, we started our little adventure,helping Amerasians .That is my introduction,and I hope we will be able to help you.

I was watching the devastation of New Orleans in television and I was really horrified. I remember one time I went to see the dike in Namatacan, is this not the same situation that our town San Narciso is put into? I noticed that the river bed is silted and way up higher than the town below. What if a rain of this magnitude would poor on this area (siyam-siyam) it might break the dike and flood our whole town, as what was happened in a few years past. I heard some farmlands there that have been seeping water from the ground. I am hoping I am wrong, but somebody please take notice and inform the authorities about this. Someone of knowledge about waterways(like a civil engineer) should be asked to investigate this. I also remember way up is a lake that has put underwater the barrio Aglao in San Marcelino and some part of Sta. Fe. You can see that on your way up to the mines. Will somebody in this forum dare to check on this, or say something about this? Thanks, Gene

Olongapo City belongs to the people of Olongapo. Not to the Gordons, or to their minions. But, the people of the city CHOOSE the GORDONS. Mahirap bang intindihin yon? Politically and socially, SBMA belongs to Olongapo. The Magsaysays should stay away from Olongapo. They already have the big chunk of Zambales Province to administer and govern. Mas mahirap yatang intindihin ito? Hurray to the GORDONS and MAGSAYSAYS!

Hello to all!!! I am not a servicemen dependent, but my family grew up in Olongapo City. My mom, Elenita Delfino, used to work as a nanny and helper in the Binictican Housing Facilities to some high ranking officers, while my dad, Manny Delfino, used to work as a proud "and I mean very hardworking" employee of the Public Works Center - Housing Facilities . I am working in Hong Kong now as a singer of a band in the streets of Wan Chai, Lan Kwai Fong and Kowloon. Whenever I walk the streets of Wan Chai, I can remember my younger days when I was walking Magsaysay Drive. Girl Bars, Clubs, Restaurants were abundant before the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. Everyone in Olongapo City is contented and happy working along side the said base. The Mardigras is one of the best happenings in town. I have seen so many things with my young eyes whenever I stroll around Magsaysay Drive in the night time because we get very clean and potable water near the main gate. Then girls from those bars, as I can remember, The Road Runner, situated at the corner of the street going to Columbian College . I thank Subic Naval Base on whatever I have right now. My father served PWC - Housing for 23 long years. I can speak very good English because of the exposure to American Officers like Bill (I dont know his surname) and our best buddy, when I was like 10 years old, who lived in our place. Lt. Cmdr. Walter Millowic. He was a very fine Bachelor at that time. He gave us American treatment, plays basketball with us, gives us Halloween trick or treats, Christmas parties and everything, and because of his high rank we had the opportunity to go inside the base and board a cargo plane named "Miss Piggy" and I had the chance to ride a helicopter. They gave us "Foo Dogs" shirts, then we got to go to those beaches... the All Hands Beach, Dungeree Beach and Officers Beach Clubs . After the memorable hand over to the Philippine Government, my dad wants me to have an exam to join the US Navy, but I was not lucky because I needed to be 15 to have the exam and I was 14 years old when the turn over happened, after the Pinatubo eruption. Richard Gordon then made his visions for Olongapo because, if there was one person to know Subic Bay, Dick Gordon was one of them. I even joined his "Volunteer for Subic Bay" program where I worked as a lifeguard in the 3 major beaches, which were turned to tourist attractions. I was a professional swimmer that was at times was a varsity player for Olongapo City National High School. I graduated High School March 1994. My School was famed for the name Jackson High School because it was once ran by an American Officers . My Dad, Manny Delfino, worked as a contractor on the first years of SBMA with Dick Gordon sitting as the chairman of SBMA in Building 229, where the Drydocks used to be placed. Then he was absorbed by the American owned company, Enron - Subic Power Corporation, as a Purchasing Manager. My dad was granted the special immigrant status to go to the US, but he was denied almost 5 times, and that is a real heartache to us, for almost all of his colleagues who worked with him in Subic Bay are already residing in the states, while he is still in the Philippines. He worked there for 23 memorable years and I know he is very proud of the American way of life. He always tells us about good things, like the driving lesson he had, the seminars he attended and all of those archirtectural/ drafting reading materials he gave me . Now Olongapo City is just one of the falling cities of the Philippines where once we don't even want to go out of the city because living there is just relaxing. We don't usually go to Manila, for there is so much traffic, pollution, crime and everything. We love Olongapo very much when the American bases where there . One of the great bands of the late 80's was the AMO band. the keyboard player Elmer told me about Olongapo and he said if Olongapo was still the same, he would just stay there coz he could earn what I am earning here in Hong Kong in those times . OLONGAPO RULES!!!

These guys in Manila & the earth Island Institute are eyeing global fund sources for their own agenda.If they want funds, they have to be creative and work for in,not engage in Media Manipulation for Publicity with the end of sourcing foreign donations to their NGO's.Don't allow them to use you to increase their coffers. Just keep on going guys, u have lots o enlightened supporters.My friends see these detractors as what they are, so just disregard them Eventually, they will turn around. It can happen.Meanwhile, full steam ahead, as they say!When are you going to open the 80-room hotel?

Marine park in Subic to stay open, says DENR . The park serves a useful educational function to inform, educate, and mobilize visitors to conserve the species they see there. If I were the species involved, I would sacrifice a few( ourselves, if need be),to be able to survive, and teach humans to be caretakers of the earth. So I vote that the park stay open, but find better ways of promoting their mission. Instead of closing it, the proponents of closure can work with Corcoran & co. 2 find ways of getting what we all want in a win-win situation. These advocates could not even feed the people living under the bridge in Kalaklan, so what right have they to bellyache? It's all a question of making noise to get funds from the public globally . Everybody does it. Excuse me, but I know we must not find, but let's get things in perspective!

Sunken Ship Scavengers . I note with alarm the recent publicity concerning removal of artifacts from sunken ships in Subic Bay and call on authorities to tighten-up regulations that govern Dive Operators within the area . Removal of such artifacts will destroy the country's history reducing tourist attractions within the Bay. Surely all dive operator's should forget personal disagreements or professional jealousy and strive to maintain their livelihood within the bay area, maybe by forming their own industry police body.

Hi JTB, As of the moment, we don't know of any direct flight from Japan to Subic Bay. The Subic Bay International Airport has a regular direct international scheduled and chartered flights. Far Eastern Air Transport Corp. provides international scheduled flights to Taipei and Kaoshiung Taiwan on Sundays and Fridays while Uni-Air flies to Taipei, Taiwan on Mondays and Fridays. Air Asia operates once a week to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia while the Cebu Pacific flies twice a week to Manila and Guangzhou, China. Subic International Air Charters Inc. operates chartered flights to different parts of the Philippines and Southeast Asia region depending on the schedule set by the passenger. If you will pass by Hong Kong, you may opt to travel via CR Airways. here's d link http://www.crairways.com/eng/c3s3.html If you'll pass by Korea, Asiana Airlines will bring you to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Formerly Clark Air Field) where traveling by land to Subic is faster. Although with the newly upgraded North Luzon Expressway, traveling from Manila becomes more pleasurable. Below are some artivles in our blog that may give additional info: More international commercial flights at Clark http://subicbaynews.blogspot.com/2005/03/more-international-commercial-flights.html Malaysian airline is set to start twice-a-day flights... http://articlesphotos.blogspot.com/2005/03/malaysian-airline-is-set-to-start.html More flights in Subic Int’l Airport seen http://subicbaynews.blogspot.com/2005/05/more-flights-in-subic-intl-airport.html SUBIC BAY FLIGHTS http://subicbaynews.blogspot.com/2005/05/subic-bay-flights.html Thank you for visiting our website, edPiano

Volunteerism after the bases' dismantling happened because by that time those workers got paid with their severance pays, so for a few months they could afford not to get paid. Also their partners like me were already abroad working and got job ahead of time, I did not wait the exact date of departure of the Americans to look for another job. Some co-workers from SRF did it because of political affinity and friendships with the administrative officials then. But there were lessons still to be learned from this events, like plans and coordination between local leaders and national government.The bases union leader should be condemned at this point in time. There was a very strong credit union inside the base what happened to it , I do not know now.There were a lot of resources left to be tapped for good use and one thing never thought of were the highly skilled workers . Nobody never thought of organizing and tapping this very important dollar earners . Nevertheless, we all should be proud of the leadership and commitment of then Mayor Richard Gordon...comparing what happened to San Miguel and Clark hope you will be true to that till Malacanang

its unfair po sa mga current SK Officials na sbhin they are trained para maging corrupt.if we go to the other side of the issue, SK po is very important in a community.usually po ang SK ang inaasahan ng mga tao pag may mga commnity development activities for assistance.honestly poh. on the other hand, postponing the elections is quite advantageous sa community.their leaders will be more experienced resulting to better performances. furthermore, for unacceptable officials, people cud make petitions and their entitled to that naman.and if they do really not like their current sk or brgy. officials bcuz of unlawful acts,8 is but proper to change him/her and may batas po tayo para jan.

kung lagi na lang na ipo-postpone ang eleksyon sa barangay, baka sa sunod i-postponed na rin ang halalan ng mayor, governors, congressmen at mga senador dahil sa kawalan ng pondo.pwede sigurong magamit ang IRA ng barangay at SK na nauuwi lang sa walang katuturang paggamit. Sumasang-ayon naman po ako na gawing volunteer body na lamang ang SK dahil maaga tayong nagti-train ng mga BATANG CORRUPT na LIDER.

I was stationed in Subic Bay from 1989-1992 in Security (FSD). Some of the locals called it OPM. If you knew me and would like to contact me please feel free to. I went to bars on Gordon Avenue a lot. Bars like Viva Young, Terry's, Cindy's, The Body Shop, Tides and all the rest on Gordon Ave. I also went to a few bars on Magsaysay like D'rock, D'bird, State Rock and Slims Tavern just off the street. The Barrio I didn't go out to much but if I did it was J&B, Abracadabra and maybe a couple others. I made a few runs out to subic city but not many. If you worked in one of these bars and remember me please feel free to contact me.

US Veterans and World war 2 Veterans suffered from mental, and physical hardship as well as financial benefits. Veterans hospital in the philippines that is supposed to be for World war 2 veterans use extensively by the philippine Congress, Senate, but those who suffered the most are Not being taking care off. What kind of leadership is being practice by the philippine congress ? Former President Ramos should look into the matter since he is war veterans himself. Filipinos that served the world war 2 must be taking care off. Our greatest achievement in life is not how much we make but how we take care of those who made ultimate sacrfice, our Veterans that survived must be taken care off. No country will endure for a longer period of time without giving respect to our fallen heros and veterans of war.Let's not forget that freedom is not cheap. Soldiers have to die for it and give life to others. MABUHAY, MY FELLOW VETERANS

I am filipina concerned citizen about the rape case. I am raised by my parents and right now i'm working in a company. About the rape case, I dont understand why shes in the middle of the night with those guys by herself. I 'm not depending the dependant but If you analyzed. Ito ba ang tawag n dalagang pilipina, nasa club with guys. Asan ang kanyang dignidad na sinasabi nasa club almost madaling araw na. Yes its true, First of all shes drunk, alam naman natin na pag nakainum ka humuhina ang pagkalakas mo. 2nd of all Shes stupid. Siguro lasengga sya. o yan na talaga ang trabaho nya. Just analyze it, Ang babaing nasa club in the middle of the night by herself ano ang tawag mo dyan. Talagang naghahanap pero di nya nakaya dahil nga sabi nya marami sila. For all other filipinas na kagaya ko Please dont ever ever go to the night clubs talagang sasabihin sa yo bayaran ka kase nasa club ka e Please lang mga kagaya kong dalaga lalo na ang mga nagtratrabaho sa night clubs dahil sa inyo parepareho ang mga tingin ng mga foriegner sa atin e . At sa rape case naman. BAKIT ka nasa club in the middle of the night at nagdidirty dancing ka pa sa mga kano ofcourse ang tingin sa you e bayaran ikaw rin naman ang may kasalanan. Those ladies working in a club why not to find disenting trabaho atlease walang masasabe ang mga iba how can a parents approved their ladies going out in the middle of the night and sa clubs pa. Are those parents desperate? How can a filipina stayed in a bar for almost in the morning na ? How can we as a filipina protect our dignity to any alliens if others are prostitute.How can you tell that a filipina rape case is an innocent if shes in the middle of the night dancing dirty dance to those navy's. We all knows that the marines ay nasa laot for mostly 6-1 year. Ngayon lang sila naka hantong sa lupa we expect that they are very hunger for everything. At sa mga pinay naman if you realy dont want to communicate with them sana dont intertain them

Hi , My name is Jimmy Edwards ,I reside in Kinston, N.C. I have a story I think you might be interested in.30 years ago I had a daughter born in The Philippines and due to me being in the navy I lost contact with her mother. I have not seen my daughter since 1975,I found her with some help from people on the internet,in March the day before her 30th birthday.I am not able financially to go see her,but guess what. A German T.V producer heard of our story and decided to do a documentary on us,they are paying for everything , I left Sept.17th for The Philippines and returned to The U. S. on Oct 1st . Thank God after all these years I got to see my daughter and grandsons . Now I help Amerasians find their fathers in America now. Let me show you the letter I send to people asking for help.My contact info ,should you want it is. Jimmy R. Edwards 214 Williams Loop Rd Kinston,N.C. 28504 252-522-9646 Letter of Introduction I am Jimmy Edwards the father of an Amerasian in The Philippines ,I had been searching for my daughter since 1980,with the help of Amerasianfoundation and Marissa Navidad,she was located on the day before her 30th birthday,Thank God.After me and my daughter started talking, I found out about her siblings and a lot of Amerasians that were looking for their fathers, and in some cases mothers even,so I resolved to try and help them.I found a “Search Angel” that was willing to do the searches,Thank God for her. So with Marissa in The Philippines, our “Search Angel’ and me in the states, we started our little adventure,helping Amerasians .That is my introduction,and I hope we will be able to help you.

I was watching the devastation of New Orleans in television and I was really horrified. I remember one time I went to see the dike in Namatacan, is this not the same situation that our town San Narciso is put into? I noticed that the river bed is silted and way up higher than the town below. What if a rain of this magnitude would poor on this area (siyam-siyam) it might break the dike and flood our whole town, as what was happened in a few years past. I heard some farmlands there that have been seeping water from the ground. I am hoping I am wrong, but somebody please take notice and inform the authorities about this. Someone of knowledge about waterways(like a civil engineer) should be asked to investigate this. I also remember way up is a lake that has put underwater the barrio Aglao in San Marcelino and some part of Sta. Fe. You can see that on your way up to the mines. Will somebody in this forum dare to check on this, or say something about this? Thanks, Gene

Olongapo City belongs to the people of Olongapo. Not to the Gordons, or to their minions. But, the people of the city CHOOSE the GORDONS. Mahirap bang intindihin yon? Politically and socially, SBMA belongs to Olongapo. The Magsaysays should stay away from Olongapo. They already have the big chunk of Zambales Province to administer and govern. Mas mahirap yatang intindihin ito? Hurray to the GORDONS and MAGSAYSAYS!

Subic is still a beautiful place. Angeles City is the hub of current ex-pat activity. Angeles also has a thriving bar scene reminiscent of Olongapo in it's heyday . "When I die, I'll go to hell; because I served MY time in heaven (subic/Olongapo)" > GMG2 D.C. Bennett (NavMag/7th Flt ShoPat/AFP)

Hello to all!!! I am not a servicemen dependent, but my family grew up in Olongapo City. My mom, Elenita Delfino, used to work as a nanny and helper in the Binictican Housing Facilities to some high ranking officers, while my dad, Manny Delfino, used to work as a proud "and I mean very hardworking" employee of the Public Works Center - Housing Facilities . I am working in Hong Kong now as a singer of a band in the streets of Wan Chai, Lan Kwai Fong and Kowloon. Whenever I walk the streets of Wan Chai, I can remember my younger days when I was walking Magsaysay Drive. Girl Bars, Clubs, Restaurants were abundant before the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. Everyone in Olongapo City is contented and happy working along side the said base. The Mardigras is one of the best happenings in town. I have seen so many things with my young eyes whenever I stroll around Magsaysay Drive in the night time because we get very clean and potable water near the main gate. Then girls from those bars, as I can remember, The Road Runner, situated at the corner of the street going to Columbian College . I thank Subic Naval Base on whatever I have right now. My father served PWC - Housing for 23 long years. I can speak very good English because of the exposure to American Officers like Bill (I dont know his surname) and our best buddy, when I was like 10 years old, who lived in our place. Lt. Cmdr. Walter Millowic. He was a very fine Bachelor at that time. He gave us American treatment, plays basketball with us, gives us Halloween trick or treats, Christmas parties and everything, and because of his high rank we had the opportunity to go inside the base and board a cargo plane named "Miss Piggy" and I had the chance to ride a helicopter. They gave us "Foo Dogs" shirts, then we got to go to those beaches... the All Hands Beach, Dungeree Beach and Officers Beach Clubs . After the memorable hand over to the Philippine Government, my dad wants me to have an exam to join the US Navy, but I was not lucky because I needed to be 15 to have the exam and I was 14 years old when the turn over happened, after the Pinatubo eruption. Richard Gordon then made his visions for Olongapo because, if there was one person to know Subic Bay, Dick Gordon was one of them. I even joined his "Volunteer for Subic Bay" program where I worked as a lifeguard in the 3 major beaches, which were turned to tourist attractions. I was a professional swimmer that was at times was a varsity player for Olongapo City National High School. I graduated High School March 1994. My School was famed for the name Jackson High School because it was once ran by an American Officers . My Dad, Manny Delfino, worked as a contractor on the first years of SBMA with Dick Gordon sitting as the chairman of SBMA in Building 229, where the Drydocks used to be placed. Then he was absorbed by the American owned company, Enron - Subic Power Corporation, as a Purchasing Manager. My dad was granted the special immigrant status to go to the US, but he was denied almost 5 times, and that is a real heartache to us, for almost all of his colleagues who worked with him in Subic Bay are already residing in the states, while he is still in the Philippines. He worked there for 23 memorable years and I know he is very proud of the American way of life. He always tells us about good things, like the driving lesson he had, the seminars he attended and all of those archirtectural/ drafting reading materials he gave me . Now Olongapo City is just one of the falling cities of the Philippines where once we don't even want to go out of the city because living there is just relaxing. We don't usually go to Manila, for there is so much traffic, pollution, crime and everything. We love Olongapo very much when the American bases where there . One of the great bands of the late 80's was the AMO band. the keyboard player Elmer told me about Olongapo and he said if Olongapo was still the same, he would just stay there coz he could earn what I am earning here in Hong Kong in those times . OLONGAPO RULES!!!

Tim, John, you can have a cross-selling MOA with the Yupangco Group's Zoobic Adventure, and include Conservation intl., and everybody who wants join your Information & Education Campaign Advocancy for Nature. These guys in Manila & the earth Island Institute are eyeing global fund sources for their own agenda.If they want funds, they have to be creative and work for in,not engage in Media Manipulation for Publicity with the end of sourcing foreign donations to their NGO's.Don't allow them to use you to increase their coffers. Just keep on going guys, u have lots o enlightened supporters.My friends see these detractors as what they are, so just disregard them Eventually, they will turn around. It can happen.Meanwhile, full steam ahead, as they say!When are you going to open the 80-room hotel?

Marine park in Subic to stay open, says DENR . The park serves a useful educational function to inform, educate, and mobilize visitors to conserve the species they see there. If I were the species involved, I would sacrifice a few( ourselves, if need be),to be able to survive, and teach humans to be caretakers of the earth. So I vote that the park stay open, but find better ways of promoting their mission. Instead of closing it, the proponents of closure can work with Corcoran & co. 2 find ways of getting what we all want in a win-win situation. These advocates could not even feed the people living under the bridge in Kalaklan, so what right have they to bellyache? It's all a question of making noise to get funds from the public globally . Everybody does it. Excuse me, but I know we must not find, but let's get things in perspective!

Sunken Ship Scavengers . I note with alarm the recent publicity concerning removal of artifacts from sunken ships in Subic Bay and call on authorities to tighten-up regulations that govern Dive Operators within the area . Removal of such artifacts will destroy the country's history reducing tourist attractions within the Bay. Surely all dive operator's should forget personal disagreements or professional jealousy and strive to maintain their livelihood within the bay area, maybe by forming their own industry police body.

Hi JTB, As of the moment, we don't know of any direct flight from Japan to Subic Bay. The Subic Bay International Airport has a regular direct international scheduled and chartered flights. Far Eastern Air Transport Corp. provides international scheduled flights to Taipei and Kaoshiung Taiwan on Sundays and Fridays while Uni-Air flies to Taipei, Taiwan on Mondays and Fridays. Air Asia operates once a week to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia while the Cebu Pacific flies twice a week to Manila and Guangzhou, China. Subic International Air Charters Inc. operates chartered flights to different parts of the Philippines and Southeast Asia region depending on the schedule set by the passenger. If you will pass by Hong Kong, you may opt to travel via CR Airways. here's d link http://www.crairways.com/eng/c3s3.html If you'll pass by Korea, Asiana Airlines will bring you to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Formerly Clark Air Field) where traveling by land to Subic is faster. Although with the newly upgraded North Luzon Expressway, traveling from Manila becomes more pleasurable. Below are some artivles in our blog that may give additional info: More international commercial flights at Clark http://subicbaynews.blogspot.com/2005/03/more-international-commercial-flights.html Malaysian airline is set to start twice-a-day flights... http://articlesphotos.blogspot.com/2005/03/malaysian-airline-is-set-to-start.html More flights in Subic Int’l Airport seen http://subicbaynews.blogspot.com/2005/05/more-flights-in-subic-intl-airport.html SUBIC BAY FLIGHTS http://subicbaynews.blogspot.com/2005/05/subic-bay-flights.html Thank you for visiting our website, edPiano

Volunteerism after the bases' dismantling happened because by that time those workers got paid with their severance pays, so for a few months they could afford not to get paid. Also their partners like me were already abroad working and got job ahead of time, I did not wait the exact date of departure of the Americans to look for another job. Some co-workers from SRF did it because of political affinity and friendships with the administrative officials then. But there were lessons still to be learned from this events, like plans and coordination between local leaders and national government.The bases union leader should be condemned at this point in time. There was a very strong credit union inside the base what happened to it , I do not know now.There were a lot of resources left to be tapped for good use and one thing never thought of were the highly skilled workers . Nobody never thought of organizing and tapping this very important dollar earners . Nevertheless, we all should be proud of the leadership and commitment of then Mayor Richard Gordon...comparing what happened to San Miguel and Clark hope you will be true to that till Malacanang

its unfair po sa mga current SK Officials na sbhin they are trained para maging corrupt.if we go to the other side of the issue, SK po is very important in a community.usually po ang SK ang inaasahan ng mga tao pag may mga commnity development activities for assistance.honestly poh. on the other hand, postponing the elections is quite advantageous sa community.their leaders will be more experienced resulting to better performances. furthermore, for unacceptable officials, people cud make petitions and their entitled to that naman.and if they do really not like their current sk or brgy. officials bcuz of unlawful acts,8 is but proper to change him/her and may batas po tayo para jan.

kung lagi na lang na ipo-postpone ang eleksyon sa barangay, baka sa sunod i-postponed na rin ang halalan ng mayor, governors, congressmen at mga senador dahil sa kawalan ng pondo.pwede sigurong magamit ang IRA ng barangay at SK na nauuwi lang sa walang katuturang paggamit. Sumasang-ayon naman po ako na gawing volunteer body na lamang ang SK dahil maaga tayong nagti-train ng mga BATANG CORRUPT na LIDER.
