Subic

Introduction

Born after closure of US Subic Naval Base, once the biggest US naval base in the Pacific, Subic under the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) has become one of the most promising growth center and international gateway for the Philippines following Clark in Angeles City. From an old American base, SBMA has been converting the base area into a new city that combines progress and nature preservation.

In the past few years, the SBMA has introduced different tourism activities, most focusing on nature preservation and adventure.
