Zf534. This is the SBFZ Main Gate Bridge being rebuilt. The project is going very, very slowly but this picture shows some progress. Those big pipes are new, perhaps for pouring concrete for the bridge pilings.

Zf533. This is the concrete embankment wall along the National Highway to Zambales. It is just short of the entrance to the Baloy Long Beach. Recently someone painted graffiti on the wall about American Imperialism. It seems shortly thereafter, someone or the authorities painted over it and got rid of that foul graffiti. Thanks, great […]

Zf529. (49). Mysterious vehicles at large lot with a pool, which catered to visitors, as late as a year ago. The pool was closed because of the virus from Red China. Very, very seldom does one see vehicles on Kalaklan Ridge because the road is bad. But because of the electrical work here an old […]

Zf528. (41). Will be 80 in March, not bad; when a Filipino asks me how old I am, I answer “binata pa” (still a youngster)! A new campaign sign, on top of Kalaklan Ridge, overlooking Olongapo! This is one of 17 images of my climb/walk back up to Kalaklan Ridge to where the Magsaysay, and […]

Zf5527. (34). This is one of 17 images of my climb/walk back up to Kalaklan Ridge to where the Magsaysay, and others, political campaign sign was erected. It sure reminded me at the Olongapo Sign that was located here many decades ago. Other campaign signs are pictured, in May will be the National Election for […]

Zf526. (10). Our 3rd and new mall in Olongapo, the SM Central. It was build at the site of the old Olongapo Quonsets Huts Hospital! This is one of 9 images of Olongapo City views during my descend from on top of Kalaklan Ridge down to near the bridge that leads into Olongapo and the […]

Zf344.-08 210730 SBFZ, PI Flag 2. I think this a historical picture; look at the large Philippine Flag on that very tall flagpole. The wind is from the south-west, like it supposed to be in the Monsoon Season. If you look close you can see the two shorter flagpoles to the left, that’s where ours […]

Zf343.-05 210616 SBFZ, view to Cubi Point. This picture is shot from the SM Mall, Olongapo City side of the main gate bridge, about 7 stories high. SBFZ has been trying to replace, rebuild the main gate bridge to SBFZ (ex Naval Base) for some time. It has been several years now, something is not […]

Zf342.-01 120627 National Hwy cut by Baloy Beach entrance. There are always a few people that don’t like us very much. But I think, not too many people pay attention to this. Recently the National Highway thru Barretto has been widened and this is the cut thru the ridge that runs to Baloy, so the […]
