Zo962. This Aurora Pavilion is progressing rather slowly, I think they are constructing 2 years already. They had a big crane, maybe they don’t need it any more. For your orientation, to the photographer’s right is the Tappan Park, across the street to the right of the project is the compound with the Subic Bay Chapel.

The APEC meeting of 1996 was held here and President Ramos was the Philippine President then. On this side of Triboa Bay, for the APEC meeting, 20 or so villas were built, one for each Head of State of the APEC member countries. These villas are now leased out. The actual APEC meeting was held in the famous Cubi Point Officer Club.

I’m one of those persons who appreciates all the new malls in Subic Bay, when we run this place, we did not have them. I know my family members enjoy the malls; they are great places to hang out. And if you want to by something, it is right there.

Zo966

Zo966. This is location 3 on the map and in this picture, it is item 2 in the video. I just copied the Reviera Condo and Hotel view from their promotion sign. We can see the actual construction just behind the promotion sign, I think they are already at their planed top floor.

Zo964

Zo964. This is item 2 on the map. In the video it is not counted but was shown briefly. This steel structure is new and is being worked on. What is interesting here, is that here was a massive construction going on before, maybe 5 to 10 years ago and it was supposed to be a large High-rise, a Korean investment, buy in and we build. The 1/2 length of this large block, the concrete foundation was completed but then went broke.

My friend Carlito reports that our VFW 11447 Post is moving here into the Baker’s place. The old VFW location suffered problems because of the National Highway widening project, the front of building had to go. A conflict arose as to who pays for that.
