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.

Zo959. This is a current picture of the former Subic Bay Naval Base main gate bridge. The former Base is now called the Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ) and it is administered by the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). The bridge has been secured for vehicle traffic a few years now and a plan to replace it is in the works. It seems the virus pandemic from Red China has slowed down the project. This picture is from the First SM Mall, they have parking on the upper floors. We see the Main Gate vehicle guard shack and I marked in some other landmarks for your orientation. If you look closely, you also can see the Philippine Flag, where ours and theirs flew jointly in the past.

Zo957. The Philippines was the host country in for the 2019 South East Asia Games. The games were conducted in several different venues including Subic Bay. This view is from the Burgos St., across the Remy Sports Field in the direction, towards the main gate. I believe the running track was redone, and the spectator seats were replaced and this time there is a cover against the elements. It was built by the new Management of the former Subic Bal Naval Base, now the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). For your orientation you can see the first, not the new SM Mall which is located in Olongapo, just across the main gate bridge.

Zo956. The Philippines was the host country in for the 2019 South East Asia Games. The games were conducted in several different venues including Subic Bay. This Subic Gym building is located along the Aguinaldo St., our sailor’s former Liberty Route to the main gate. It was built by the new Management, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) after the Subic Bal Naval Base was returned to the Philippine Authority. This building is located on the Remy Sports Field and was renovated for these 2019 Games.
