Ze453. (-43) Zoomed in. This shot covers the area just inside the Kalaklan Gate in the SBFZ, the former Naval Station Subic Bay. This was shot from the Olongapo Cemetery 2019-03-14. Everything near the shoreline is a hotel, restaurant or other entertainment business. The red roof is a brand new business, but I don’t know what. In front of that tall and brown building used to be the Navy NIS building.
