Zf532. This is one of 5 images of the remains of a 1945 Navy pier at the Barrio Barretto Beach. Here, in what is now Barrio Barretto and an international vacation spot was a Naval Supply Depot in 1945 until it moved the Subic Bay Naval Base proper around the 1950s. This was a very […]

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 […]

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 […]
