Zg731

Zg731. (-16) A view of the Bacolor area north of the Olongapo-Gapan Road that is the way it looked then. It has come back to life now! I don’t have a picture but I saw a Mercedes Car lifted up high and pushed against the roof and the lahar under it kept it there.

Zg730

Zg730. (-12) this is the beginning of the new Olongapo-Gapan Road in Bacolor in 1995; it is at the same place only a few meters higher now. The new official name of this road is Jose Abad Santos Ave, a true Filipino Hero! Notice the Bacolor Church at right in a distance.

Zg423. (-Images #00 to #02) are a Google map as to where the bridge is; the name of the bridge as engraved at the bridge and your 81 year young guide. For the purpose of these image descriptions, let’s accept that the bridge runs on a north-south axis! I happen to love wearing that Army […]

Zg427

Zg427. (-Images #45 to #48) are a round of shots, left to right, from the west lanes of SCTEC, on the Pasig Potrero Bridge, and mostly in the upriver direction.

Zg426

Zg426. (-Images #34 to #44) are views down the Pasig-Potrero River from the in-between space, between the west and east lanes of the Pasig Potrero River Bridge. There are two vista shots to the west. 8 shots are of the bridge pilings, important; they are the pilings under the west lanes because I was shooting […]

Zg425

Zg425. (-Images #30 to #32) are 3 close-up images, looking down to the Pasig Potrero River from the east lanes of the bridge. It seems the iron sheeting; perhaps put in place to stable the river bed level was not good enough. I speculate they have to something similar in the near future, but better […]

Zg424

Zg424. (-Images #16 to #23) are pictures of my approach to the bridge; I had entered SCTEX about ½ Km or less north of it. I was walking on the east lanes and the west lanes a truck came by and moved thru some road blockage and he was going on the proper side, heading […]

Zg422

Zg422. It seems Audi Murphy liked Gen. MacArthur and I know a few more that did, JFK and Bull Halsey, to name a few. Thank you Life Magazine for this image.

Zg414

Zg414. (-199 to 208) are pictures of the Kalaklan Point area, at the mouth of the Kalaklan River and Kalaklan Light House. We see views of the Kalaklan Olongapo Cemetery, the Kalaklan Point, views of Subic Bay, SBFZ, the former Subic Bay Naval Base, Grande Island and the National Highway going around Kalaklan Point to […]

Zg413

Zg413. (-196 to 198) are pictures from the Olongapo Cemetery down to the NW end of the former Subic Bay Naval Station with sweeping views of the Boton Wharf area, the former Naval Air Station Cubi Point and we even see the munitions wharfs of the former Naval Magazine area. All of this is now […]
