Zg434

Zg434. This is a detailed map of Fort Wint on Grande Island in Subic Bay. It was produced a long time ago by the crew of a Navy Oiler, operating out the Subic Bay Naval Base, post war.

Zg433. Unmaked Fort Wint battle report copy. After the fort was abandoned, its commander, Col Boudreau, wrote the above after action report. Among the details is the fact that on December 18, 1941, one or more of the four guns at Battery Jewell sank a small boat, most likely a barge (aka landing craft) holding […]

Zg729

Zg729. (-07) this is the Bacolor Cockfighting Arena, partially buried by the Mt. Pinatubo lahar and it still stands today, just east of the east Megadike and just north of the Olongapo-Gapan Road.

Zg733

Zg733. (-21) A view of Bacolor Town proper south of the Olongapo-Gapan Road that is the way it looked then. It has come back to life now! We see the famous church that is buried up to the upper windows, which serve now as doors. In the future I will make a separate album of […]

Zg732.

The DPHW is building a temporary bridge over the Pasig Potrero River which is now […]

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

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.
