Subic Bay
Subic Bay is a natural deep-water harbour situated in Zambales Province, Philippines. The main city there is Olongapo City.
Until 1992 an American base, the Subic Bay Naval Base, was located there. It was home to the huge U.S. Seventh Fleet and its supporting infrastructure. During the period of the American base, the surrounding local communities benefited at least in economic revenue from supplying the base's requirements.
After the departure of the Americans, the area was still frequented by tourists coming for duty-free shopping, scuba diving to the wrecks, and beach resort holidays.
Now the area has been the Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ). Developers are building golf courses, yacht clubs, casinos and hotels for both wealthy local and foreign visitors.
