To give a brief history lesson on Subic Bay, it used to be called the US Naval Base Subic Bay, a major ship-repair, supply, etc. used by the navy of Spain and America way, way~ back. Furthermore, it also used to be the largest overseas military installation of the USAF right until one of its bases closed in 1991. It was approximately 100 kilometers (62~ miles) northwest of Manila Bay and was the size of Singapore.
And in the year 1992, it was turned into the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, a commercial area of sorts when the ownership was returned to us. But unlike Manila Bay, it was shared by several towns that turned it into a tourist spot of sorts but even though the ownership changed this past few decades, there was still a Marine base present even though its size wasn't the same as before.
But that was not all there was in regards to my excitement.
