A GLIMPSE OF SUBIC
“Take advantage of a balanced lifestyle...”
“Paint your life with the Subic experience...”
There’s something about Subic Bay that makes you want to stay. It could be the history and civilization. It could be the warmth of the people. It could be the relaxed pace. The sea breeze. The food. Whatever it may be, Subic will captivate you and you will find yourself exhilarated with bliss.
Strategically positioned in the dynamic Asia Pacific Region, Subic Bay occupies a 60,000-hectare complex including some areas of its neighbors - Zambales and Bataan.
Subic is a shining jewel in Central Luzon, geographically located 110 kilometers northwest of Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
