Olongapo, the lone city in Zambales, is a highly urbanized city. Having stayed in this locality longer than I have stayed in my hometown, I consider the place my second home.
Olongapo was dubbed “sin city” in the past especially during the time of the giant U.S. Naval Base. It has a nightlife even until now although not as active as when the U.S. Facility was here and when Magsaysay Drive and portions of Gordon and Rizal Avenues could be observed teeming with U.S. service members on liberty.
Many Olongapo residents, natives and transients alike, have left the City especially after the Mount Pinatubo eruption and the American Bases' pullout. Many of them, I believe, would like to see images of the City again. This blog post is for them.

I look forward to adding more pictures of Olongapo City on this blog post at a later date. I believe pictures of a beach, the grotto in Mabayuan, a waterfall in Gordon Heights, a school campus, and the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) viewed from an elevated place would make this blog entry a lot more interesting. So, until then.
Oddy, ang galing galing mong manguha ng pictures. Ang gaganda ng mga kuha mo.
ReplyDeleteSalamat, Nida! I also plan to feature Subic (in pictures) sa mga future blog posts ko.
ReplyDeleteSiyanga pala, I was able to talk to Vincent Bueno, kangi-kangina lang. Matagal na akong may number niya. I tried dialing his number noon pero defective or old ang battery ng cell phone ko. Now that I have bought a new cel, sinubukan ko. And it was a successful call. Very clear ang voice niya and, of course, tuwang-tuwa siya. He speaks very fluent Tagalog.
