Subic Magsaysay Road

Subic used to have a bad name attached to it during the time of the American Bases... You'll see girlie bars and joints catering to the flesh trade... You can compare Subic to Bangkok, plus the big number of American Soldiers (at least that was before when the bases was still in Olongapo).
When the bases left, Subic was like a ghost town... businesses were down and the crowd that used to flock the street of Magsaysay were all gone. Thanks to the people of Subic who just don't want to give up... Subic is once again a busy and happy place... one that could rival that of Phuket and Ko Samui of Thailand with it's friendly people and nice beaches...
Staying here for almost a week now taught me alot about the place... It's common to find an american looking individual here who speaks better Filipino than me... hehehe! Bars are still open but now they're all for clean fun. :) Lots of partying and Internet shops as well as good food along Magsaysay Road. Cheap hotel accomodation and friendly people who's willing to show you around the area. Definitely a nice place to spend your vacation.
