What is now a modern freeport and tourism zone was America’s largest naval facility in the Pacific region until the eruption of the Mount Pinatubo in 1991. But such was the violence of the volcanic eruption that the US Navy pulled out and abandoned the Subic Naval Base.
Witness the aftermath brought by Mount Pinatubo’s eruption (considered the strongest volcanic eruption in the last century) while passing through the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga. Then visit a JEST Camp (Jungle Environmental Survival Training Camp) where indigenous people called Aetas demonstrate survival skills in a tropical rain forest. Experience a Zoobic safari with its ride-through tiger enclosure (the only one of its kind in the Philippines.) There is an option to stop by duty free shops inside the Freeport Zone before the return trip to Manila.
