Barretto, The New Hawaii

Comment from a reader on "Subic Bay's Driftwood Beach":

A couple of years ago Dick Gordon gave a presentation in Olongapo and made the statement that all of the property in Baretto on the beach side of the road is Federal Land.

Any deeds or other conveyances issued by Iba are null and void since they cannot deed federal lands.

His dream was to make it like another Waikiki Beach (that's a laugh in itself- imagine a beach in Hawaii at the local sewage treatment facility).

In any event, any landowner on the beach in Baretto had better research the situation. If I owned property there, I would sell sell sell. If Dick becomes President, you can rest assured that he will stake claim to all federal land and funnel federal money to his beloved Olongapo.

[The Subic Bulletin] At the risk of being accused AGAIN as pro Gordon, we have to put our two cents worth in here. With only a few exceptions like Papagayo, By The Sea and Palm Tree Resort property owners have done very little to take any advantage of the beachfront location.

Driving along the national road, you would have no idea that the beachfront that looks out into Subic Bay is just stone throw away, but forget Waikiki, the hotels are built up against the sand making the path along the beach front a goat trail, what Baretto needs is an promenade with one wide open walkway lined with terrace cafes and bars.

The sewage outlet should not be a problem providing the treatment plant and pipe extension is part of the plan. The only problem that would need to be solved is keeping beggars especially the pesky children out of the area.
