Subic Freeport, Not The Provincial Lifestyle

Comment on your post "SBMA Not The Only Game In Town":

responding to sbma not the only game in town.. i agree. with seven thousand plus islands. why stay in a open cess pool such as subic. its been three years since my last stay in subic, but i doubt that shit river flows anywhere but right into the harbor, as always. if you are being fleeced, why stay. there are clean beaches just a hour away in san antonio and iba, with beach resorts already there. there are banks and shopping in every city. there are wet markets in every town, for your fish and vegetables. there is a better bar district in manila and angeles city.. might i suggest that you expand your horizons and leave subic.. i am only guessing that people stay there for the hopes of being some what safer ,, then other areas.. but i dont beleive that has been true, since the u.s. was kicked out.. the phils is a large and beautiful country. if one part has gone bad, simply move.

[The Subic Bulletin] Its unfortunate that you have such a shortsighted view of life in Subic. The people who contribute to this website mostly live in Subic and feel that its one of the best places on earth, why do we uncover the shortcomings of the administration and the things that are not right? Because we want to keep it better.

Unfortunately the level of poor education and corruption makes government officials neglect their duties and abandon their constituents, however places like the Subic Freeport were setup to position areas of international standards breaking free of the local problems, Subic Bay Freeport does this but unfortunately the system is still not perfect and that's why we discuss these issues and expose them in The Subic Bulletin.

While we agree the beaches around San Antonio are attractive most of us don't choose to live the provincial lifestyle, most of us have more in our life than a beach, wet market and a bank and whats worse the provincial government is typically running unchecked and you would never get enough people with computers to do what we are doing right here.

We appreciate your opinion but maybe you should come back to Subic again some time with a more open mind. We will still welcome you.
