Subic bay ... Olongapo city ... sh$t river ... clap city ... San Miguel beer ... fond memories.
Ernie’s Third Eye Supper Club, Marylyns, Dogpatch Hotel...
14 piso mojo in that place off West Tapinac...
Of course White Castle Rum must not be forgotten either.
Ah, yes, the corner of Magsaysay and Rizal - there’s a Christian Science reading room there. I heard there were other things going on in Olongapo but naturally I wouldn’t know what they were.
Monkey meat on a stick Mmnn, Mmnn, Mmnn. I don’t remember any of that other stuff though :)
1962 - spent almost six months tied to the pier. Fond memories indeeed.

I was TDY to Clark AFB twice in the early 1970’s. Loved San Miguel beer, however you never wanted to hold your beer up to a light......there were ‘things’ floating around in the bottle that I couldn’t identify. The joke was that you had to drink your beer quickly before whatever was in the bottle drank it first.
EODGUY
San Miguel beer - Make that a five star San Miguel beer

Subic Bay Good port
Olangapo ...definitely the ‘arm pit’ of Westpac but some of the GREATEST liberty in the world.
sh$t river - can’t get from A to C without it...Moon River it ain’t but the local yutes would dive for coins...And people in this country think they have nothing.
clap city - fortunately it does not apply to YT.
San Miguel beer - NOW that was a ‘green’ product even the Liberals could love.... especially when brewed yesterday with the pristine waters of the sh$t river and consumed by greatful Sailors the next day or so - that swill had absolutely no cure time and definitely a short shelf life...<: <:
All memories of Subic area are fond, even had our own little HUK forces to keep you on your toes.
The only reason I am alive today, after many memories were/are inspired by the region, is because I was aboard ship and we had some much needed underway time (recuperation) while going to the next grand Liberty Port, and not FORCED to partake of the goodies 3 nights out of 4.....
