Angeles City Philippines : Motovlog #1 - Philippines Old Clark Air Force Base

[@mgd455]

Hello Brian, As I've stated, I was stationed at CAFB Aug 1983 thru Aug 1986. You have no idea, how much I appreciate your video blogs about Clark...brings back such memories. I lived in the old housing area by the Clark FM radio tower. The tower was in my backyard, I still have photos. I've been able to see where my old house sat. I've also been able to see the old hospital, and can see where to the commissionary and gast station was. I remember there was a hill with caves dug out by the Japaneses, the hill butt up against the parking lot of the old NCO club. Great memories...again you have no idea how much I appreciate your videos. michael

[@hankcoulston3968]

I wish I was with you riding on clark

[@RichLee2088]

I miss the old Clark AB

[@kuyabillromjue6892]

Nice, coming from a Military Family here this is nice. I will share this with some of my Family who served. I am sure a few of them have been to Clark and Subic at some point. Thank You, Brian ! I really enjoy your content as always. :)

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thanks for sharing Kuya Bill

[@air4ce80]

Nice to see the new and improved Clark. In spite of over 26 years, I can still remember the old establishments...i.e Airman's club is now Duty Free shop, the base hotel is now Holiday Inn, etc. Thank you for bringing us inside the former Clark Air Base. Tony M.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you for taking the time to view.

[@thomasodetinape4180]

I agree new, but not improved. Clark was like a Rolex watch of the USAF of bases. Just beautiful.

[@johnrhansonsr]

I along with my wife and kids were stationed at Clark AB in 1974 and we lived in Green Meadows, Mabalacat. We chose that location because the wife's family who is from Pangasinan could easily find us. Since we used the Mabalacat gate on a regular basis we really enjoyed seeing some of our old stomping grounds. Thanks for the video and we look forward to seeing more.

[@gregharrison7763]

Thanks for the video on the old air force base Brian,looks like a great ride to go on. Hope you do a lot more rides around the philippines.

[@malonprowl66hec72]

Great ride Brian. Video was very clear & sound was spot on . . I like coming to Angeles City .on way to Marcos Roxas Isabela .

[@christinenewhouse1264]

Brian, Can you go to the enlisted housing area?My dad was stationed at Clark and I went to school at McArthur Middle school..Thanks for the video's..keep it coming..

[@shaka2010100]

Very nice. I use to ride my bicycle inside Clark. I use to hate the rough road between Mabalacat gate to the picnic grounds. Now, they have new road? Great!! I'm going to start riding Clark again. But it will be on my scooter from now on. It's a good place to ride, even though it's not a very huge place.

[@edgardoparales2957]

Wow nice Ride Bryan,I’ve been in Clark Air Force Base Before I mean a lonnnng.time ago Back in 1968 I use to Play Music in O,Club every Friday Afternoon 4 - 6 happy hour.before I came here in the States in 73 my Dad is a Retired US Navy.

[@NMjack2000]

Thanks for sharing your videos. Got to see places that I was at many years ago. I arrived there in 1966 after a long flight for the US. And the navy had a bus waiting for us to go to Subic Bay. It was a hot day and everyone stripped off the Dress Blues into Fair Weather Whites asap. +++

[@billdiliberto]

very enjoyable bike tour

[@vincentenueve7843]

Great video video. Loved it, as I do most of your videos. Keep living the dream.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you for taking the time to view.

[@charleshoadley47]

The new mic system work out great, it was a nice ride along with you.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you.

[@michaelfabella369]

Nice tour Brian.

[@subicboyz01]

how's about a run thru the SM Clark Mall its always full of folks enjoying the scene.

[@dlorbieski]

Brian....nice vlog....thanks for taking us along. I thought audio was very good. Take care

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you.

[@PhiloM]

Great video brother that was one giant loop starting at the right side of SM Mall and going around the entire base so cool I was following along on Google Maps while you were calling out the various locations I took my family back there a couple of years ago to the Zoocobia Fun Zoo it was a great day and a lot of fun.

[@robertleibold4502]

Brian, was that a volcano I seen in the distance just before you made the turn to the Friendship Gate?

[@malonprowl66hec72]

Yes

[@shangrila66]

Great Video ! Thanks for sharing ... Perfect !

[@augefamily9893]

The sound was great and we enjoyed the visual as well. Thank you!

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you.

[@GenerationAsian]

When I was a young airman I heard alot of stories about the good old days like there and panama

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I always hear from the old timers here in Angeles the same thing. Ahhh the good old days....lol

[@thomasodetinape4180]

Panama was nothing to Clark.

[@deltonholler479]

Your looking good brother.! That road is smooth, wish that was there back in 87-91..! I will be coming back for retirement, I can imagine the improvements that will be made between now and 2000. We love your vlogs, you have a wonderful family !!

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I wish I was here back in those years. Things have changed so much in the past few years. All for the good. I love watching old videos of Angeles City prior to Pinatubo eruption and love looking at all the old photos. Thanks for subscribing and the positive comments.

[@deltonholler479]

2020

[@deltonholler479]

Lol

[@tiggeer88]

Delton Holler I am looking for my biological father. He was station in u.s airforce clark airbase between 1986-1988. My mother met my father in 1987 and I was born in 1988. My mother name is Josephine.

[@gregbolitho9775]

thanks m8, lotsa casinos out there. never been in one in my 63 years. keep up the good work, you an yours stay safe eh!

[@wildmonkeyhunter6631]

Another cool thing is the roads on the base compared to local roads built outside. After all these years, The military roads are still in darn good shape.

[@usmgreen1]

Take a Ride up to Capas the old Navy Transmitter sight I was the Sgt of the Guard on that Base it had thousands of unmarked Graves on the base from the old Japanese army POW Camp sight and now they built a town over the old POW Camp at The Base . and moved the Memorial across the road . I use to stand on the Japanese army Barracks Foundation and over look the hole base now its a town but the old Marine Barracks still stands empty and the Navy Club still stands just go pass the Capas National Shrine about a 1/2 mile and turn Right at the RENCE Store and Bar ,would love to see the old Base .thanks for sharing your Stories

[@peterreynolds7535]

Great video, sound real good. So there is no more USAF there at all?

[@frenchiechanel64]

@ 8:24 I believe it's Mabalacat Pampanga.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

You are correct.

[@michaelkalbo7555]

Great ride .. Thanks

[@royevans7090]

Your microphone works fine even with the shields down...

[@brianwilliams3231]

nice ride i have vfr 800

[@DJlancelotlinc]

It was interesting to follow your tour using Google maps in street view.

[@JosephMyLife]

Come to Manila, I'll take you for a ride on edsa, it'll be a life experience...lol

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I will take you up on that some day. No passengers allowed when we do it. I will also make sure my life insurance is up to date. 😁😬😤

[@GenerationAsian]

If we can do it filipono style with 4 people and 3 kids and 2 chickens on one scooter.. im in.

[@JosephMyLife]

Generation Asian hahahaha

[@rderyk]

.....yeah right like you love riding in EDSA......... x-D

[@frenchiechanel64]

Lol

[@loloamerikano]

Thanks for sharing.

[@baeminecraft8462]

Is there a dudy free shop in the old airman club

[@wgreis9439]

I hope you take us to the Motor Speedway

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Next time I take a ride up in Clark I will make sure to stop by the speedway.

[@czarinamaymangulabnan9611]

cool

[@pigsasailong319]

How safe it is in the casino in Clark ... any good or bad news ..? 🤔. .. just wondering

[@JT-sv8il]

I tought your flying a jet plane in the thubnail. Cool helmet.

[@hankcoulston3968]

Its 28.15 seconds. Enjoyable

[@RichLee2088]

Are their houses to live in on Clark

[@clydeseaside345]

Nice ride Brian----now dont get down there with Ed. He'll have you out at Caloocan getting your bike wrapped in stickers and getting you a loud exhaust.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Yeah Ed is hooking that Rusi up for sure. Before you know it he will have more in custom work that what he paid for the bike...lol

[@clydeseaside345]

Lol, I look forward to seeing it in 5 years time in the hands of a local, with a sidecar attached, working the streets of Malate

[@slaterm611]

what kind of bike is that you are riding around on in the video ?

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Kawasaki Rouser 200 RS.

[@ThisisOurPhilippines]

Brian, Interesting ride! I have yet to go to Clarke, and now I know why! All those casinos around and all they want is money I don't have! The roads looked really nice though in that area. I hope they will keep them up that way. It is always amazing to see all the construction on going. They continue to build up areas, but the stuff like telecommunications continues to suffer. Hope one day soon this gets attention as well. By the way, you sounded better without the clear shield down to me. When you had that down, it did have some echo or muffled sound.

[@Thekomokoro]

Copper & Coaxial Internet lines are being phased out nationwide. Angeles City should be 100% fiber by next year. Heard that the Gov't is threatening the Telcos to up their game else foreign Providers will enter PH. Fiber starts at $30/25 mbps. Still expensive compared to other countries but way better than the current Cable internet $20/5 mbps. My street just got fiber laid out by service men last week so its certainly improving. and i should be able to upgrade soon. I live in a subdivision near Sapang bato

[@lowielucero3304]

Phil, Did they fixed up U.S. cemetery in Clark? Like the one in Manila

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I know they were doing a lot of construction work on it and I think it is done. I plan to do a video on Clark Veteran Cemetery in the near future.

[@rderyk]

......love the helmet man.......ya look like a fighter pilot........ :)

[@rderyk]

.......yeah Dinosaur Island....been there and it's cool like a mini Jurassic Park with robot dinos...... :)

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I watched some you tube videos on the place and it looks like a very cool place. It's on the list of places to go during Hannah Graces Christmas break.

[@rderyk]

.....hey Brian have ya tried the place near Dino Park El Kabayo Stables - 15:06 - (the ones with cowboy western themed buildings)...... they have horses kids can ride( they also have horses for adults if i remember right) but i forgot how much per hour..........

[@ark8950]

Nice video bro, Do the US military still fly in there

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I do know that the US military does come to Clark for some training but not like they did in the past.

[@ark8950]

thanks for the reply Brian, am just curious because history shows that the americans still control the philippines military and political movement, Just like the USA control Pine Gap in Australia,

[@johnfischer3142]

Works fine

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

thank you.

[@joban7851]

How many miles did you travel one way?

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I try to put on 25 to 30 kil. every time I go out joy ridding. Some time more and some times less.

[@wildmonkeyhunter6631]

The road is called the Clark-Mabalacat -Angeles Road. The reason why it’s not so crowded is because it is under Clark Base jurisdiction and no private trikes are allowed in it. Also all motorcycle riders must wear helmets and shoes. No barefeet or slippers/ tsinelas is allowed. The guards on the base are very strict and will not allow you on that road or on the base with no helmet or shoes.

[@RichLee2088]

That was cool

[@hankcoulston3968]

That's cool

[@garrylafferty100]

What speed limit ?

[@nycalkidnycalkid3044]

New mic works well. What type is it? Which model GoPro? We like your Vlog!

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

I really don't know the name of the mic. I bought it back in the states through E-Bay and there is no name on the mic. I only paid about $20 USD for the mic. I use a Go Pro Hero 4 silver when i'm Motovlogging. Thanks for taking the time to view the videos.

[@missouribob7850]

Nice video. The sound was okay. I like your helmet setup. You have the jet fighter pilot look as you blast off on your 200 cc Rouser. Maybe you could get a leather jacket and leather pants with a wallet on a chain. (Just kidding. Nice video.)

[@hernangilma2391]

🦖 dinosaurs

[@andrekhoury6252]

put a rabbit furr on the mic lots of wind noise

[@baeminecraft8462]

Is there a guard still there whose guard is it all of this doesn't make séance I though there is no military there

[@dogumentarytv6413]

A lot more modern then Cebu highways that's for sure , I spent all my time in the Visayas what a shithole Cebu is! Looks like subic and Clark have the benefits of being former USA military areas , Filipinos are still enjoying the infrastructure America built them

[@lowielucero3304]

If there's a large number of motorcycle group called hell angels drive on that road at night time. If they got it hit by the rocks they might knock down the fences and start a fight. The government of Pampanga should've built a wall.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

There is a wall separating the road from the homes.

[@baeminecraft8462]

Why did it close down. Don't make good sense being close to China and Korea

[@rickyusa1000]

So weird seeing a Philippines video where everyone is following the traffic laws!

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Clark is just like being back in the states. Follow the law or pay a fine or pay a C.D.C. traffic enforcer. Your choice...lol

[@thomasodetinape4180]

Jesus, at 3:46 the suv almost took you out. Came left to center. Texting 💣Then even worse 7:28!!! He came over damn😠so careless. I quit riding after 34 years. Just terrible.

[@hasannaja2583]

Men, you look like a Jet fighter

[@joban7851]

Just a concern citizen or subscriber, your cough doesn't sound good.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you for your concern. I usually start coughing and getting all stuffed up when I'm out and about. I blame it on the Trike and Jeepney exhaust. I know I should be wearing a face mask but i'm just to lazy to wear it.
