This will be the first comment, great video tour of Magsaysay. I used to be stationed at SRF Subic Bay, I was stationed there from November 20, 1978 to March 30, 1981. It was the very best tour of duty I ever had when I was in the Navy. I met my late wife of 31 years on January 16, 1975. It was my third visit to Olongapo City on my very first Westpac. I was stationed aboard the USS Blue Ridge LCC-19 which was out of San Diego then. Shortly after I got stationed at SRF Subic Bay, I immediately submitted my request to marry my late wife. Being stationed there the entire Process took only 4 months. On April 5, 1979 my late wife & I got married at City Hall, The Honorable Judge Jose L. Uy married us. During my 31 years of marriage, we had 3 children. My late wife passed away on March 6, 2010 in St. Joseph's Hospital in Tucson, AZ.

I was a senior petty officer aboard USS HAROLD D.HOLT FF- 1077 when I first visited olongapo in 1987 to 1992 and the USS TARAWA- LHA 1. Olongapo was a sailors "died and went to heaven port visit"-during the gulf war's bipolar times. It was an incredible mixture of high adventure, political intrigue and romance where the warmest friendliest people of the Philippines met a visitor there with open arms. Visits to Olongapo&Barrio , to name a few,left a memory on your brain that will remain, and the reason many a sailor married and or came back and retired in this euphoric "Shangri-la".This place will make a young man old, and a old man young! After 40 years, I still remember her name. Even after Mt pinitubu destroyed this town while I was there-these hardy people recovered very well. I give this port visit a 5 star review ....

I was there in 1971 and '72, stationed aboard the USS Tripoli (LPH 10) helicopter carrier. You could hear the bands playing in the clubs, as you walked down the street. They played "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va," by Santana a lot, and "Color My World," by Chicago. One Club had a girl who could sing "Piece of My Heart," just like Janis Joplin. Fun times!✌🙂🎸

I was there several times during the '79-'80 and '81-'82 WestPacs with VA-97 on the U.S.S Coral Sea. If I live to be 110 I'll still look back on that as the best time of my life. I was married there in '82 and divorced in '85, lol. I can laugh about it now. I feel privileged to have been able to see it when it was a fleet town.

I was an aviation electrician for VAW-113 which was aboard the USS Coral Sea at the time. I was on the same WestPac cruises as you 79-80 and 81-82. 102 days in the Persian Gulf and they gave our beer to the Nimitz on the first cruise. I got my Shellback Certificate on the second cruise. A-7 lost a tail hook, an A-6 had a cold cat shot and the pilot and copilot ejected right after takeoff, A-6 crashing and sinking. On the second cruise a guy that a couple of master at arms brought up for the beer day on the second cruise jumped off the fantail while he was handcuffed while we were all watching on the flight deck. A helicopter went and got him. We had a band from Diego Garcia out at sea once... good times...

After the bases left, my cousin stopped at an intersection, not to heed the "Stop" sign but to check on the convoy behind him, then proceeded. The convoy blew through the sign and all got pulled over. :)

Was there on and off in 1972 from the USS St. Louis LKA 116. How it has changed. I remember specific things that happened in various locations along Magsaysay. If the car in the video had turned left instead of right you would be in an area that was called “the jungle” when I was there. I hung out there a lot. Most sailors didn’t go there and stayed along the main drag. Lots of memories. Seems like it was another dimension now.

I came to Olongapo in 1966 after high school in San Pablo, Laguna with my band at the brand new Rainbow Club on Rizal Ave, half way down towards the Ulo ng Apo rotonda.. Back then a newbie to Olongapo would arrive by Victory bus at their bus terminal a few meters from the rotonda head. From here you would take a jeepney to Magsaysay Drive, the main business street, where sailors and locals meet... To a new sailor, this video @ 0:07 would be his first view of Olongapo after passing through and out of the base's main gate through the bridge over the "shit river" as the video narrator calls it..but it's a drainage channel from Sta Rita River... After the bridge in 1966, where that SM building yellow wall is would be rows of Money Exchanges and shops and sailors in white and girl barkers.... My four-year stay in Olongapo consisted of playing in different clubs on Magsaysay Drive and Rizal Avenue and lasted until 1970 when we were recruited to go to Okinawa.. We were doing regular gigs at the D'Lovers Club, on the second floor of the Sierra Club building. But on weekends, we played at the Sky Club on Cubi Point, great club, greatest unlimited free coffee in the world, and pretty in-house girl entertainers for the customers...We were the False Morality band and we had two lady singers, Elvie and Lita Navia, they were sisters...they sang great Supremes songs... So, say hi if you came across us in Olongapo or Sky Club, maybe the Teen Club too... In Nov 23, 1973 I joined the US Air Force until 1997.. Now I'm back where I started in 1966, San Pablo City, Laguna.. Come see our sights, we have Seven Lakes all within our city...

Slims was near T's Tavern on Gordon I believe. 168 Burger used to be not far from the corner of Gordon St. I believe I saw Kongs restaurant still there next to the Casino. Across from the police station was the Brown Fox. It burned down a couple times. It used to be next to the police station. I was there at the Midway Hanger a couple times in the 80's. Then I was out of NAF Atsugi. Spent a lot of time there. Thank you for the video.

I was there in July 1980. And again in 1981. I stayed in a hotel on the main drag, I think it was called the Victoria. I seem to recall that my hotel bill was around $45-black market rates. There were two rates of exchange, the low official rate, and the much better off market rate which was far superior than the official rate. The non official exchange places were done out in the open and they weren't much of a secret. Typically they were the same places as the official places. Only suckers exchanged at the "official" rate. That $45 got me about five days. I was non military---a civilian, but a traveling companion of mine had a brother in the navy who was married to a woman from one of the other islands but was living there in Olongapo. The locals noted that my hair was a little longer than the proscribed military length plus with a short beard they new I was a tourist. Being perceived as a tourist had its advantages. The local women THOUGHT you had more money than you did. When I was there in 1981 there were no big ships in town so it seemed I had the whole town to myself. I was a real hot and prized commodity when business wasn't booming for the locals. You stayed up all night at the bars and you slept all day. At least you TRIED to sleep. In July 1980 the sheets in my hotel must have had a thread count of only 5 or something. You could easily see through it. These fitted sheets would never stay on the bed because they clung to your body in the extreme humanity there. The room had no A/C, but it had this oscillating ceiling fan. The fan would point/blow to YOU only for a few seconds then it pointed its aim to other areas around the room before it came back to blow on you again. Frustrated I would sometimes get on all fours in the bed and try to follow the fan as it moved around the room so I could keep air on me at all time. The switch to keep it fixed in place didn't work. If anything in the room didn't work----it didn't work. During that summer of 1980 the city had several brownouts during the day, some were planned and some were not, so you went through long periods of just having to endure the humidity and wait for night. The humidity was always there----it rained at some time of the day every day-----though it was usually brief. Some of the women who worked at the hotel slept in the lobby and on the landings by the stairwell. To get to your room you had to step over people. Since they were in the interior they got no breezes, but then again maybe they were used to it. I drank no local water, but San Miguel instead. I still drink San Miguel all these years later living in Texas. I ate at a place call the People's Cafe, Shakey's Pizza including "mojos" (big thickly rounded cut fried breaded potatoes) and Pizza Hut. I passed on eating the balut---the partially developed bird embryo still in the egg shell. I probably should have tried it, so many people on the long distance buses were eating it. In the July nights of 1980 if you went bar-hopping you could tell when the bars were opening because of one particular song that summer------"Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. EVERY bar, I mean EVERY bar and business was playing that song, over and over and over. You heard it for the full length of the main street. I had never heard it in the states at that time, we all laughed about it and thought it was the national anthem. It didn't let up either. When I took the California bus back to Manila (via the cool and very pleasant Baguio then Angles City) it was blaring there as well. The people in Manila seem to act strange if you told them you had been in Olongapo. If you mentioned the city they no longer had a sunny disposition. Like you should be shamed. It was if you were this great sinner coming from Sodom and Gomorrah. Maybe some didn't want to be reminded of the U.S. military presence in the P I (despite receiving billions of dollars to set up base there). I don't know, but I started telling people I had been in Baguio instead of Olongapo which was also true. Man those days were fun in THAT place, Olongapo. When I told people at home (Houston at that time) about it they thought I was making it all up. I could imagine a young sailor's first time away from home and being there he would really freak out and think he was truly dreaming in some fantasy land. I don't recognize much of it now. It looks more modern, and I thought once the base was gone it would deteriorate. I'm very glad to see that it not only has held up but looks like it is still vibrant and striving. Ah the memories!

Can't remember the bar. (Towards the round about) Steady Bar Fine on "Juliet". She was amazing. I was 22 she was a hot 32. Handled all my money when I was in Port. She made sure I didn't get ripped off or butterflied. Gave her $500 when I left in 1986. She wouldn't take it. Left it in her house. Very special place that was. Anyone remember Peso Jimmy's? Coldest beer in the PO. Jimmy would monitor the fridge. Every magoo had slush in it. No girls worked for him. USS Tarawa 1986 Semper Fi

First went to Olongapo/ Subic Bay 1975-1976 with HMM-165. We crossed deck from the USS Okinawa to the USS New Orleans. When off ship we stayed at Cubi Point. As a 18-19 year old Marine it was like the Disney Land of Sin!!! Too much partying and chasing the women!!! Spoiled me for life!!! LOL!!! My favorite place to eat was The People's Café by the traffic circle. I think that has long gone. I hung out with a Navy guy who I think ended up going back and marrying one of the girls that worked there. Went back in 1980 with VMA-542. Still a wild place but the change was starting. People never believe the stories I tell them of the women grabbing you to go home before Curfew!!!

Almost want to cry, what did they do too Olongapo! We pulled in there in 1988. That casino he said burned down was the day we pulled into Subic. Oh what today's sailors are missing!

When I come visit the Philippines I really want to come to Olongapo/Subic and have a walk through down memory lane. This video reinvigorate such fond memories as a young kid. So much has changed. I feel like it had gotten worse and crowded. Whatever happened to the round about? The bust was such an iconic symbol of the city. This was home before moving to California. My mom used to managed a club on the strip of Magsaysay near the canon statue by the old barbershop!

There was a casino that burned down. I watched it burn from a bar from across the street. Shout out to the "Florida" club. There was another club on the opposite side of the street just before the round about.. can't remember what it was.
