Subic Bay
Subic Bay is a bay on the west coast of the island of Luzon in the Philippines, about northwest of Manila Bay. An extension of the South China Sea, its shores were formerly the site of a major United States Navy facility, U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay, now an industrial and commercial area known as the Subic Bay Freeport Zone under the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority. Today, water as well as the towns and establishments surrounding the bay are collectively known as Subic Bay. This includes the former naval base, Hanjin shipyard Subic, Hanjin shipyard, Olongapo city, the municipal town of Subic, Zambales, Subic, and the erstwhile US defense housing areas of Binictican and Kalayan housing, up to Morong, Bataan.

Subic, Zambales
Subic, officially the Municipality of Subic (; , Kapampangan: ''Balen ning Subic''), is a municipality in the province of Zambales, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 111,912 people. Etymology The native Zambales inhabitants called the area ''Hubek'', which means "head of a plough"; Spanish missionary priests mispronounced the name as ''Subiq''. By the time of the American occupation, "Subiq" was mispronounced as ''Subig''. Eventually, the name reverted to "Subiq", but the letter 'q' was replaced with 'c'. History Spanish colonial era In 1572, Juan de Salcedo, the Mexico-born Spanish conquistador and grandson of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, founded Zambales during his exploration of northern Luzon..
