OLONGAPO - A DESTINY

[tomt6040]

Home! This video made me very homesick. But, next year I will be starting back to the Philippines. As yeomanjake says Olongapo has grown up, it looks as if things are prospering. Olongapo deserves to prosper - AIM HIGH OLONGAPO

[yeomanjake]

The city has grown to be a *REAL* city now. When I was there in 1963, it was a line of bars and clubs, and the walk across the Sh*t River was a memory maker. Glad to see that Po City has become a modern day miracle... a nice place to go to, and yes, makes me want to return back to the P.I. again. - Jake, visitor aboard the USS Hancock CVA-19, '63 at Subic Bay, Cubi Point - makes me wonder what they have done to Grande Island??

[titopogi123]

grew up there,,learn everything i know... left someone that very close to me and specially to my heart...i hope when i come back she still be there for me..no names you know who you are.....forever ....

[angelalma09]

[Edmar1117]

[Coolybanana]

Thanks for the clip bro. Gapoboy here too. This was my playground back in the days. I was there last year but man feels like it was forever ago. Thanks for the post again. You brought smile to this lone wolf's face tonight hehehe.

[TheOnin25]

[westrak100]

Nakaka mizzz talaga ang Zambales!!!

[rahziad]

wow! dami na t2 watch ng vid mo ahh.....

[sammythenarutogirl]

i miss my hometown.:(

[TheTwister398]

beeeen therrrrrrrrr arrrrrghhh.mate.mariposa corner bar open in 1986.

[Thrillcekr]

Been there many times. That town used to be so rowdy. The last time I was there, unfortunately, was to help clean up the mess after Mt. Pinatubo erupted. What a disaster that was. I see that the town has done a very nice job of recovering from that tragedy.

[reruddock]

omg, what memories. I was a US Marine stationed there from 1989 to 1991. That "mountain in subic with radar tower" that was alluded to @ 0:25 is actually Mt. Santa Rita and I stood guard there plenty of times; one of the posts is actually on the very top of that radar tower, with the radar disk spinning 2 extra stories above you... awesome vid

[lensimpact911]

@reruddock ...thanks for appreciating my vid.. I really emphasized on it that high landmark cuz I know that many US servicemen who were stationed here may recall their good old days at Subic.....much better if you could visit here as a tourist. So many things have changed since 1991. Subic naval base, now a freeport and named SBMA is curently a commercial, industrial and major tourist destination in the Philippines.

[deviousMonk]

malinis pala sa olangapo.

[lensimpact911]

@deviousMonk ...yup

[ElPapasanga]

I was here in '83...miss it still and miss the girl I fell in love with...I really want to immigrate to the Filipines...What is the job market like there?

[lensimpact911]

@ElPapasanga..... jobmarket is good as per your qualificaion..thanks

[TheRenegadeAssassin]

The video never made to the left turn to go to Sta. Rita and Pepsi. LOL... I have a place right up the road in Old Cabalan.

[lensimpact911]

@TheRenegadeAssassin ..sorry, my battery run out. next time I'll upload a longer vid for all the major throufares in Olongapo...thanks for watching

[TheRenegadeAssassin]

@lensimpact911 Ok lang, ingat!!!!!!

[william93828]

[lensimpact911]

@william93828 ....sana nga para makita mo ulit ang Olongapo

[joeyvegas01]

I used to walk that route your video took and I was amazed how much things changed and stayed the same. I went to Nellie E. Brown Elementary School from 5th and 6th grade. That was '74-'77. Live in Happy Valley Apt., where that new JollieBee across the palengke. I love that city, went back in 2004 and 2006. Last year tried but didnt make it to the city coz of Typoon Ondoy. Went to Baloy Beach but the water was too rough, just made the best of the trip. Hope I can make it this year....THANKS!!!

[lensimpact911]

@joeyvegas01 ...Nellie E. Brown Elementary School is a very beautiful school now. Nice Townhouses are now being built near Happy Valley.... hope you could come back to Olongapo.

[gbldivmrk]

@joeyvegas01 IN 77-79 we lived across the street from Nellie Brown school. Sponsored a youth basketball team, that won the city champinionship in 78. Always wonder what became of those young men.

[ocnhs73]

' Tol, I like your video run, so much change about and around Gapo since my teenage years.

My regret was too short, our house was about to be on the scene when it cut out...my family lived just a few feet away when the video stop. I miss Gapo so much, I wish to bring my family soon.

[lensimpact911]

[XXRenegadePandaXX]

[maryjezz]

AIM HIGH OLONGAPO!

[lensimpact911]

Hurray!!! for Olongapo!!

[lensimpact911]

Olongapo City has a potential to be a great metropolis, especially now that a new world-class expressway was completed traversing Subic Bay to Tarlac via the former Clark Air Base. Our city is one of the few highly-urbanized cities in Philippines.

[illippines]

That is my City!!!

[lensimpact911]

great!

[lensimpact911]

Great changes happened for the past 25 yrs. US Naval Base at Subic had been turned into a giant freeport offering as a great tourist destination and a big commercial and industrial hub in southeast Asia. You can be assured that entertainment here is still to the max. and your favorite cocktails are still available, The rock clubs that you mentioned are not existent already. Better rock clubs cater to the needs of tourists. Meanwhile, the Plain White is not playing around here anymore.

[mrexciting64]

Great video to watch and bring back many memories. Decent quality video with music that would take me back to the 80's. I have not been there since '84 but would love to find someone who would love to make the trip back over with me. I'm sure there are some changes in the last 25 years. I guess I would be asking too much if 100% Rock and Apple Rock were still there? What rock clubs are there now if any? Do they still make my favorite cocktail over there? Remember the band Plain White? 83-84

[jhaden002]

i want to go back in my hometown!!

[lensimpact911]

Welcome home!

[xestrip08]

memories returned when i watched this video. i miss my hometown so much....i'm out of the country but i'll be coming home in gapo soon....very soon.

[lensimpact911]

You are always welcome in our hometown.

[charlleyturtle]

I have not been there in 17 years. It has taken me so long to find something like this. I wanted to see the whole Magsaysay scene for such of a long time. I really appreciate this.I will there soon to see it in person. I miss it over there so much.

[lensimpact911]

thanks for appreciating my video. I wish you could go home to gapo soon.

[cutechel95]
