SUBIC BAY FREEPORT ZONE Comprising portions of Zambales & Bataan, it is the gateway to Zambales Originally a Spanish Naval Station, then under the settlement of the Spanish American War, it was ceded to the United States of America under the treaty of Paris in 1898. It remained a US Naval base, even after Philippine Independence in 1946 (except during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines 1941 - 1945) until March 13, 1992, when the Philippine Congress passed Republic Act 7227, known as the Bases Conversion and Development Act of 1992, in anticipation of the pullout of the US military bases in the country. Section 13 of RA 7227 created the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) to develop and manage the Freeport which provides tax and duty-free privileges and incentives to business located in the special economic zone. The area is now known as the Subic Bay Freeport Zone which is managed by SBMA. The area is almost the perfect mix of Commerce and Tourism, with a large base of manufacturing, export and import, tourism attractions, eco tourism sites and theme parks along with hotels and resorts. Tourist attractions: Hotels and Resorts Water Parks Ocean Adventure Marine Park Treetop Adventure and Zip line Beaches Sailing Para sailing Jet ski hire Jungle Evasion and Survival Training Camp (JEST) SCUBA Diving Museum of artifacts recovered from ancient ship wrecks International Cruise Ship Terminal Airport and Pilot training centers The Department if Tourism has labeled it "The # 1 tourist destination in Region III".
