I want to go back to the PI 👍🤗‼

63 now. I have a poor memory but I remember a Shakeys Pizza. It was late 1980 I believe. I wish I could relive my time there. Wonderful people and so much fun.

Memories of olongapo you are not forgotten

Was on the USS Midway 1981-1984. Many fond memories of Subic Bay. Especially Kong's

Was there in 1972 USS Richard S Edward's DD 950 as a SN and 1986 USS Paul F Foster DD 964 as a Chief Petty Officer love it both times. Brings back a lot of memories.

ahhhh the 80s.....lots of unforgettable memories. i wish i have time machine to re visit the old olongapo.

Olongapo City sure has changed a lot since I was last there in November of 1986 on my final Westpac aboard the USS Tarawa LHA-1. My very first time I was in Olongapo City was on Tuesday, November 26, 1974 when I was stationed aboard the USS Blue Ridge LCC-19. I met my late wife of 31 Years of marriage on January 16, 1975 during my third time In Olongapo City on my very first Westpac. I got stationed at SRF Subic Bay, I was stationed there from November 20, 1978 to March 30, 1981. SRF Subic Bay was the very best Duty stationed I served at in the Navy. My late wife & I got married April 5, 1979, we had 3 children during our 31 years of marriage. My late wife passed away March 6, 2010. I am Planning to return back to the Philippines within the next 4 years & will live out my life there as my heart is in the Philippines.

Whoever you are who posted this video... i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart... Olongapo City is my favorite place...it made me a true person... how i wish i have the power and authority to turn the time back..... thank you... it really hit me hard.....

i heard some of the best copy bands in the clubs there. WestPac 74 USS Kittyhawk

Thanks for the memories....As a 16 y.o. military dependant living at Subic in 59-60, can fondly recall we teens adventures around Olongapo..best times of our lives we all still recall at school reunions over the years. Thanks again

Was on a 85 Westpac Cruise with the USS Reid (FFG-30) out of San Diego, CA. when I first visited Subic Bay. It was an awesome liberty call that I will never forget. Now I am close to retiring from my civilian profession. I am really thinking about becoming an expat and retiring there. The exchange rate is insane!

Lived there 1969-1971. Was a trying time with the Viet Nam conflict. I remember Olongapo City quite well. I was young and viewed it as an adventure. Came to love the people. "Hey Joe, gimme me peso". ....such a familiar litany.

Whoever you are who posted this video... i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart... Olongapo City is my favorite place and my hometown...it made me a true person... i don't care what they about Olongapo... there is no place in Philippines like Olongapo.... how i wish i have the power and authority to turn the time back..... thank you... it really hit me hard.....

well here i am 25 years later and still dreaming of those happy days, rock music in a downpour while time stood still. I was very happy there, probably the most so. Being far far away now it has an almost paradise fantasy feel. But when I am feeling blue I just think of the PI and escaping to that place in time and it makes me feel better, every time. Someday I will return.

We did not abandon the Phils we were asked to leave

Westpac 1973/74. Immature naïve 19 year old sailor.....time of my life, great memories

Subic Bay and Olongapo City are synonymous, one of my best Liberty port. I will never forget the city and the experiences. My first deployment was with the USS FORT MARION LSD 22 in 1965 and Made 3 more after that and my last with the USS PRAIRIE AD 15. What great memories. I miss those days being young and adventurous. If I could only turn back time.......

Sarap bumalik sa pagkabata. Pinapanuod ko to naiiyak ako. Mas gusto ko nlng bumalik ung dati na Wala pang ganung iniisip na problema. 😢😢

Was there in 1972/73 aboard the USS Enterprise CVAN 65 and again in 1975/76 aboard the USS Oriskany CV-34. V-2 Div A/G. Loved my experiences in Olongapo and the Provinces. Never to be forgotten. A time lost to history.

Salamat sa memories. I was born in the P.I. My Father retired there after 23 years in the U.S navy. I left the P.I. in 85. I sure miss Olongapo. I moved to San Diego. now in Washington State. Salamat.

This is a GREAT VIDEO !!! I served on the Midway from '82 thru 86 and spent LOTS of time here. many friends and great memories. Thank you so much !!!

Im a filipino and i lived in olongapo and now olongapo is a great city to be honest we have the malls,big house's,big boats and more

Thank you for a very nice video of memeories. In 1965, I first went to Olongapo while serving in the U.S. Marines at Subic Bay. By 1975, I had visited Olongapo dozens of times. I love this city, the people and the Phillipines as a whole. The people here have manage to find a way to bounced back from one event after another. The resiliency of the people here have always moved me since day one. I plan to return to Olongapo in January. Salamat for the memories. Muahhhh.

I'm a Gapo Boy :) born in Zambales...brings back good childhood memories. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! Thank you! Watching it took me back to "long ago and far away"! WestPac in '71 and again in '72. USS Enterprise CVAN-65. Good times!

Was there from 1963 to 1966. Dirt street. Wooden side walk. Hung out mostly in the nautilus bar. Great memories there. Would b nice to turn the clock back. Loved it.

I miss Olongapo, it was the good old days! Thank you for uploading this video it makes me feel so sad now I’m living here in Japan but was planning to go back PINAS when I retire.

Great memories for me back in 1991 onboard the USS Jarrett FFG-33. I even saw the Brown Fox Bar where I met a great gal and then lost her. Thanks for sharing...

I would like to see these videos because of background music and melodious songs. Very soothing to heart and mind. I stayed in Manila for 15 days for trying at Asian Institute of Management. I used to go to Landmark mall. I enjoyed my training and stay.

Sure do miss Olongapo - maybe have to go back and stay!

Such a great video I was stationed here in 1985 I remember the " Chatterbox Restaurant" and the "Brown Fox Bar" I was also just there in May of 2014 it was great to return there and see how much things have changed I will always love Olongapo City.

Thank you, given me so much joy to see beautiful Olongapo once more, very well presented.

I'm so homesick!!!! There's no place like home. How i wish its yesterday once more...

I miss going to the Solid Gold Club (from 1983 to 86), sit down with a San Magoo, hangin out with my girl Rea Valano, and jamming to the BEST stereo system in Olongapo. Does anyone agree with me about Solid Gold's music system??? Awesome times. Rea, where are you? I miss you. Thanks for uploading this...

great memories of my hometown during the 80s and 90s of my life,----

Thanks for the memories, I was in Olongapo many times between 1971-72. Hope you people are doing well these days.

Salamat s Olongapo maraming babaeng nakarating dito s America, maraming babaeng galing s club ay nandito nagkakalat s America.

I was there from 1987-90& then after desert storm in 91. Sure had a great time

Wow... dto aq pinanganak.. iloveyou Olongapo :)

Thank you. I was 8 years old when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. I remember the ashes had tiny crystals in them and I was tasked to collect them for my mother to sell. I remember the APO head statue vividly. I dont remember any of the buildings because i didn't know how to read or speak english yet, but thanks for the memories.

USS Enterprise CVAN-65 1975 and 1976, Best times of my life.....

Here it is, 2022.. Looking at these, I have seen the changes.. I was a 17 year old boy, in the Navy, back in 1972.. That was my first Christmas away from home.. I almost went back.. But life has other plans.. I miss the times and wonderful people..

😢😢wow ganito pala ang olongapo sana pinanganak nalang ako ng 90s 😢😢 (nakatira po ako sa olongapo 😢😢)

Oh olongapo,i met my 2nd ship uss lasalle agf-3 in 1974 and was there about eight weeks.I had just turned 18,Need i say more

Wow ... all these pics. Then I see that Firebird! Then Mt. Pinatubo blowing!!!!

napaganda ng vidio na nagalagay ako ay diga america sana ay maka visit ako minsay mang lang dito ay mahirat ding lagi kang mag trabaho everyday thank you again for your vidio at list nakita korin lugar na hindi kupa nakikita for along time.

salamat sa nag upload. meron ako lola sa santa rita at gordon hieghts. si lola adelina lo[pez demesa. sa kanila ako nakitulog kasama ko lolo ko na kapatid nya,noong kumuha ko ng examination para sa u.s.navy. 1983.

I deployed on the USS Tarawa LHA-1 in 1986 as a corpsman with the USMC & it was my first visit to Olongapo but unfortunately I lost all of my pictures so finding videos from that time of my life makes me real happy! Now I can show family and friends what the area looked like instead of just trying to tell them about it, like a lot of others my sea story's tend to blur as time passes so videos like this really helps me remember specifics! Also if my memory is correct the Marines I was attached to went to the field to patrol the area outside of the base when the Marcos government fell and Marshal Law was enacted, I remember being restricted to the base for our Liberty but thankfully it didn't last too long! I'd love to find a video that was taken during that deployment but I've had no luck yet, I was on the Fort Fisher LSD-40 in 1990 for my second westpac and I don't have pictures or videos of that time either so I periodically search for both deployments but no luck yet so if anyone has suggestions for where to look me would be greatly appreciated!

The last time I was there in March of 1984, for ship repairs on the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63, after a collision with a Soviet Union (Russian) submarine. One of the submarine's propeller blade is mounted on the carrier pier at Subic Bay Naval station. I was assigned to HS-2 aboard the Kitty Hawk and CVW-2.

A lot of memories there. i was sent from Atsugi, Japan for TAD in our Detachment COMFAIRWESTPAC, Cubi Point 73-74 and stationed at NAS Cubi Point, Supply Department 76-79. Also attended maintenance schooling four times in 83, 84, & 85 there when i was stationed at AIMD, Kadena, Okinawa, Japan

station dito !!! seems like million years ago ,,, wouldn't change a thing !!

Memory lane, was on the USS Okinawa (LPH-3) from 83-86. Olongapo was a port I always looked forword to. I liked a little place off the "beatin path" called the Bamboo Grove, there was a little gal working there that looked just like Pat Benatar, after 43 days at sea and a few San Miguel's, I was in love!!!!! Would love to visit OC one more time before I die,m maybe, just maybe...............

West-Pac 79/80 and tad for awhile Hung out in the Harlem club in the jungle. Dj'd in some clubs there too. 24 hour block party till martial law kicked in lol

I was there 72-73 aboard the USS Ponchatoula. It was funny all the girls knew when we would be back in port before we knew. Loved that place.

Mahal kita Concertia Delos Santos! Jim.

Namimiss ko ang dating Olongapo. :)

those were the best memories of a great sailor

olongapo ROCK city back in the days

What year did they pave Magsaysay street, I was there in 72..... all dirt! For want to be young again with 20 dollars, pack of Salems and a Hershey Bar in my pocket!!! TomTom was my favorite dive!

I was born there in Olongapo City in 1959 and make me sad to see it now last time I was there in 1972

I grew up on those streets.

Aba andyan p c daddy daddy😊😊😊😊

miss ko na ang olonggapo!!!

I saw vias. That was the best. Tacos with banana Ketchup. If I remember right via was married to Richard Gordon which is the name of the street and he is a long time senator now and running for president now. And he was chairman of SBMA before too. I've lived in Southern Philippines for a long time now but I still have a home in olongapo. It's just weird how much that place has changed. I plan to go back for another visit this year.

born in Pagasa O.C. near Saulog bus sta .outside main gate, my old folks worked at base 70-90s, used to beg coins from GI.big part of my life and growing up
