Thank you for posting this. I was there 83-85. I miss it. To this day I'm still trying to mimic the pork bbq on a stick. Something I have no idea how to replicate was the dried, bbq squid. The hot sauce they sprinkled on during and after bbq'ing was amazing.
I had to leave in 1978 after seven years . . . But my heart and mind are still wandering the streets of Olongapo . . . searching for what I once knew . . .
Thank you for sharing/ I was born and raised in Olongapo. Life in Olongapo were the best years of my life ('60's). My father was supervisor at the SRF until 1975.
Back in '72, Magsaysay drive was dirt! But I gotta tell ya, as an 18 year old, a few bottles of San Miguel, a little girl that had just what the dr ordered, and a ride back to the boat (usskittyhawkcva63) with a handful of monkey meat........that was livin'! Thanks for the reminder.
Best era ever U.S. sailor. Disco 70's. 'When will I see you again" by the 3 Degrees was the last song playing when I left the emerald islands. And I had the time of my life.
Crazy how modern it looks now. I didnt see any of my old handouts. Hard Rock Cafe, Metro, BJs, and the others I cant remember. The moneky meat and hot dogs are still rocking!! Made me hungry for some Baloot!
I was there in 67 just 71 I would never in a million years thought that that would turn out like it did. Wow. Sierra supper club and the magsaysay drive.
I was there in 89 and 90 looks totally different. it used to be bar after bar with. bar girls and hotels everywhere. Changed so.much since I guess the Navy left.
I was Navy back in 70's and the place seems much more diverse business wise now. More family oriented as well. I'm an old man now and no longer drink or chase girls, so the changes don't surprise or make me wish for the old days. All the better for Po town!
1987-1989 Sailor here; station dito. Drastically different from those two years I was stationed in the late 1980's. I used to sit on the balcony drinking a San Miguel bottle beer and watch the silly drunken sailors make fools of themselves on the streets late evening into early mornings. The streets then were notorious for nutty jeepney drivers and taxi drivers with no regard to stopping for pedestrians.
I was born in Olongapo City, it’s the place where i grew up, the the part of the city feaured in this video is where i live as an adult while i’m working in Juken Sangyo inside sbfz, i left town in search of a better life here in Canada, it’s been three years since the last time i eat my dinner in Pag-asa market food court. i miss Olongapo city in a way, i miss the simple life, i hope i can go on vacation next year.
I was here in 90-91 when in the military. I live here now. Drastically different. You want to party and do the old things you need to go to Baretto or just take a ride to Angeles City. Other than that Magsaysay Ave and Olongapo in general really only has a nightlife for the locals. Nothing here is really going to impress you anymore when it comes to partying. You might feel nostalgic the first few days of being here but you'll quickly realize this isn't the same Olongapo of years back.
Goldilocks! My wife was born there and Tatay and Lolo both worked at the base. Pretty run down when I first went there in 96 but it is a lot nicer today. Lots of good live music in that whole Subic area. FYI our family maintains the Jesus for the resurrection procession. Lolo and Lola have both passed but their son, our uncle still keeps that tradition alive. Few members of our family live there any longer. They live in Pampanga and Metro Manila mostly. Every time we visit we make our way to that area.
I was there twice in 86' and 87' . Watching this, i like to think the money i spent on San Miguel helped to pave the roads because the sweet people must have been happy when that happened.
I was born there in 83, left to America (Guam) in 89. I'm thinking WHAT IF i never became a US citizen, I can only imagine how my life would be like if i never left.
@@leeshepherdtrading Was good, a little limited in night life. But if you go to Olongapo City, you will see more. Im a vegan so was focusing on vegan eateries. If you are in Olongpo, visit Dans Helm Bar (Live entertainment music/singing). Great place for the family. Great people working there. Owners the best. Treated like family. Go and visit them.
@@leeshepherdtrading Was a little limited near SM downdown, but I was looking for vegan eateries. Olongapo City would be better. There is a bar called Dans Helm in Olongapo, not far from SM Downtown (near the police station). Great place, people owners. Treat you like family. Live bands, great for the family. You will love it.
@@ovacik1 Sounds for me. I love a live band and a more personal cosy experience. I’ve been to Makati twice before but due to cash limitations I’m looking for somewhere more value for money.
@@leeshepherdtrading Olongapo is the place, decent price, great bar, live music, fantastic people working there as well as the owners. Family ordinated, but loud. I usually stay in the Kong Hotel, 5mins walk to the bar, 10 ish to SM Downtown, also a coffee shop, Macdonalds & Jolliybees near by. Or you can go round the corner and get cheap food, kinda bars roun d the back of Kong Hotel.
Anyone remembered the Airport Club back in 70s? That was a nice blub, lots of bunnies. Banaue was also a nice club. Everything I see here is so much different from when I was there almost a half century ago.
We were there in the USMC in 1984 when Marcos was about to be toppled and flee to Hawaii. Our radio unit, based in Okinawa, was doing an exercise at Cubi Point NAS. There were guards at the doors of each club with submachine guns locked & cocked. We were undeterred. Beer was $.20 per bottle of excellent San Miguel lager. Joints were $.25, and so on.
Last time there 2008, went with a phillipino family street kid came up dirty in the day, joked at pizza place I would give 5$ to anyone to give him a bath, they did, so me and my phil ipino family friend took him shopping new clothes and he wanted swim goggles, they told us the parents would sell them,said Ya but today is his day.
The musicians there in 1972 played as good as Santana. I well remember how good they played," I aint got nobody I can depend on !" Dirt streets then. Still increadble music.
I was just wondering if it’s hard for a 65-year-old to find a job it is locations or just knowing somebody that will hire you if you wanted to move there with a limited income and do a little better while you’re there possibly live there forever if anybody knows let me know appreciate it aloha
Yea there's nobody making money there anymore. Looks like too many businesses and not enough customers with money to me. You invest there and you might as well throw your money in the garbage. All the foreign gang money has left the country. The Gordon family has lost all their influence and their their pay to play partners around Asia have taken their money elsewhere. Just a matter of time before this place dries up once and for all.
Visited Olangapo many times in the 60's after doing gunfire support on my Destroyers Tin Cans. We called it the Arm Pit of the World w/out deodorant. 😂

Sierra club in the 70's ROCKED!
Lots of changes from the 60's, but the memories still remain.. Watching from New Zealand.
I was with the Seventh Fleet USS Midway 83-89 🇺🇸 It changes a lot from the 80s. But I'm fixing to move there for a couple years. I just retired
Memories of what exactly? Sketchball

Go back out. Book that ticket now or forever hold your breath.
you mean monkey on a stick

Thanks for the memories. Was there pretty much every deployment. We always make it back drunk walking from Magsaysay ave to the gate 😂
I was there in 67 just 71 I would never in a million years thought that that would turn out like it did. Wow. Sierra supper club and the magsaysay drive.
Wow, the streets was very clean and organized. Thanks to the mayor and the rest of the staffs .
I was there back in 1975 . I was in the service the ucmc . A lot of things have changed
You're telling me... I was there in 91 us navy it was nothing like this ... Alot has changed
Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏
I was there in 89 and 90 looks totally different. it used to be bar after bar with. bar girls and hotels everywhere. Changed so.much since I guess the Navy left.
I remember the river coming off the base
We called it shIT river

Sure has greatly changed from my WESTPACs in 63, 67, 77, 79, and 83. CWO4 USN Ret.
Slims bar....was the best.....and that awesome street BBQ is called monkey on a stick😅
i love olongapo.....
I spent a lot of time there in the early 80s. Never would have thought that places grown like that. Don't even recognize it

Sell your house and retire there on your pension perhaps?
