My life partner and I spent our Christmas holiday 2010 in Subic and it was totally memorable for a lot of different reasons. First of all, it was to celebrate our 10th anniversary. And believe it or not, it was our first out-of-town trip that it was just the two of us – without friends and family. What even made our holiday exciting was the fact that we experienced Olongapo like a local. Usually, when we hear ‘Subic,’ posh resorts, fun water activities and popular animal sites come to mind. In our case, we stayed in a family member’s staff house, travelled around Olongapo in public transport, and went to a local beach by the roadside with an entrance fee of only Ph20! We even got a chance to visit a nearby spa for a two-hour massage, after which we were served the most delicious cup of green tea. Christmas 2010, for us, was proof that it’s not where you go and how much you spend on a holiday to make it fun and memorable. As long as you have an open mind, a spirit of adventure and of course, your loved one to exeperience everything with, you’re all set. ♥
