context_page_description: Subic Special Economic and Freeport Zone, which is known simply as Subic Bay or Subic is a special economic zone and freeport area covering portions of Olongapo City and the towns of Subic in Zambales and Morong and Hermosa in Bataan. The relatively developed and fenced area is called the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.
  The site of the economic zone was formerly the location of the U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay. The economic zone is operated and managed by the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority. The harbor faces the Zambales Mountain Range to the west and the Subic Bay opening to the South China Sea.
context_section_description: In addition to commercial use, Subic Bay is also a popular destination for weekend visitors from Metro Manila. Attractions include several beaches, an underwater aquarium, jungle survival tours, and duty-free shopping centers.
  Destinations frequented by tourists in Subic includes eco-tourism theme parks, the Ocean Adventure,, Zoobic Safari, and the Pamulaklakin Nature Park which is home to the indigenous 
  Aetas who once trained the U.S. Navy in jungle survival tactics.
  Subic International Raceway (SIR), the Philippines' first purpose-built motorsports venue, was opened in 1994 and situated near Subic Bay International Airport. It was established by local racing champion, Pocholo Ramirez, and his family. SIR was host to international racing events, such as the Asian Festival of Speed, Asian Formula 2000 and the Asian Formula Three Championship. It also hosted local races, such as the Philippine Touring Car Championship, Run What You Brung (RWYB) and Circuit Showdown. The racetrack ceased operations in 2010 after the end of its lease.
