Subic Bay

SUBIC BAY METROPOLITAN AUTHORITY

Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, or SBMA, was created under Republic Act 7227 in 1992 to govern and manage the first Economic and Freeport zone in the Philippines, the Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ), popularly known as Subic Bay.

SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES

Subic Bay is a strategic regional gateway to Asia's biggest markets with an international airport and one of the technologically advanced container and passenger port terminals with 15 operational wharves. Subic Bay provides unparalleled access to regional trade routes, making it an ideal home and turnaround port for cruise ships. This, combined with a tax-exempt environment and world-class infrastructure, makes the Freeport an attractive proposition for investors.

It also boasts a highly skilled workforce and a commitment to sustainable practices. Investors are drawn by the chance for profit and the opportunity to be part of a progressive and environmentally conscious business community. This former US Naval Base in the Philippines is now home to various tourist attractions, from theme parks with activities for each family member to eco-centered activities like jungle survival, birdwatching, and shipwreck diving. Subic Bay also boasts both luxurious and budget-friendly hotels and resorts, with restaurants offering local & international cuisines.

Subic Bay continues to thrive as a premier tourism destination where visitors and tourists alike can enjoy their vacation time without any worry. Safety measures and protocols are strictly implemented in all areas of the Freeport, and the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), with its stakeholders, has adopted the technological practices that make everyday life in Subic Bay safer and a lot more convenient.

With so much to offer, Subic Bay is hailed as one of the Top 5 Best destinations in the entirety of the Philippines (together with the Zambales province) for 2021 by the Department of Tourism and is the most-visited destination in Central Luzon for 2023. A place with a wide array of offerings, a destination that upholds the Filipino Brand of Service, and people whose culture is centered on discipline and "malasakit" (concern), it is no wonder that Subic Bay truly is FUN-tastic.
