The Clark Freeport Zone, located next-door to Angeles City, Pampanga, in Central Luzon, is loaded with tourist spots and business opportunity. Formerly known as the Clark Special Economic Zone, this facility covers a massive 28,000 hectares of infrastructure formerly constructed by the United States in foregone days when the U.S. maintained a significant military presence in the Philippines; it was then known as Clark Air Base – the largest US air force facility outside of their country.

Comments

  • Pic is former gate (pre-Pinatubo 1991)
  • Lore has it that the citizens of Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga got the better of Clark Air Base security by intruding and getting chased by huge and healthy German shepherd dogs, which in turn were trapped and enjoyed as free asuzena by the locals. Everybody must be a winner even if confronted by an avowed and "smart Superpower".
