Abstract: | Philippines hopes to turn Subic into tourist paradise. Where can you walk out of a five-star hotel suite into a tropical rainforest wild enough to have been a survival training site for the elite Green Berets during the Vietnam War? Or bask in the sun on a sandy white beach by day and gamble in world-class casinos by night? Filipino businessman Anthony Trillo thinks he has the answer: Subic Bay Free Port, the former naval base that the Americans vacated in 1992. Mainly the article goes on considering the above-mentioned issues. |
