SU BI C BAY MANILA PIIILIPPINI' I PHILIPPINES Many sailors ventured out beyond the main gates to explore and were hoping to find many luxuries that they could keep for souvenirs. After crossing the Santa Rita River Bridge Qas it is less commonly knownj, you are treated to a variety of colors and sounds. Banners fly everywhere greeting you to their country and inviting to buy something . The men, women, and even the children would barrage you with hats, sunglasses, and a vast number of other items to buy. The bars and nightclubs cater every musical interest, from country to rock n' roll. You could actually sit in a bar and enjoy yourself without any hassles, but you did have to be aware of a hand pounding on your leg and a whisper, buy me a drink . The outskirts of Olongapo City was a get away, we were able to see the beautiful country-side that the Philippines has to offer. It is truly a wonder- ful countryg full of beautiful sights, wonderful people and a proud past.
