PHILIPPINES No West Pac would be complete nor could any West coast sailor call him- self an old salt without a port of call in the Republic of the Philippines. Goldsborough made two brief visits to these mountain and jungle filled islands. Subic Bay on the island of Luzon is the home of the U.S. naval base, where everything from ship re- pair to recreational facilities are avail- able and just outside the main gate is the night life of Olongapo City. Here the numerous clubs cater to almost any type of appetite, ranging from rock and roll to country-western. If you're not up to the loud, bright light scene, a more peaceful setting is only a jeepme ride away to Subic City or the barrio. Although there was plenty to do our liberty was cut short by a midnight curfew due to the po- litical problems of the Filipino gov- ernment.
