 The name “Subic” has evolved over the history of Subic Bay. It was derived from the native word
“hubek”, which means “head of a plow”. That name has persisted, although the spelling and pronunciation
have changed over the ages - as Spanish colonists interpreted it as “Subiq”, followed by early American
influence changing it to “Subig” and finally, it’s modern pronunciation “Subic”.

In 1572, Juan de Salcedo came to Olongapo and Subic Bay to collect tribute for Spain’s King Philip II.
While the native were not happy about the situation, they could not resist Spanish guns and warships.

In 1885, the Spanish began to build the Arsenal at the Port of Subic Bay Olongapo with native labor to
protect their interests in the Philippines against insurrection. The Spanish navy used the Port of Subic Bay
to protect their control over their Philippines colony.

In 1898, the Spanish-American War began, and Spain’s hold on the Philippines was doomed.

In 1991, the Philippine Senate decided not to renew the lease on the US naval base at the Port of
Subic Bay. The US Navy had already started down sizing its operations when Mount. Pinatubo presented
one of the biggest volcanic eruptions of the previous century. The Navy base was covered in ash, and
several structures collapsed. The USS Belleau was the last US ship to leave the Port of Subic Bay in late
1992.

The Port of Subic Bay hosted the APEC Leaders’ Summit in 1996. The Port of Subic Bay is not just a
commercial enterprise. Subic Bay is a popular vacation spot for residents of Manila who come to enjoy
the beaches, visit the underwater aquarium, take jungle survival tours, or shop at the duty-free
shopping centers.
