My trip to Zambales
Last week my friend and his family invited me to visit their hometown in Olongapo, Zambales. I admit I enjoyed the experience a lot. It was approximately 2 hour drive from Manila. On the way to the mountains, I saw some rice fields with small houses. We passed by vast land with towers in it. I asked my friend if they are electric post. My friend said that some properties along the way are under a cell phone tower leases contract.
Zambales is definitely gifted with the beauty of its surrounding. Although it was touched by people it still maintained its natural beauty. The coastline of Zambales is surrounded by breathtaking beaches that are lined with coral reefs and sandy white sand. The town centers are located in low lying area. The mountain ranges that enclosed the whole city is really magnificent.
The province of Zambales is considered to historical place. Olongapo city is where the US naval base was located during WWII. There are a lot of ancestral homes found in the area. Although last 1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted that caused major catastrophic disaster leaving homeless people, the province is slowly regaining itself in terms of economic as well as physical aspect.
