another coastline. Zambales Province is located on
the western coast of Luzon and like many other activities
in the area, has yet to attract the attention that
many of the other surfing locations in the Philippines

Jungle
Survival Training
As early as 1904,
with the first large scale arrival of US marines,
The jungles of Subic Bay have been used to train military
in survival techniques. In the 1960’s with the
escalation of the Vietnam War, the jungles value as
a training area was greatly enhanced. The US military
relied on real jungle experts, the Aetas.
The Aetas are a nomadic
mountain tribe who has lived in the area for centuries.
During the Vietnam War and afterwards, the Aetas taught
their skills to US military including Marines, Navy
seals and Special Forces units at the Jungle Environment
Survival Training (JEST) Camp When the US military
departed the Philippines the JEST camp was converted
to teach non-military students. Under the SBMA, The
Aetas still teach at the JEST, and act as jungle guides
and forest rangers. The Subic Bay Freeport also host
a firing range and another is nearby in Bataan.
