From the Manila Standard Today (Oct 7): Subic hosts RNR-hungry US Marines

This former US Naval Base facility, now a center for manufacturing and shipping, has been transformed into a liberty port overnight with the arrival Friday of more than 2,200 US Marine soldiers, who hanker for rest and recreation or entertainment. The Freeport two main roads, Waterfront and Dewey’s Avenue teemed with civilian-clad GI Joes patronizing beer parlors and hotel lobbies since the USS Bonhomme Richards, an amphibious assault and helicopter carrier, hit the Alva dock Friday.... None of the local media based on the Freeport have been accredited by the Philippine Marines. The coverage was limited to Defense reporters and foreign media.
