| Fruit bats hanging by the tree branches in Subic. |
Bunkers are protective embankments or dugouts used in the Second World
War. It is canopied with grasses and tree leaves so it cannot be easily seen by
the opponents. When you get to tour in Subic, you will be able to witness these
Second World War remnants. But other than these, Subic has a vast of tropical
forests that until now is the home of many fruit bats and monkeys freely
loitering around the woods. And we really saw them during our trip to Subic.

| The bunker restaurant in Subic. |
The bunkers we saw were indeed not obvious because one may say they were
just mounts on the land. But they were actually dugouts which were used to
store food, medicine and evacuate people during World War II. Bunkers back then
were the safest place during the war. These bunkers were included as part of
sightseeing in Subic. One of the bunkers was already turned into a restaurant.
To see is to believe, I know, but we
really saw monkeys when we had our tour in Subic. It’s just that the bus driver
didn’t stop when the monkeys were by the side of the road and we were not able
to take pictures (One of my friends though said that if we luckily took photos
of ourselves together with the monkeys, we will be surely unluckily asked by
our other friends which one in the photo is the monkey and the human…oh what a
poor story haha). But at least on our part, we saw them. Because the last time
we went to Subic they were not on the road and thus we did not witness monkeys
back then. Besides, there were already a horde monkeys inside the bus…only the
highest form. :-)

We were told by the tourist guide that
Subic is only part of Zambales at the side of the Royal Duty Free shop and the
rest going to Zoobic Safari, Tree Top Adventure and Camayan are already a part
of Morong in Bataan. A trivia indeed right, because what we used to know, Subic
is wholly part of Zambales, well yes if we pertain to the town Subic north of
Olongapo City (I have had a five-day staycation there before), but if we say
“Subic” and that’s Subic Freeport Zone or SBMA, then a large part of it is
Morong, Bataan.

| The forests in Subic was adorned by these fruit bats--or they make it creepier? |
Getting unfortunate with the monkeys,
somehow we were able to capture fruit bats in our cameras. They were like
vampires sleeping by day and alive at night. And speaking of vampires, they
were indeed like Dracula, they sleep the way Dracula do. Only they were hanging
on tree branches as if they were fruits. Thus, fruit bats. They really appear
creepy..and Subic has the feel that it’s a mysterious forest. It’s like anytime
at night, when you are alone walking in the forest, just these group of fruit
bats will devour you anytime. And leave you with just your skull and bones.
Haha.

| Look at the reddish part in one of the fruit bats--does it resemble anything or someone? |
But what made one of the photos I
captured really creepy is that an orb appeared on it. There was this face of a
young girl on one of the fruit bats. I didn’t notice it at once, but when I was
zooming in and out, I was a bit shocked it really resembled the face of a girl.
I don’t know if it has something to do with the light or anything, but when I
posted it on Facebook, people commented that they indeed saw it. Well one of
the commenters also said that she saw the whole body of the young girl, a much
creepier comment than the orb itself because what we only saw is the ‘face’ of
the young girl..not the whole body! Imagine! Haha.

| Do you see the face of a girl in this photo? |
Maybe bunkers are not enough for you to
experience what Subic is all about. But such orbs that we saw were only spices
to it. Fruit bats and monkeys, if you are luck to see them, do not forget to
take pictures. Because it is not all the time that they are there. Sometimes
they are hiding. Or somehow waiting for you to discover them in this
mysteriously enchanting place called Subic.
