History of Subic


JuteVilla
In 1572, Juan de Salcedo, the Spanish conquistador and grandson of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, founded Subic during his exploration of northern Luzon.[4]

Spanish period

In September 1762, the British invaded the Philippines and took over the Spanish main naval base in Manila Bay. This prompted the Spanish military to scout for the next promising naval station. The expedition returned with the good news for the naval command - a natural bounty and deep waters at Subic Bay. King Alfonso XII issued a decree in 1884
