My second home in the Philippines became necessary due to an assignment at the former Clark Air Base, which had been converted into an Special Economic Development Zone after the Americans had vacated the airport field, houses and other establishments.

Lots of sport activities are possible, even hot-air-ballooning and flying from Clark Air field.

It is only a short drive to the coast of Zambales and to enjoy the sea, just enough for a day excursion.
