Arriving at the centennial airport at 10:30 am, a friend of mine will be the one who fetch us in the airport with his service car arrived at 11:00 am. The reason for his delay is due to traffic in alabang area, he was driving all the way from Lipa, Batangas City. While we’re going on the way to thier house in sampaloc, manila, most of us feel our stomach grumbling for hunger… my friend iko said, let’s take a lunch…. He wants to eat a chicken barbecue, since Banoks is not around here in manila, I’m thinking of Mang Inasal, then Nick a friend of mine headed us to Market Market a mall owned by the Ayala’s while we’re going there i took advantage to snap some picture’s of the buildings and famous establishment in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

When were already at the mall and we find Reyes Barbecue. A little history, In the late 2003, Francisco Reyes converted his franchised Aristocrat Restaurants at the food courts of Shangrila Mall and SM City North EDSA to Reyes Barbecue outlets. In the middle of 2005, the Reyes brothers decided to form a partnership to engage in the franchising of Reyes Barbecue to entrepreneurs. The brothers are the sons of Teresita “Mama Sita” Reyes, the eldest daughter of Doña Engracia “Aling Asiang” Reyes. They deem the brand as an appropriate vehicle to serve the famous barbecue dishes of the Reyes clan to the broad market in a quick-service format.
From the first Reyes Barbecue franchised outlet in Theater Mall Greenhills which opened on October 2005, the chain has grown to more than 40 outlets by the first half of 2008. Eventually, Reyes Barbecue is envisioned to be the global barbecue brand to be found in cities all over the world.
Reyes Barbeque
What’s on thier Menu? they had Pork/Chicken Barbecue, Grilled Bangus, Grilled Pusit and Grilled Liempo Meals.. One of their best seller is Chicken Barbecue Meal Boneless. All meals are served with Java Rice, Peanuts Sauce and Atchara…
The Best Seller Chicken Barbeque Meal Boneless
The barbecue came from four generations of perfecting barbecue by a cooking clan whose past time is to discuss and create the best food preparations. The clan pioneered the best food combination majority of Manilans grew up with- the Barbecue with Java Rice served with the famous Peanut Sauce and Atchara on the side. The smell of what’s cooking on the grill will bring us in, and leave the rest to our eating.

My sister called and want me to attend a GACPA convention in subic, all of my friends from different agencies are so excited to attend the event, so i had no choice but to make an approved authority of travel and signed it to our director and attend the convention, besides most of my friends and are not interested in the convention but the adventures and experiences of what subic has to offer on it’s tourist…
From davao to manila, march is the best way to travel by plane since the weather is hot and humid our plane ride is smooth via Philippine Airlines Airbus 340. In manila, Hop on the bus in victory liner terminal in pasay, lookin for the sign Olongapo, bus fare from Pasay to Olongapo is at 210 pesos plus a 5 pesos malayan insurance…
Victory Liner Bus
We travelled for 3 hours, it’s wednesday traffic in Edsa was good, the bus leaves pasay via Edsa to NCLEX (North Luzon Expressway) where speed limit is 100 kph, then exited to San Fernando Pampanga, stop over at Lubao, Pampanga and an hour later were at Olongapo City.
Subic is part of Olongapo, Its a former United States Naval Base, until the Senate of the Philippines rejected the extension of the treaty in 1992. The Departure of US Naval forces promting Olongapo City downed thier economy since most of thier business depends on the thousand of US Citizens in the area. In order to keep the City alive president Ramos created Subic a special freeport zone, it was named Subic Bay Freeport Zone, so companies are free to invest without much taxes burden in thier hands.. so this keep subic bay and olongapo city booming these days.
Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center
Upon entering the gates of subic i notice there’s none public utility vehicles running around like the jeepney, tricycle or the yellow plated taxi’s sedans, What they allowed is the accredited service transport AUV’s like the Toyota Revo’s, Innova, Avanza, Mitsubishi Adventure, and Isuzu Crosswind. They had also Vans and Buses. A fixed fare of the AUV’s is at 60 to 70 pesos going to the convention center or at Duty Free PX Stores.
GACPA
GACPA Convention
Convention Center
On the first day of the convention is our pre registration, we take time to take some photo opportunities at the venue, The Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center, the place is huge, it can accomodate almost 10,000 people in two area phases in auditorium style. The delegates of GACPA Convention has reached 3,600 and only the first phase of the area is occupied with decent tables and chairs so the delegates can eat and sit comfortably.
Olongapo City Streets
A visit to subic isn’t complete if you won’t visit thier famous tourist attraction the Zoobic Safari and the Ocean Adventure. You must hire an AUV accredited transport it takes a half day going to these two great attractions and back to convention center at a contract price of 1,000 pesos. It’s better to gather a group of friends to share the fare with. As a front passenger i buckle up and off we go… I notice the driver observed and implementing the speed limit and laws driving in subic it’s like in america, no traffic, dicipline drivers i hail to that for a safe ride.
