Wild Orchid Resort Subic: Exciting Subic

Whether you kick-off from Manila or Angeles City, Subic Bay is within reach in a few hours’ drive through relaxing and invigorating countryside scenery. For many, traversing SCTEX, one of the most modern and well-designed expressways in the country, is like cruising a California interstate highway. No, in fact, it is even a more verdant and pastoral landscape because we all know the Philippine archipelago is located in the tropics and is constantly blessed with tons of rains when needed and year-long sunshine that nourish and preserve the predominantly agricultural areas around the scattered urban centers in more than 7,100 islands.
