Olongapo, City district in Central Luzon, Philippines
Olongapo spans across the western section of Luzon island, featuring an urban layout that extends toward the waters of Subic Bay.
The Spanish Navy established Olongapo as a naval settlement in 1884, constructing an arsenal that transformed the area into Spain's primary naval base.
The population of Olongapo communicates in Tagalog, Ilocano, and Sambal languages, while maintaining strong connections to Roman Catholic traditions.
The city contains 17 administrative districts, each managed by elected officials who coordinate public services and community development programs.
The transformation of the former United States naval facilities into the Subic Bay Freeport Zone created manufacturing centers and an international airport.
