Mabuhay!

This is a photo and video journal of our afternoon leisurely walk with our friends in Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone.

Getting There

The Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ) and the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ) are located in the Pampanga and Tarlac provinces in the Philippines. The CFEZ is a hub for business, tourism, and aviation and is considered one of the fastest-growing investment destinations in the country.

From the Ninoy International Airport, you can take a Genesis Point-to-Point (P2P) bus to Clark International Airport.

In Cubao Terminal, many buses go north of Luzon, e.g., to Pampanga, Pangasinan, Ilocos, Tuguegarao, etc. Most of these buses stop at the Dau, Mabalacat City Bus Terminal. From Mabalacat, there are many transport options to Clark, such as taxis, jeepneys, vans, or tricycles.

The approximate bus travel time from Manila to Clark, Pampanga is around 2 hours.

Former US Army Officers Housing

The old US officers' housing in Clark, Pampanga, is commonly referred to as "Barn Houses. " These large wooden structures were built between 1903 and 1904 by the US military to serve as residences for officers stationed at the base. They feature a distinctive tropical architectural style with raised floors and wide verandas for cool air circulation. These houses are a prime example of early American tropical architecture in the Philippines.
