Weekend trips

If Baguio is the mountain, New Clark is the junction on the plain. Clark International Airport is next door and both Subic and Manila are inside two hours, so a volcano, a coast and the capital all fit in one term.

Beach

Subic Bay — the sea and a freeport in one place

Subic Bay, Zambales · 1.5 hrs by car

What was a US naval base is a freeport and a marine resort now. The bay is sheltered, so the water stays calm, and Ocean Adventure with its dolphins and sea lions, Zoobic Safari — a jeepney ride between the tiger enclosures — and the beaches all sit inside the same radius. A day is enough for it; stay the night and it is unhurried.

Heritage

Bataan — a Spanish colonial town moved and rebuilt whole

Bagac, Bataan · 1.5 hrs by car

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. Spanish colonial mansions from all over the Philippines, all of them close to being torn down, taken apart brick by brick and rebuilt on the coast as a single town. The stone streets, the horse-drawn carriages and the boat across the river are all still there, so walking around is enough to put you inside the nineteenth-century Philippines. Some of the guided tours run in English, so the visit can become an extension of class.

Golf

Two new golf courses, five minutes by car

New Clark City, Capas · 5 min by car

Hann Reserve, being built on a scale unmatched in Asia, is five minutes from campus. Three championship courses are opening in turn across 450 hectares, and the first of them, Dragon's Landing, opened in 2026. The Vista Country Club, par 72, is in the same district of Capas. Class in the morning and a round in the afternoon — a day that rarely comes together in the Philippines.

And beyond that

Mount Pinatubo
Santa Juliana, Capas, Tarlac · 30 min

The turquoise crater lake left by the second-largest eruption of the twentieth century. A day trip: 4x4 through the lahar canyons, then up the riverbed on foot. It sits in Capas, the same district as the campus, so it is far closer from here than from Baguio.

Subic Ocean Adventure
Subic Bay, Zambales · 1.5 hrs

Southeast Asia's first open-water marine park. Dolphin and sea lion shows alongside its conservation programmes.

Zoobic Safari
Subic Bay Freeport · 1.5 hrs

A safari you ride through on a jeepney, tiger enclosures either side. A favourite with families and junior students.

Subic beaches
Subic Bay, Zambales · 1.5 hrs

Fine sand, calm water, coral and a wreck. Swimming, snorkelling, diving — the day runs out first.

Clark · Angeles City
Angeles City, Pampanga · 30 min

SM City Clark and Fields Avenue, and the original sisig of Pampanga — the country's culinary capital. The nearest city to campus.

Puning Hot Spring
Sapangbato, Angeles · 40 min

Open-air springs and a sand spa in Pinatubo's ash fields. The right thing to do the day after a trek.

Aqua Planet · Sky Ranch
Clark Freeport, Pampanga · 30 min

One of Luzon's largest water parks, and an amusement park with a Ferris wheel. First stop for junior and family students.

Zoocobia · Clark Safari
Clark, Pampanga · 30 min

A zoo and adventure park you tour by ATV. Half a day is enough.

Intramuros, Manila
Intramuros, Manila · 1.5 hrs

The walled Spanish colonial city and Fort Santiago, plus Rizal Park, one of Asia's largest urban parks. An hour and a half by car.
