The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) will release ₱158.9 million to its eight contiguous local government units (LGUs) as their revenue share for the second semester of 2025.
SBMA Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño noted that this year’s release is 10.99% higher than the ₱143.17 million released during the same period last year.
The revenue shares are computed based on 50% population, 25% land area, and 25% equal sharing, ensuring an equitable distribution among the LGUs.
The allocations per LGU are as follows:
- Olongapo City: ₱36.73 million
- Subic, Zambales: ₱23.95 million
- Dinalupihan, Bataan: ₱19.99 million
- San Marcelino, Zambales: ₱19.14 million
- Hermosa, Bataan: ₱17.06 million
- San Antonio, Zambales: ₱13.5 million
- Castillejos, Zambales: ₱14.44 million
- Morong, Bataan: ₱14.09 million
Aliño emphasized that the revenue shares help augment LGU funds for **calamity response, health and safety, peace and order, livelihood programs, education, tourism, infrastructure, and social services.
For context, SBMA released ₱197.85 million for the first semester of 2025, bringing the total LGU share for the year to ₱356.74 million. These shares are sourced from five-percent taxes paid by business locators in the Subic Bay Freeport and are collected January–June for the first semester and July–December for the second semester, with releases occurring in August and February, respectively.
