SBMA is now enforcing stricter safety protocols to ensure the health and safety of visitors to the Subic Bay Freeport amid the recent surge in COVID-19 infections.

The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) on Monday began checking for vaccination cards among persons entering the Subic Bay Freeport to prevent further transmission of COVID-19 in the area and maintain the health and safety of stakeholders in this vital economic zone.

SBMA has generated a total of P65.73 million in income from participating in the government’s crew-change program that facilitated the safe and speedy travel of Filipino and foreign seafarers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

SBMA on January 4 served final notice to the Filipino Farmers Center Internazionale (FFCI) and at least 11 of its members for them to vacate areas they have illegally occupied along the northeast periphery of the Subic Bay Freeport.

Security personnel from the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority’s Law Enforcement Department (SBMA-LED), along with members of the Olongapo City Police Office (OCPO), prevented a distressed security guard at a company here from taking his own life on Monday.
