Zoobic Safari. Is the latest attraction of Subic Bay Freeport's Forest adventure. The "Zoobic Safari" offers a unique ride in a "Safari Jeep" through the vast expanse of savannah amidst the Ilanin forest in Subic. This is very enjoyable adventure because beside of seeing animals you may also have chances to learn from our brother Aetas who were trained by the Navy Seals as early as the 1960s. They now serve as forest rangers and guides to this popular ecotourism attraction in Subic. These aetas demonstrated before us hunting techniques and the use of tools, like sumpit and pana (bow and arrow) which are handmade by them. They also performed ethnic rituals, like hunting and fishing dances.
