The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA; [1]) is a governmental agency of the Philippines.[2][3] The SBMA has played a significant part in the development of the Subic Special Economic and Freeport Zone into a self-sustainable area that promotes the industrial, commercial, investment, and financial areas of trade in the zone as well as in the Philippines itself.
The area of jurisdiction of the SBMA includes the erstwhile U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay, parts of Redondo peninsula where the Subic Hanjin shipyard is located, and erstwhile US defence accommodations in the hills consisting of Binictican and Kalayan housing areas.[4]
The agency is currently headed by Eduardo L. Aliño as of January 22, 2024. His predecessor as Chairman and Administrator from 2023 to 2024 was former Pandan, Antique mayor Jonathan Tan.
