SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — A beach resort operator has filed a case against the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), seeking a court order to remove refrigerated containers blamed for emitting foul odors that have disrupted tourism activities and affected workers’ health.
In a complaint for judicial abatement of nuisance and mandamus filed before the Regional Trial Court in Olongapo City on May 28, Brighterday Subic Ltd., Inc. (BSLI), operator of the All Hands Beach Resort, alleged that the persistent stench from the nearby New Container Terminal (NCT) has driven away guests, caused booking cancellations, and raised health concerns among employees.

The case stems from 118 overstaying refrigerated containers at the Subic Bay International Terminal Complex (SBITC), many of which contain abandoned or confiscated agricultural products that have remained unclaimed for more than 300 days.
