Philippines was set to be a cruise destination

Did you know that Star cruises, a Malaysian operated cruise, which is listed in Singapore, was supposed to make Subic Bay Philippines, as one of it's docking spots for tourists?

According to one of the people I spoke to in a recent cruise trip, she said that the proposal had been sent but the Philippine Government was asking for an outrageous amount of deals before it will be approved as a "stop" for cruise tourists.

For me, it was a big opportunity lost for the Tourism industry in the Philippines. I do not exactly know in which term (Presidential Term) this happend but, regardless, it was a waste.
