INTRODUCTION

The name “Kalaklan” is said to have been derived from the Filipino word, “kalakalan” meaning trading or commerce.

WATER SOURCE & POWER SOURCE

Water services are provided by Subic Water and Sewage Company also known as subic water. Which is a different water distribution company serving the neighboring towns of Subic, Zambales.

The Barangay Kalaklan (neighborhood or suburb) is directly across the river from the northwestern side of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, formerly US Naval Base Subic Bay.

The National Highway separates Lower and Upper Kalaklan, with Lower Kalaklan being right next to the river. The Kalaklan Lighthouse Bridge connects the freeport zone to the highway, which runs parallel to that part of the river.

In both sides of the highway going north along the mountainsides overlooking the community of olongapo is barrio kalaklan developed by the u.s. navy. Due to the panoramic view and natural beauty of the place, project houses were built and constructed by the u.s. navy for the exclusive use of american naval officers stationed in subic bay. Although the area was reserved exclusively for american naval officers and other key civilian employees of the u.s. naval base, however, due to the rapid increase in the population of olongapo at that time due to the expansion of the naval base, barrio kalaklan was opened for occupancy by the other residents of olongapo.

Currently run by Olongapo Electric Distribution Company (OEDC), a privately owned electric distribution utility which started operations in the city on June 1, 2013
