Goodbye America is a 1997 action-drama film that examines how the closing of the U.S. naval base at Subic Bay, Philippines affected the Filipinos and the Americans who had served there. The film was an attempt to bring Philippine cinema into the international audience. As the U.S. Subic Bay naval base's operations slowly wind down and naval manpower begins to dwindle, Commander Hamilton relies on three U.S. Navy Seals to help keep the base secure. William Hawk , a longtime American sailor nearing the end of a tour of duty, is involved with a Filipina, Lisa Velasquez , a representative of the... mayor's office in nearby Olongapo City. Lisa has to deal with the economic crisis that the base's closing will bring to her community, as well as her own personal problems brought on by Hawk's imminent departure and the strained relationship of her mother, Anna , and stepfather, Ed . Paul Bladon , another Navy Seal at the Subic Bay base, is the son of a U.S. Senator , who will be visiting Subic Bay for the base's closing ceremonies.
