Actually, from what I remember way back when the US air force was still running Clark AFB, it was much safer then as more security was handled by the US military all around the bar areas. More patrols and it was always 24/7 as it was always busy around Fields, Perimeter or Friendship any time of day/nite. Unlike today, it was truly a 24hr non-stop town back then. Back then the action didn't seem to start until after 11pm-12 and today action starts to wind down at this time.
And all I remember was it was fairly safe all day or night, there was always foot traffic almost everywhere as there were not many deserted or abandon areas(actually can't remember any at all as every inch of space from Fields all the way past Perimeter was full of bars and brothels). Today there are many deserted and dark/lonely patches around Perimeter, the only hassle I recall was that every other serviceman was fairly drunk and it could be trouble, not so much as the risk of getting robbed but getting into fights. Ah, the good old days of AC, what memories.
Today, rare to see any police patrols or even police outside of 1-2 area near the entrance to Fields. These days even the police are afraid of going into some areas at night.
