Zamboanga City, Philippines

I was born in the vicinity of the sea in Ipil, Zamboanga del Sur. My father was a navy during that time. When he was assigned in Zamboanga City, the entire family have to transfer. It was my first travel.

Zamboanga City was known as CITY of FLOWERS. Today, the city is commercially branded for tourism by the city government as "Asia's Latin City," a clear reference to Zamboanga's identification with the Hispanized cultures of "Latin America" or the USA's "Latino" subculture. The City was formerly a part of the Commonwealth Era Moro Province of Mindanao. Its ancient inhabitants were vassals of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo. If you thinking of going to Sabbah Malaysia, you can actually take a ferry from Zamboanga City.

Zamboanga City was quoted as Muslim Area but most of the people here are catholic. It has 3 major universities, aiport, seaport, malls, fishing industry is booming, tourism and art and culture.

Tourist spots are, Pasonanca Park, the Zamboanga City relief map at the sunken garden, glof course, Sta. Cruz Island,Fort Pilar and Abong-Abong.
