Zamboanga City on the tip of the peninsula that juts out of the
bottom of Mindanao island in the southern Philippines -- is a delightful
combination of history, culture, scenic beauty and economic potential.
Image Zamboanga is 142 thousand hectares of sloping
terrain rising from a surrounding shoreline of coral beaches to
mineral-rich mountains in the center of the peninsula.
The town that is known as the City of Flowers boasts a
profusion of colorful tropical blossoms, outstanding seascapes, cool
highland retreats, verdant forests and magnificent underwater scenery.
Cruising the offshore waters on clear, breezy days are
vintas, native outriggers with square sails of many designs and colors.
Image Houses on stilts, inhabited by people from tribes that used to call the sea their home, line the shores.
Cultural presentations depict traditional arts and
dances, but the discos are also full of young people moving to the
latest dance craze.
Zamboanga is one of the oldest cities in the Philippines.
Originally inhabited by the Subanon tribe, it became a Spanish outpost
in the 17th century.
The women are famous
for their beauty.
