History [edit]

The early Malay settlers called the region “Jambangan”, which means Land of the Flowers. These Malays who built their settlements by the river banks were the Subanons, that is the “People of the River”. Their http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamboanga_City[2/26/2009 8:16:18 PM] Zamboanga City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

chief, Saragan, lived with his family atop the legendary Mount Pulumbato that today lords over and Climaco Freedom Park (formerly Abong-Abong Park) then later on, the Samals and the Badjaos who came on their frail also settled here, building their huts along the shorelines and confused “Jambangan” with “Samboangan” which comes from the word “Sabuan”, the wooden pole used to help push their vintas in shallow waters or to tie them for anchorage purposes. The Spanish colonizers found difficulty in pronouncing “Samboangan” and instead called the place “Zamboanga”. The city has rich and colorful history. It was the center of barter trading among Chinese, Malays and the native Tausugs, Samals, Subanons, and the Badjaos as early as the 13th and 14th centuries. It was in 1569 when the Spaniards made their presence felt with a small Catholic Mission established briefly at La Caldera, now known as Recodo. The city's patron saint is La Nuestra Senora del Pilar de Zaragoza of Zaragoza, . A statue honoring the saint is prominently embossed above the façade on the eastern wall of .

Zamboanga Charter Signing Much later on June 23, 1635, the cornerstone of what is now known as Fort Pilar was laid by Father Melchor de Vera, a Jesuit Priest-Engineer and the Spanish authorities. This date marked the change of the name of the place from Samboangan to Zamboanga. It is the city’s founding date. The meter-thick walled fort is officially called El Real Fuerza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza (also called El Real Fuerza de San José in its early days). In 1899, after the Spanish-American War in the Philippines, the United States of America defeated the forces of the revolutionary government of the Republic of Zamboanga under popular President and Gen. Vicente Alvarez y Solis thereby establishing full authority in Zamboanga. The U.S. military then appointed Alvarez's political opponent and U.S. friendly, Isidor Midel, to finish the Presidential term of Alvarez. In March 1901, a municipal election was held with the help of the U.S. administration, wherein Mariano Arquiza was elected President of the new republic for two years ending in 1903. Then after, the Moro Province was established in Mindanao and Sulu, and the original ancient Zamboanga was made its capital. The first U.S. form of military government was the Moro Province and during the 12 years of its existence, the American Military Government converted the original Zamboanga into a city in the Commission Form, the first U.S.-created province in Mindanao to become/revert to a city. Zamboanga was already a major city of government and military importance under the Spanish Administration. However, the U.S. military government of the Moro Province was abolished to give way to a new form of U.S. military/quasi local civilian government, called the Department of Mindanao Flag of the Republic of and Sulu. This form of government entrusted to the Filipino residents of Zamboanga practically all positions in government. Zamboanga The Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1937 declared Zamboanga as a Charter City. Progress and development in Zamboanga continued and in 1983, the Minister Interior Jose Roño proclaimed Zamboanga City as a highly urbanized city.

The mayor and councilors are elected to four-year terms. The City received its own representation for the Philippine Congress beginning in 1984. The former lone congressional district is divided into two separate districts: the West District (I) from the City Proper to Labuan, and the East District from Tetuan to Limpapa(II).

Countless, and quite priceless, artifacts dating back to over a thousand years have been excavated in the early 1900s by American archaeologists during their occupation of the Philippines in the vicinities of Zamboanga and Mindanao.

Most Zamboanga dishes are Spanish in origin. Others, like bagon de gata, , and those with heavy dependence on gata (coconut cream/milk) are distinctly indigenous. Yet, even the most native of local foods, namely the , Spanish influence is evident in the use of herbal spices, such as tanglad (lemon grass), and bambawing (a "weed" which seems to be peculiar to Zamboanga, and looks and smells like a "wild" member of the basil family).

Flowers.” (interesting historical note: The mainland of the North American Landang Laum (Sacol continent was first sighted by the Spanish explorer and treasure hunter Don isl.) Juan Ponce de Leon on Easter, March 27, 1513. He claimed the land for Spain Lanzones and named it La Florida, meaning "Land of Flowers".)

One can only imagine how Jambangan must have looked back then, with its Mariki Mercedes profusion of native vegetation and flowers. It is said that Marco Polo’s ship Manicahan, Zamboanga City, Philippines Barangay Hall June 2007 probably spent some time exploring the coasts of Mindanao and Sulu in 1292 Muti while waiting many months on the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia for a favorable Pamucutan monsoon to deliver a royal bride from the court of Kublai Khan, a grandson of Pangapuyan Genghis Khan and supreme leader of the vast empire of Mongolia (1215-94), to Panubigan the Khan of Persia and may have made contact with the new inhabitants of the Pasilmanta (Sacol region. The monsoons around this area of Southeast Asia were constant and Island) reliable, well known to all the seasoned mariners and widely credited for the Pasobolong * 2 profusion of early commerce in the area. The Chinese have historical Pasonanca documentation of trade between the Malayan transplants who occupied the Sulu Patalon Archipelago and their residents, mainly from the Fujian, or Fukien, Province Putik that started during this century and continued on to this day. Astoundingly, Quiniput

Filipino archivist credit this era's Chinese connection with Fujian as the sole Recodo San Ramon, Zamboanga City, Philippines April 2007 contributor to the lineage of ninety percent (90%) of Chinese-Filipino (Chino- Rio Hondo Pinoy or ChiNoy) ancestry. The trade monopoly between Fujian, China and Salaan The Philippines, especially with the early Malay settlers who congregated in the San Jose Sulu Archipelago region, is a testament to the very strong position ancient Cawa-Cawa Jambangan enjoys today as the international business trade center for all of San Jose south-western Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. Gusu San Ramon San Roque NOTE: Koxinga (see 1600s A.D.) is from Fujian and his threat to Spanish rule Sangali in the Philippines reflects this ancient trade monopoly. Sibulao (Curuan) 1300s A.D. – The Malayan influx Sinubong Sinunuc Quniput, Zamboanga City, Philippines School - Taken June 2007 Then came the Badjaos and the Samals from Malayan decent who settled Sta. Barbara Sta. Catalina along the Jambangan shoreline in the 1300s. They made contact with the Sta. Maria founding Subanons who told them the namesake of their newfound home. The Sto. Niño new settlers however preferred to call it Samboangan, which to this day is what Tagasilay they sentimentally call it. However, those who still insist on referring to Taguiti Samboangan as the original name of Zamboanga City are subject to debate of Talabaan loose historical facts. One can only imagine the migration route that was founded Talisayan by the Malayan settlers into Jambangan and Mindanao, and the trade route that Talon-Talon ensued along the Sulu Archipelago between them, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Taluksangay and the traders from the Middle East, India, China, and Japan who were plying Tetuan the waters of this area.

products, commerce, and exotic shores, and Jambangan was a contributor to this trade activity. The Badjaos, Samals, Tausugs, and Yakans from Malaysia and Borneo/Brunei still consist a big majority of the minority group that make up today's area population. On the other hand, the founding Subanons of Indonesia have long moved their nucleus onto the hinterlands of the Mindanao Island peninsula to pursue their ancient ways, leaving behind only a semblance of their numerous presence. One can catch a glimpse of what it must have been like in the early days by visiting their mountain home today. The Yakans would choose to establish themselves in the island of Basilan, with a small thriving community present here today. The Badjaos are a sea-faring tribe in its truest sense and can be seen scattered around the Sulu Archipelago, but have a loose foothold on residency here.
