Information provided by a visitor of Zamboanga.com:

Bunguiao is the chief producer of bananas, coconuts, marang, mangoes, jackfruits and other fruits and vegetables which are sold in the city of Zamboanga. The barangay boasts of the largest number of buses plying back and forth from the city mostly to transport its produces and residents. These buses are very convenient to a large number of employees working in the various government and private offices in the city as well as the adjoining suburbs. Furthermore it is expedient to teachers & students who commutes daily to the different universities and colleges who prefers to live in their own homes rather than staying with relatives or boarding houses.

The barangay of Bunguiao has its own public primary, elementary and high schools as well as daycares and pre-school/kindergarten for the very young.

The site of the Bunguiao Elementary school which is located at the centre of the barangay was donated by the late Dona Valeria Ledesma Camins vda de Paulino as well as the site of the parish church which is about 500 meters from each other.

Religious needs of the predominantly catholic community is provided by the Claretian Fathers headed by Father Emilio Pablo and parish priest Father Jojo. the Claretian community in Bunguiao has two novitiates: one for future priests and another for future nuns who hails from different provinces throughout the Philippines. In fact Father Jojo of Basilan City is a product of this novitiate. Fr Pablo is also the founder and head of the Reflexology Centre composed of seminarians and locals especially trained by him who in return provides free reflexology therapies to the sick and needy in Bunguiao, the city and other surrounding barangays like Dulian, Bolong ect.
