Favorite Picture of the Barangay

Guiwan is fast becoming an extension of the city. The national hwy passes through Guiwan giving it the exposure to most of the other barangays located on the N/E side of Zamboanga. People don't have to travel far to buy fish and produce. Guiwan boasts of a fully stocked fish market and produce market.  You can shop for groceries at the  big ShopMark shopping center. It rivals any shopping center downtown.

The bus terminal to other points in Zamboanga del Sur is in guiwan. They even have a used car dealership. There are over 50 cars in stock at any given time.

Transportation to the city is still by Jeepneys, taxi, and tri-cycle. As of 2002  four pesos will take you to town. By tri-cycle will cost you about 10 to 20 pesos depending on the tri-cycle driver.
