Click on pictures to get a better view of this beautiful curuan rice field. |
| As you drive down the highway and you come to the curuan
border, you will see rice fields on both sides of the highway. Curuan is
a farming community but steadily modernizing its commercial center. Curuan has a large fishpond industry. Most of the fishponds are located by the estuary where most of the mangroves used to be. Curuan must learn to take care of its mangroves or it will lose a major part of its natural resources. People continually cut the mangrove trees to sell them as fence posts. This practice must stop. The curuan river provides irrigation to hundreds of hectares of ricefields to both curuan and quiniput areas. |

Curuan may be far from the city but not that far to deprive contituents
of this barangay to be aware of what is happening in the city... It
comprises of people from different races - pure zamboangueño, bisaya,
muslims but they are united. There is no racial descrimination in fact
there is nothing to descriminate to, for everyone is equal no one is
above the other or below the rest...
Curuan is a barangay which starts to boom. It is rich in gold that some people earn their living form gold mining. Ricefields are not just good sites but they are as well productive that they can feed million sof people all over the world.
The agricultural status of Curuan is good, good land for planting, to raise a farm... We have enough water supply...
From what I have heard, it has already celsite there..both globe and smart... The time i left zamboanga it has only smart telecom there./.. good to hear there is globe already... (it is favorable in my part too, coz the network in the country where I am in does not permit to send sms thru smart only globe telecom)
Anyway!! I miss Curuan..... Keep up the good spirit curuanians>>>>>>>
