Information:

Its been jus a few months I left Pasonanca and went here in the United States. but I really missed my hometown already especially the Carmen Valley Subdivision where my house is. Pasonanca is a very nice place especially for the nature lover one. If u lived in that area, and you have visitor from other places you don't need to go far to treat them or unwind them, if you like to treat them in a restaurant you can bring them jus walking distance, if they like sight seeing jus bring them to the park or to the river and many more. If any body can read this mesg fr Pasonanca, jus extend my regard to Ma'am Beth Arquiza and her Family

ZAMBOANGA TREE HOUSE
Elizabeth Stafford
Pasonanca Park Tree-House
September 30, 1963


From the heart of an Acacia tree
Come these words from me to thee
In a tree-house I now stay
My third day, out Zamboanga way.

Leafy boughs frame screen-tight windows
and sky is etched in swaying palm-frond rows.

Beyond shines the Celebes Sea
while close around "my" tree
Brilliant bougainvilla reaches up to me.

The rainbow tips a bird's wing
While friendly Filipino voices sing.
In pretty Pasonanca Park
Where Tree-House living is a lark
A stream-fed pool
Invites a swim that's cool.

There's room for two
But one alone "can do"
With frig and lights
And comfort for all rites.

At dusk and dawn
A cricket combo will help you yawn.
Rare fruits tease
Sun-sweet breezes please.

How much: much No price!
It's just to be nice
To City Guests who stay
Out Zamboanga way.

But of pesos -- leave a few
La Lavandera will wash for you.

This sweet little scheme
For enchantment - whose dream?
That of Cesar Climaco, a mayor
With imagination of his mind plus hair.

For every visitor out Zamboanga Way
This my heart is glad to say.
