History of Bunguiao, Zamboanga City
The folklore goes: There was a hunter with a rifle. He shot a wildcat, did not kill it but simply wounded it. The sound of the rifle and the cry of the cat, "Bung" - "Ngiao", became a nick name for the hunter who lived in the area, because he was such a "bad-shot". So whenever anyone was asked where they were heading, and if it's the direction of the hunter's house, they would reply "towards Bung-Ngiao's place". The name stuck.
Bunguiao became a Barangay of Zamboanga City by Virtue of Commonwealth Act No. 39, series of 1937.
The Barangay elected its first Barrio Lieutenant after the enactment of Republic Act 1254 (June 10, 1956). Prior to that year, Bunguiao was under the leadership of a Cabeza del Barrio.
It started as a small community in the late 19th or 20th century. During the 1930’s, Bunguiao had its first community chapel constructed under the able leadership of Mr. Jacinto Lovo. The first chapel was built at Zone 4 area where the present house of Mr. Arturo Pangilinan now stands, and was constructed of light materials of wood and nipa.
When World War II broke out, the chapel was temporarily transferred to Sitio Siguinan on the lot of Mr. Jacinto Lovo. After the war, it was transferred back to its original site. By then, the surrounding area of the chapel became filled with residential houses that.
It was around the 1950’s that the chapel was transferred to its present location on the lot of the late Doña Valeria Camins Paulino, mother of the present Punong Barangay.
Bunguiao became a parish in 1992 and on the same site where the last chapel was built, now stands the Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church.

Natural Resources of Bunguiao, Zamboanga City
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power. We have too many black outs.

I like surfing the net and it made me sad that Bunguiao has no information or data available. Fortunately my mother is here with me at the moment, by the way I live in Australia. My mother is like a walking history book of Bunguiao she now resides in South San Francisco USA & is presently here with me on holiday and will go back to US via Phil on March2001.
Bunguiao is situated 32 kilometers from the city of Zamboanga and can be reached through a detour between Sanggali and Bolong with a voting population of approximately 7000. Bunguiao is composed of sitios Suiginan, Manga, Licopon, Calingat, Sapa Seco, Campo Lourdes, Waray-waray, Baluno, Nanka, San Isidro and Campo Socorro.
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.
