Natural Resources of Sta. Catalina, 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.

Your Story about Sta. Catalina, Zamboanga City
Sta. Catalina during the 18th century, before it has gotten its name as such, was totally a mangrove or swampy area where wild animals abound. The place was totally green with mangrove, nipa or palm and others. The families of Pedro, Luna, Leonardo, Bella, Enriquez, Romero were said to be the first settlers of the place. These people are from the different parts of Zamboanga Peninsula. Their means of livelihood depended mostly on nipa weaving for nipa shingles, coconut products and whatever they catch from the rich water resource such as fish and crabs.
During that time, accessibility to the place was through Jovellar Road that ended up at the junction of Tumaga Road (now Veterans Avenue) in front of the now Zamboanga City Medical Center. From there a "trail" or commonly known as "pilapil" was connected to the interior part of he vast mangrove/swampy place.
On the other hand, from the north (Barangay Tetuan) people used to passed through the rice fields to reach the place. Just at the back of Zamboanga General Hospital, there was a big Sampaloc tree and further about 500 meters more or less inward exactly at the end of Rio Hondo (bucana in local dialect), there stood a big majestic Balete tree. All the people living in the area were afraid to go near the tree, believed to be the place of the unknown. Whenever the residents of the place go for marketing (tabu), fiesta or gathering in other places, they were occasionally asked where they live, simply they would refer the place as "alla na Sampaloc" or "Balete". Thus, in the early time before the place acquired the name "Sta. Catalina" it is known as Sampaloc or Balete.
On the onset of the 20th century, intermarriages from among the original settlers of the area and migration pressure of population have increased. And before World War II, the place was divided into two (2): Sampaloc (now Lustre) and Balete. This time the residents no longer depend largely on nipa weaving as their means of livelihood, but some had involved themselves in government employment, Philippine Scouts, farmers, carpenters and mostly laborers at the local wharf (stevedore).
Balete was also known for having big warehouses (bodegas). The city garbage site was transferred from Panigayan to the present site of Don Gregorio Evangelista Memorial School (DON GEMS). Alongside or nearby, are "red" houses controlled by a Chinese businessman and dragged into flesh trade in that area. Furthermore, the present site of DON GEMS was known also as the place were dead Japanese and Indian nationals were burned or cremated and their ashes were shipped to their respective families.
During the war, many of the families were dislocated or evacuated to safer places in the city. However, after the war, most of them returned back to Sampaloc and Balete. In late 1945, the elders, who were the respected community leaders at the time, decided to consolidate Sampaloc and Balete into one and apparently with the idea of giving it a permanent name. The original settlers being predominantly Catholic came out to name the place as "Sta. Catalina" in honor of St. Catherine de Sienna, who is considered as one of the greatest woman saints in the Catholic community, aside from the fact that, they pray for their protection from St. Catherine de Sienna from the cruelty of the Japanese soldiers during the war. From then on, the place was known as Sta. Catalina.
