History of Talabaan, Zamboanga City
The legend of Talabaan was recorded by Mr. Rodolfo B. Basilio, a Barangay Kagawad who interviewed Mr. Rito C. Angeles' great grandson, one of the founders of Barangay Talabaan. Here is his story:
In 1882, his great grandfather Mr. Isidro Angeles Sr. settled here in Mindanao. He hailed from Pampanga and at the age of 21 came to Mindanao, the Land of Promise in search for a better future. He settled in Zamboanga City. In the course of time, he met a beautiful girl from Talabaan, a barrio already known at that time.
Accordingly, his grandfather at age 21 while visiting his girlfriend in the barrio would cross a big river and rice fields. The nipa hut of his girlfriend was near a river and along the river can be found many small shells called "Talaba". It was such in abundance and people, young and old usually pick these shells for their daily food. They would also sell these shells in the town market.
In the end, Mr. Angeles Sr. won the heart of his girlfriend and they were married in the barrio and settled there. Two years later, the couple was blessed with a child and baptized him as Isidro Angeles, Jr. in 1885. It was Isidro Jr. who narrated what his father told the family of Mr. Basilio about the story of Talabaan.
Accordingly, after having settled in the barrio, Mr. Angeles Sr. became the Cabeza de Barangay. He named the Barangay "Talabaan" because of the abundance of shells in the river.
The barangay progressed under the Cabeza de Barangay. Farming and copra remained as major source of livelihood in the barangay. There were animals like cows and carabaos that transport the products from the barangay to the town. Soon after, a religious couple named Enriquez Saavedra and wife Mercedes, initiated the first fiesta and the patron saint was "La Virgen del Pilar" on May 31, 1945. It was during this time that the name of the barangay was modified as "Talabaan".

- 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.
