- If you already have your own site, use this site as a supplement. You will get more exposure to TOURISTS and INVESTORS. Link to it specially for the barangay pages.
- There are sites out there that will provide you with a free webpage. But then you have to create if from scratch. The site that we provide you already has content. It is not an empty shell.
- Most importantly all the regions, provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays are linked. Nobody else in the world has this. Nobody!

Zambowood, Zamboanga City, Philippines
Location of Zambowood, Zamboanga City
- Location: East Coast
- Distance from CITY PROPER: 12 Km.
It is bounded on the northeast by Barangay Mercedes; on the southeast by the river bank of Mercedes; on the northwest by the Maria Clara L. Lobregat national Highway; and on the southwest by Barangay Boalan.
History of Zambowood, Zamboanga City
On the record, one thousand and two hundred sixteen (1, 216) residents of Zambowood community have filed a petition for the creation of their community into a regular Barangay. They stated in their petition that in 1983, the Barangay Captain of Boalan, this city, who used to exercise control and supervision over the affairs of their community, had relinquished his responsibility in favor of the Barangay Captain of Mercedes. Barangay Mercedes is quite far from Zambowood community hence, the petitioners said that they found it difficult to bring their problems to the attention of the Barangay Captain of Mercedes.
The residents of Zambowood were mostly farmer-employees of the Zamboanga Wood Products, Inc., a plywood manufacturing company, which has long ponds and sawmill in the area.
Today, the community has grown leaps and bounds with the inhabitants devoting to some worthwhile endeavors- such as farming and cottage industries. The residents share common experiences and move in unity of purpose. Their welfare can be served better if their potentials for good and effective community leadership will be harnessed, and if given this opportunity to govern by and for themselves, the growth and development of their community will be fast. The community is very promising for industrial growth, development and expansion. The grant of separate and distinct political identity to this Barangay is well to the pragmatic approach of the City Government towards the countryside development.
Delivery of basic social services in the fields of health, housing, education and even on sports, among others will surely be realized with dispatch because the area is very much suitable for the purpose.
The enactment of this Ordinance is imperative. The constitutional guarantee of local autonomy aimed to instill dynamic leadership of our community leaders to promote the general welfare of the residents can earnestly be served and the program of the city government for outward expansion is better programmed, hence, the collective desire of the residents for a separate and distinct Barangay must be granted.
It was created into a barangay under Ordinance No. 113 on May 29, 1991 and ratified on October 25, 1992. It was taken from Barangay Mercedes.

Natural Resources of Zambowood, 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.
