==History of Zamboanga Sibugay  Province, Philippines==
The begining of Zamboanga Sibugay Province
Zamboanga Sibugay was created on February 24, 2001 during the term of Congressman George T. Hofer by Republic Act 8973. The creation of Zambonaga Sibugay as a province had a long history. It started in the 1960s when several bills were filed in the congress such as House Bill No.17574 by the late Rep Vincenzo Sagun, HB No. 8546 of Congresswoman Belma Cabilao, HB No. 341 thru Congressman Vicente M. Cerilles and the Batasan Parliamentary Bill No.ponsored by parliament members (Antonio Ceniza, Manuel M. Espaldon, Hussien Loong, Kalbi Tupay, and Minister Romulo Espaldon). All of these bills were relegated to the recesses of the archives.


In 1993, an initiative called the Zamboanga Occidental Movement ushered in a renewed political consciousness among the people of the 3rd district of Zamboanga del Sur. The movement was so intense that a People’s Initiative was conducted simultaneously with the May 1997 Barangay Elections. In this exercise, majority of the voters signed in favor of forming a new province. It was then that Congressman George T. Hofer sponsored HB No. 1311. He managed to push the bill in congress and gave it a new identity by naming the proposed province as Zamboanga Sibugay. He lobbied for its approval in the senate and had former President Joseph E. Estrada finally approve the creation of the new province.
The Zamboanga Sibugay Provincial Police office was activated as a type “C” Police Provincial Office effective September 17, 2001 pursuant to General Orders Nr. DPL 01-04 dated September 17, 2001. It was formally organized on October 16, 2001 with PSUPT ARNULFO DEL ROSARIO PEREZ as its first Police Provincial Director.
The province of Zamboanga Sibugay was created on November 17, 2000 pursuant to RA 8973 comprising of sixteen (16) municipalities with 389 Barangays. It has a total land area of 3,363.22 square kilometer or 336,332 hectares. The province is divided into 2 provincial districts. Based on the 2006 Census, the total population of the province is 572, 343 inhabitants.
Among the municipalities, Tungawan is the largest in terms of land area followed by Siay and Titay while the smallest is Talusan. Out of the sixteen (16) municipalities, Ipil is the only municipality classified as 3rd class and more than half of the municipalities are considered under the 5th class category while the rest are either 4th or 6th class.
Zamboanga Sibugay PPO has sixteen Police Stations with two Mobile Groups that serves as the maneuvering force of the Provincial Police Office

Philippines, is the only country in the world which is 85% Catholic that created FIVE(5) national laws "favoring", "promoting" and "financing" the religion of ISLAM.
Then made it unlawful to finance all other religions. Islamic insurgents paid off the architects of the 1987 constitution to insert two words: Muslim and Autonomous.
They classify all the Muslims(Moros) not only as followers of Islam but also as
indigenous people. The only country in the world that has a government commission that caters to Muslims only, for the hajj, for madrasas, and the spread of Islam at government's expense PAID by the taxes of Non-Muslims. A government-run Muslim channel, Salaam TV to promote Islam.

Religion is always good for the people but it should never be embraced or financed by government. Tax exemption is not tantamount to financing. Every non-profit organization is tax-exempt.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

History of Zamboanga Sibugay Province, Philippines

Zamboanga Sibugay was created on February 24, 2001 during the term of Congressman George T. Hofer by Republic Act 8973. The creation of Zambonaga Sibugay as a province had a long history. It started in the 1960s when several bills were filed in the congress such as House Bill No.17574 by the late Rep Vincenzo Sagun, HB No. 8546 of Congresswoman Belma Cabilao, HB No. 341 thru Congressman Vicente M. Cerilles and the Batasan Parliamentary Bill No.ponsored by parliament members (Antonio Ceniza, Manuel M. Espaldon, Hussien Loong, Kalbi Tupay, and Minister Romulo Espaldon). All of these bills were relegated to the recesses of the archives.

In 1993, an initiative called the Zamboanga Occidental Movement ushered in a renewed political consciousness among the people of the 3rd district of Zamboanga del Sur. The movement was so intense that a People’s Initiative was conducted simultaneously with the May 1997 Barangay Elections. In this exercise, majority of the voters signed in favor of forming a new province. It was then that Congressman George T. Hofer sponsored HB No. 1311. He managed to push the bill in congress and gave it a new identity by naming the proposed province as Zamboanga Sibugay. He lobbied for its approval in the senate and had former President Joseph E. Estrada finally approve the creation of the new province.

The Zamboanga Sibugay Provincial Police office was activated as a type “C” Police Provincial Office effective September 17, 2001 pursuant to General Orders Nr. DPL 01-04 dated September 17, 2001. It was formally organized on October 16, 2001 with PSUPT ARNULFO DEL ROSARIO PEREZ as its first Police Provincial Director.

The province of Zamboanga Sibugay was created on November 17, 2000 pursuant to RA 8973 comprising of sixteen (16) municipalities with 389 Barangays. It has a total land area of 3,363.22 square kilometer or 336,332 hectares. The province is divided into 2 provincial districts. Based on the 2006 Census, the total population of the province is 572, 343 inhabitants.

Among the municipalities, Tungawan is the largest in terms of land area followed by Siay and Titay while the smallest is Talusan. Out of the sixteen (16) municipalities, Ipil is the only municipality classified as 3rd class and more than half of the municipalities are considered under the 5th class category while the rest are either 4th or 6th class.

Knowledge Channel returns to Zamboanga Sibugay

(The Philippine Star) Updated April 02, 2009 12:00 AM

Photo (from left) Rep. Dulce Ann Hofer, Zamboanga Sibugay Congresswoman, Sen. Loren Legarda, and Rina Lopez Bautista.

MANILA, Philippines - The Knowledge Channel is back in Zamboanga Sibugay! This time connecting six more schools through a grant from Sen. Loren Legarda and the support of Gov. George Hofer and Rep. Dulce Ann Hofer.

At the turnover ceremony at Ipil Heights Elementary School last February 26, Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) President and Executive Director Rina Lopez Bautista said that KCFI is not launching its partnership with Sen. Legarda or Zamboanga Sibugay, but rather, renewing old ties.

The Knowledge Channel has had a positive impact on the connected schools in Zamboanga Sibugay, helping to increase scores of students in schools with high utilization levels, and of this, Lopez Bautista said, “It also humbles us to realize that it is not only the children that we have affected, but also the communities where these schools are as well.”

Legarda addressed the school, saying that the quality of education in Sibugay has improved as a result of having the Knowledge Channel and adding, “That proves that our weapon against poverty and ignorance is knowledge in Science, Math, and English.” She went on to tell the students how lucky they are to have access to the Knowledge Channel, saying, “You are privileged that you will be able to watch quality programs that give not only entertainment, but knowledge as well.”

Economy of Zamboanga Sibugay Province, Philippines

The main economy is based on rice and corn milling, food processing, baking, rattan and wood furniture production. Additional businesses in concrete products, wax and candle factories, clothing, and other local industries are improving the new province's economic outlook.

Agriculture products include rice, vegetables, corn, root crops, coconuts, fruit trees, coffee, cacao, tobacco and rubber. Livestock and poultry productions are locally sustained and require additional investments.

Tungawan Mariculture Zone, Sibugay
Launched – March 03, 2007
Area – 500 Hectares
Mariculture farming in The Philippines

The local government is pushing for the extension of the fish port in Taytay Manobo in the municipality of Naga in order to expand its mariculture and fishing industries. The local economy is conducive to extensive mariculture, which is the farming of aquatic plants and animals in salt water. Thus, mariculture represents a subset of the larger field of aquaculture, which involves the farming of both fresh-water and marine organisms. The major categories of mariculture species are seaweeds, mollusks, crustaceans, and finfish.

As of early 2009, The Philippines has 40 Mariculture Parks in operation and out of the 11 in Mindanao, one is located in Tungawan, Province of Zamboanga Sibugay. Mariculture parks operate much like industrial estates on land, with investors setting up or renting fish cages to grow high-value marine species such as bangus, lapu-lapu, siganids, seaweeds and other high-value aquatic organisms. Mariculture parks are not only practical and economical but are also ecologically friendly. There is no need to cut a single mangrove tree in raising bangus, in a sea cage, and is also more economical because it would cost only about P150,000 to put up a sea cage while development cost for a hectare of fishpond would reach about P1 million, according to a recent Philippine Senate hearing.

Additional Senate data encourages that mariculture yields can reach as much as five tons in a 10x10x 5 meter-sea cage inside a mariculture park, which is the same as in a one-hectare fish pond. With production cost of P70.00-P75.00 per kilo, a fish farmer could easily earn some P90,000.00 per cropping per cage or a total of P 180,000.00 for two cropping periods per year. Additionally, to further increase earnings, a fish farmer can also grow danggit or samaral in sea cages in tandem with bangus under a system called aqua-polyculture. After one cropping with 1,680 pieces fingerlings, the danggit catch could reach an estimated 100 kilos, which could easily fetch an additional cash of P8,800.00.

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.

Kaya Iloilo sweeps Group B in Copa '21

MANILA – Kaya Iloilo pipped Mendiola with a 6-0 beating on Wednesday night to complete a sweep of Group B action in the Copa Paulino Alcantara at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

A Jovin Bedic brace in the first half set the tone for the inaugural tournament champ even as the club netted three goals in each of the two halves to seal the top seed in its group ahead of the semifinals next week.

Bedic capitalized on an erroneous Mendiola attempt to keep the ball out of his reach and quickly raced inside the penalty box to open the scoring for Kaya Iloilo in the 11th minute.
