[Title] => Security remains tight in Zambo City
[Summary] => ZAMBOANGA CITY — Amid the spate of bombings in Sultan Kudarat and North Cotabato, security here was beefed up yesterday as Zamboangueños turned out in the streets for the celebration of the feast of La Virgen del Pilar, this southern port city’s patroness.

[Title] => Vamos a Zamboanga, the city of romance
[Summary] => Zamboanga is a city of romantic dreams. It dazzles you in the present and caresses you with the past. As far back as the 13th and 14th centuries, Zamboanga was already a trading hub for the Chinese, Malays and the natives. The trading tradition revolved on barter trading, the evolution of which can be seen in the city’s colorful barter markets which deal in goods from Asian neighbors down south. It was the time of native vintas sailing the seas of Zamboanga – a tradition that lives on today – and a source of pride for every Zamboangueño.
