SPECIAL Z-PROGRAM

Actual photo of Zamboanga Bulbul is non-existent in scientific world, but is similar to the Philipine Bulbul (photo), yet larger with a darker crown.

Zamboanga Bulbul

(Ixos rifigularis)

 

We recommend this endemic passerine bird to be named the official bird of Zamboanga City, and bestowed legalized city  protection, with introduction of a special cultivation program in the watershed preserve to help  remove it from the world's near-threatened bird species. 

Z-Best Call Center Location

Zamboanga IS the best area for any Call Center business. Local Human Resources for fluent English speakers and Spanish understanding is ideally abundant from renowned colleges and universities. Most national call centers recruit heavily in Zamboanga. Take advantage of one of a handful of tax  Special Economic Zones in the P.I., beautifully located above verdant hills overlooking Sulu Sea (West) & Basilan Straight (South), with dozens of visible emerald islands and their pink / white sandy beaches in the near distance. One of the fastest growing cities with the #1 GDP growth area in the country -an unbelievable 7.2% in 2005! Wow!
