The Philippines has been a "decentralized" form of government since 1991, contrary to what most Filipinos think. Ever since the creation of Republic Act 7160, each LGU is responsible for its own domain. Even the smallest LGU the barangay creates its own Budget. It is not dependent on handouts from the city, municipality or province. "IMPERIAL MANILA IS A MYTH!", it does not exist anymore. The Philippine budget formulation system is not centralized. "Budgetary planning has been DECENTRALIZED since 1991". It is the responsibility of each LGU to submit their budgetary needs for review. Failure to submit is the problem.

History of Tugbungan, Zamboanga City

Tugbungan originated from two words: “Tubug” meaning to wallow and “NGAN” the sound the carabao makes. Joining these two words became the popular name now “TUGBUNGAN”.

Long before, we can find many carabaos in the swampy areas and in vacant plaza of this place. Whole day, these carabaos spend the day in these places that sometimes the owners do not even bother to bring their carabaos in their homes at night.

Tugbungan long ago was one of the sleeping barangays for it was so peaceful and silent. There were only a few people residing in the place.

Tugbungan is 4.5 kms away from the heart of the city with an area of 380.7098 hectares. There roads were not passable before and there was even no potable water connection at all. The means of transportation was by trail on foot. There was no school for children to go and all they did was travel to Barangay Tetuan.

The main source of Tugbungan River is Barangay Pasonanca, then passing through Tumaga, then portion of Guiwan, then Tetuan, all the way to Tugbungan being the last barangay before reaching the mouth of the seashore.

Tugbungan also was once a picnic site for the neighboring Barangays like Talon-Talon and Mampang. That’s why on weekends the river of Tugbungan was full, that these neighboring barangays used to come on board their push carts, sometimes calesa and carro (drawn by carabaos or cows).

Your Story about Tugbungan, Zamboanga City

Submitted_by: Bram de Korte

Hello there, my name is Bram de Korte and I am maried with Ana Bejerano from Tugbungan. Last year we ware on holiday in Zamboanga and we had a nice time. For me,it was the first time to see the Philippines and I was realy surprised to see your place, from the first moment I felt at home.

The people are friendly and they have not so much stress like we have in europe maybe because of the weather. There are a few things the government has to change, that is the system of collecting the garbage ( keep your city clean ) and the pollution of the vehicles is very bad for the health of the people.

Anyway I like your place very much and I hope to visit your place in two years again. Now Tugbungan is added to your site, I hope I can find more information sometimes.

Greetings from the Netherlands.
