Curuan may be far from the city but not that far to deprive contituents of this barangay to be aware of what is happening in the city... It comprises of people from different races - pure zamboangueño, bisaya, muslims but they are united. There is no racial descrimination in fact there is nothing to descriminate to, for everyone is equal no one is above the other or below the rest...

Curuan is a barangay which starts to boom. It is rich in gold that some people earn their living form gold mining. Ricefields are not just good sites but they are as well productive that they can feed million sof people all over the world.

The agricultural status of Curuan is good, good land for planting, to raise a farm... We have enough water supply...

From what I have heard, it has already celsite there..both globe and smart... The time i left zamboanga it has only smart telecom there./.. good to hear there is globe already... (it is favorable in my part too, coz the network in the country where I am in does not permit to send sms thru smart only globe telecom)

Anyway!! I miss Curuan..... Keep up the good spirit curuanians>>>>>>>
