Monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga!!

Invest
in Zamboanga City!!!
No matter

and it is the #1 growth area in the Philippines in spite, or as a
result, of their constant wailings, what or where does that leave
Manila, Forrest? Answer us... you stupid or something?

They also requested help in rebuilding the abandoned San Jose Fort, which was systematically destroyed over time by the Moro pirates in their show of despise against the symbol of Spanish occupation. >>> Continue Reading >>>
