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.

Taluksangay, Zamboanga City, Philippines
Location of Taluksangay, Zamboanga City
Distance from CITY PROPER: 19 km. Location: East Coast
History of Taluksangay, Zamboanga City
Historical Background of Taluksangay: Barangay Taluksangay is situated 19 kms. East of Zamboanga City’s commercial district- it was in this village where the first Islamic culture was introduced in 1885. It was also in this village where the first Islamic Mosque was constructed.
This attests to the fact that Taluksangay was the first center of Islamic propagation in the Zamboanga Peninsula.
Since then, Muslim religious missionaries from Arabia, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Borneo have been flocking to this village- tourists all over the world, most particularly from Europe and America. Dignitaries from Islamic countries never fail to visit this place.
A representative of the Sultan of Turkey (Sheik-Al Islam) visited this place in later part of 1914.
In 1938, before the outbreak of World War II, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet visited Barangay Taluksangay, where the infamous Mosque is considered as one of Zamboanga’s tourist spots.
At the height of the MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front)- military conflict in 1973, at least 12 dignitaries, members of the Quadripartite Committee, Generals Fidel V. Ramos and Romeo Espino, visited Taluksangay village. Even at the height of trouble during the 70’s, tourists continued to arrived in this historical village.
The majority of the inhabitants of Taluksangaya are Muslims. They are religious and peace-loving. They are the descendants of the Sama Banguingui who were branded by history as pirates of Southeast Asia, but never conquered.
The founder of Taluksangay village was Hadji Abdullah Nuño Ma-as, son of Panglima Taupan, a Banguingui chieftain who was among those captured by the Spaniards.
He was educated by the Spaniards and finished his education at Collegio de San Juan de Letran where Ma-as earned his degree in “Bachelher en Artes”.
He was brought up by a Portuguese chaplain named Capt. Asealdis de Nuño. After his studies, Ma-as was allowed to return home in Zamboanga City to look for his people and relatives.
Ma-as spent some time in Basilan Province and later relocated his people and relatives in a small islet, surrounded by mangroves, separated from the main land by a creek, located 19 kms east of Zamboanga City.
He named this islet “Taluksangay” in memory of the sandy Banguingui island and the 450 women and children captured by the Spaniards. "Taluk" in Samal means violet, a favorite color of the Banguingui women while “sangay” is a sandy place where birds called “Tabon” rest and lay their eggs.
Hadji Abdullah Nuño Ma-as constructed a mosque in Taluksangay which became the first mosque in Zamboanga Peninsula and the first Islamic center recognized by foreign countries such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Borneo.
Before the conversion of the Moro Province (1903-1914) into Department of Mindanao and Sulu, Gen. John Fingley, the last governor of the Moro Province, accepted the request of Hadji Abdullah Nuño Ma-as to hand carry the latter’s letter to the Sultan of Istanbul, Turkey on his way to the US.
In accepting receipt of Ma-as’ letter, the Sultan of Istanbul sent an emissary known in the Muslim world as “Sheik-Al-Islam”, a scholar, with gifts for the Mosque of Taluksangay consisting of 6 kerosene chandeliers and six large frames with Arabic inscriptions, quoting verses from the Holy Koran written in golden letterings.
The gifts were hanged inside the mosque and thousands of Muslims from Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte, Basilan and Sulu Provinces, including Cotabato and Lanao gathered in Taluksangay- met and held dialogue with Sheik-Al-Islam.
These events have caused misunderstanding between Muslim leaders of Mindanao and Christian leaders of Luzon. It became a political issue because at that time there was a cold war between America and Germany.
The Sultan of Istanbul was an ally of Germany and Sheik-Al-Islam was suspected of organizing a Moro battalion to assist Turkey in case of a shooting war. He was ordered by the government to return to Istanbul and Gov. Gen. Fingley was relieved of his duties as governor of the Moro Province.
Despite his frustrations, Hadji Abdullah Nuño Ma-as continued communicating with heads of Muslim countries and finally missionaries from the Middle East, India, Malaysia, Indonesia and Borneo flocked to Taluksangay.

The Banguingui Tribe
The inhabitants of this community are descendants of the Baguingui tribe whose ancestors were the people living in that famous island in Sulu Archipelago.
Their main source of livelihood in those days depends on marine products which they regularly “bartered” with the neighboring countries. When this country was under Spain and Spanish authorities tried to Christianized the people and later declared an economic monopoly which included the sea products.
The people who were devout Muslims and whose livelihood depends on trade and marine products defied Spanish rule, they fought the Spaniards and Filipino collaborators who prevented them from gathering marine products and trading them with nearby countries.
The Muslim were then branded as sea pirates at one time in 1848. When majority of the male inhabitants of Banguingui were out trading, the Spanish Governor General sent an expeditionary force and captured some 450 Banguingui women and children whom the Spaniards brought to Cagayan Valley in Luzon where they were forced to work at a tobacco plantation owned by the Spanish corporation-Tabacalera.

Islamic Studies
Studies on Islamic guidelines, precepts and jurisprudence were taught in the Taluksangay Mosque by foreign scholars. They were later reduced into writing and formed into books and pamphlets, distributed to Muslim leaders under the guidance of Sheik Muhammad Bahsuan of Hadramaut, Sheik Ahmad Mustafa, Sr. of Mecca and Sheik Abdulgani of Banjermas in Borneo.
From thereon, Muslim scholars from the different parts of the world visited Taluksangay even up to this day. Islam flourished rapidly in all sitios, barrios in Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan and Sulu Archipelago.
