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.

San Ramon, Zamboanga City, Philippines
San Ramon is part of barangay Talisayan and became an integral part of it because of the penal farm. The prison personnel established their residence outside the walls of this prison. Four generations later San Ramon became an established community with its own school system.

About 100 meters in front of the main prison gate lies a beautiful beach. This is not an open beach but with the right permission the public is granted passage. There is no cover charge. Everyone can enjoy the beautiful San Ramon Beach.

Location of San Ramon, Zamboanga City

San Ramon is about 23 kilometers via the west coastline from the Zamboanga City Hall. It is a coastline barangay. To the south of San Ramon is Talisayan and Sinubong to the north.

History of San Ramon, Zamboanga City

San Ramon was first a Penal Colony.

Here is an article from one of our contributors Felino Santos - July 21, 2006

This 136 year old institution, still functioning today dating back to the late Spanish regime will soon be a thing of the past. Its misfortune, if we can call it that way , is that it stands in the way of an ambitious project of government - to invite investors to Zamboanga

The country’s second oldest penitentiary - the San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm – established in August 21, 1869 to house recalcitrant political prisoners and Moro rebels will be destroyed. It is not overcrowded or pose a threat to the community.

But - the Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone and Free Port plans to establish a seaport in the site – to bring about development to Southern Philippines. It is not even said who will use that seaport. But projects are projects for as long as there is money to spend. This still being imagined Sea Port is expected to be funded on a Build-Operate-Transfer Scheme. The financiers of this Sea Port are still to be found, but the Ecozone has already set aside some P300 million to relocate the facility to a 1,25 hectare site at Camp Pilar somewhere in the hills between Curuan, Quiniput and Bunguaio.

Construction of the facilities in the relocated penitentiary site is expected to begin August and will be ready for occupancy early next year. The Ecozone has already bidded out the construction of a dormitory, administration building and housing complex –without any consultation for specifications with San Ramon officials who are expected to occupy the place.

How can this happen in Zamboanga that prides on its Spanish and American heritage?

How can an insensitive populace or bureaucracy allow this “desecration” of a historical site. To make matters worse, the National Historical Commission has failed to declare the San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm as a historical site that should be preserved , untampered for the future generation.

An official of the San Ramon said they submitted all the documents to the National Historical Commission to declare the facility and institution as a historical site in 2001. Nobody bothered to follow the proposal to this day. So the facility is open to destruction and to be obliterated from the face of the earth.

The city council, led by Councilor Juan Kim Elago conducted a consultation hearing of the project at its P55 million building in this city last July 20 and gave the go signal to the Ecozone to proceed with the project.

HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT?

The Zamboanga Ecozone, whose top officials are Zamboangueños were the ones who initiated for the transfer of the penitentiary from San Ramon to the hills of Curuan. None of them probably thought of the historical significance of the institution to the people of Zamboanga. As a result the Department of Justice turned over the site to the Ecozone. The Ecozone will shoulder the cost of the transfer but in turn they get this choice property of earth for their use.
