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 Cabatangan, Zamboanga City

Long before the coming of the Spaniards to Zamboanga, the places here had no name. It was only upon the arrival of the Spaniards when the places here got their names. This is how Cabatangan was named.

The first thing that the Spaniards did on their arrival was to go sight-seeing and get better acquainted with the place and the people. One day, the Spaniards reached the place where they saw natives trekking down the hills carrying long bamboo tubes which apparently were to be filled with water from the river.

Though the Spaniards did not know the dialect, their curiosity was such that one of them asked the natives, what the name of their village was. Thinking that the former wanted to know what they were carrying, the natives answered “Batango”.

After the incident, the place was called “CABATANGAN” by the Spaniards.

Your Story about Cabatangan, Zamboanga City

I now reside in Quezon City but i grew live in Cabatangan for about 10 years. My family moved in from Sta. Maria to Cabatangan in 1990. At that time we could still visit the mosque in Lupong which was the former head office of ARMM when Zamboanga City was still part of it. I remember that there used to be a park near the mosque. We used to walk our way there and play the whole afternoon. Houses in our barangay at that time were far from each other. The nearest neighbor we had was a 5 minute walk from our place.

I remember during my high school days at the Regional Science High School, which is just located in San Roque, just a 15 minute walk from our house, i used to take my barkada to the falls on the upper part of cabatangan. i think it was called Pozo Grande. We spend the whole afternoon of saturdays bathing on the clear waters of Pozo Grande. There was this time when rain caught us on our way and we arrived at our place all soaked up. Since I left Zamboanga to pursue college in UP, i never had the chance to visit Pozo Grande anymore. There were lots of memories we had in that place. Im looking forward to visit Pozo Grande when i go home this Christmas.

I have lived in Zamboanga City for years & moved to America in 1994.My mom Mary Kuan,& my dad Antonio Aizon bought land from Mr. Machado in 1987 & started construction on our house a year later. I never wanted to leave Cabatangan, I had the greatest friends & a lot of family down the street in Pasonanca. The people of Cabatangan are the most humble,& generous.(real people!) I miss it there so much, my grandfather; Rafael Yap Aizon recently passed away,& I regreted not being able to attend his funeral.

As I recall Cabatangan was famous for it's massive statue of a human with a head of an Eagle. When I was a child we used to go there on Sundays where my aunt tried (as in tried but never did) to learn how to drive and we nearly fell into the rice fields. But I bet the rice fields are long gone now!
