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.

The bolong beach faces east. The sand is very fine and clean. There is no under-tow. You can be in the water 50 feet into the sea and still be neck deep in water only.

History of Bolong, Zamboanga City

Once, there was an old Muslim man who was holding a jelly fish near the seashore when suddenly a Spaniard came by and asked him, “What is that?” The latter replied “bulong” which means jelly fish. From then on, the Spaniards modified the word as the name of the place to remind him of its origin.

Years after, the Spaniards held over Bolong and had constructed two (2) water tanks (concreted) beside the Parish Church and Bolong Elementary School plaza. The presence of the Spaniards amidst the residents resulted in the development of a unique dialect, chavacano, a mixture of Spanish and the native dialects which is still the predominant medium of communication until the present time.

On October 12, 1936, Zamboanga became a chartered city under Commonwealth Act No. 39. Months later, this coastal village became a Barangay of the City of Zamboanga upon enactment of Commonwealth Act, s. 1937. article from Zamboanga city governtment
