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.

Location of Patalon, Zamboanga City

Patalon is a coastal barangay. Located about 31 kilometers from City Proper on the west coast.

History of Patalon, Zamboanga City

Patalon was earlier inhabited by some Filipino tribes or Subanons. They have toiled and sweat much to make this area a coconut producing barrio. A Subanon Datu took hold of some of the land.


Later, he divided the land in his possession and sold part to a German. The German died during the Second World War and presently a sitio of this place is still owned and managed by the descendants of the German buyer named the sitio Patalon Plantation.


The name Patalon derived from the word "patag" or level land.


As years go by, migration rate was also increasing along with influence of business. Christians paved their ways and found the barrio suitable place for livelihood, hence making this a permanent place for residence. However, it is made up of several sitios. The mountain portion of this barangay is called Busugan, which was named after the native word "busug" or fully satisfied because of the abundance of foods and fruits.


Malandi is another sitio named after the word "landi" which means plenty of flirty women, perhaps long before there were flirty women in that sitio. Pulanglupa is another sitio named after the color of the soil which is red. The other sitio is Balicacas which means "casca" or peel off. This is the center of all sitios where the Patalon Elementary School, the Health Center and the Patalon Multi-Purpose Hall are located.


Another sitio is Miluao which means plenty of sexy/beautiful women. Another sitio in mountain portion is called Malubog which means muddy or not clear and dark because of the big trees and bushes surrounding them. That's why they dared to name it Malubog. The two (2) newly created sitios are the Parfamco and the Sto. Niño Village.
