By way of an introduction, here is a derivative version of a Department of Tourism flyer that encapsulates the essence of Zamboanga:

Welcome to Zamboanga Hermosa!

. . . the gateway to Muslimland, Southeast Asia, Southwest Pacific, and the Fareast;

. . . where the native inhabitants, bear Chinese-Malayan features but answer to American-Spanish names;

. . . where the people are traditionally warm, hospitable, and friendly, living in peace and at peace with one another notwithstanding differences in race, creed or political beliefs;

. . . where sun-drenched white and pink, tan and gray, pebbly and sandy beaches and native fishing villages dot the coastline;

. . . where the sun rises in splendor early at dawn and slowly recedes at evening fall like a ball of fire in waves of gold and crimson and purple, behind billows of gray and foamy white clouds;

. . . premier city of flowers, fruits, fish, “femmes” and of faith.
