HOW THE VISION CAM ABOUT AND WHAT IT MEANS

By: Johnny R. Gaspar
City Planning and Development Coordinator
City of Zamboang

The 21 – word Vision of the City of Zamboanga was not really or entirely the output of just over one hundred Zamboangueños who participated in the actual Visioning Workshop held on October 23-24, 1997 at the Grand Astoria Hotel, Zamboanga City. Definitely the speeches of Gov. Rene Dalman of Zamboanga del Norte, Gov. Isidro Real, Zamboanga del Sur, Honorable Vitaliano D. Agan of Zamboanga City and the Honorable Representative of the Lone District of Zamboanga City, Honorable Maria Clara Lorenzo Lobregat, contributed much. So did the presentations of twelve sectoral study team members of the U.P. PLANADES. At the end of the day on October 23 there was as many visions formulated as there to consolidate their twelve visions, so much of what was the vision five years ago kept coming back. Consider the 1992 version of the vision:

            A World Class Garden City in a free trade Zone, the
            Southern Philippine.  Gateway to the ASEAN and the World.

About half of those who participated in the 1992 Visioning must have come back that 23^rd of October 1997, but coincidentally, nobody thought of bringing back the old vision and so looks at the 1997 vision.

A GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE, CULTURALLY ENRICHED GARDEN CITY BY AN EMPOWERED COMMUNITY WITH A FREE TRADE ZONE, BALANCED ECOLOGY AND SUSTAINANBLE DEVELOPMENT

Clearly the following familiar terms are back: globally competitive, another way of saying World Class: Garden City, free trade zone.

Clearly too, there are improvements or an enhancement; culturally enriched and empowered community in a balanced ecology and pursuing sustainable development.

The new vision as all visions should be, really reflects what the Zamboangueños – the empowered community – recently empowered by the restoration of democracy and devolution of local autonomy, the rejection of an attempt to impose unwanted and superfluous regional autonomy and recovery of regional hegemony in commerce, industry and education as well as public administration – have retained and will continue to retain.

The global competition refers to the quality of goods and services that |Zamboanga will reduce and export to the world via Free Port and Economic Zone as well as the Regional Agricultural and Industrial Center, both situated in the city.

Culturally enriched are the happy blending of both the Christian or Western Culture and the Muslim or oriental culture mix evidenced in the languages spoken, customs followed, fashion promoted and the enduring Chavacano language – more Spanish than native but still distinct, elegant, logical and romantic as any Filipino dialect. Garden city is nothing else but the old “jambangan” a place pr pot of flowers which still blossom in many Chavacano home- no longer confined to the bandera española or bougainvilleas, but flowers, if the gallant adventurer is looking for a future bride, are still here; lovely and comely still: “las bellas dalgas que adornan su jardin”. The garden city, in fact, survives to this day because of the balanced ecology that the new breed of environment-conscious Zamboangueños are fearlessly committed to protect: against illegal woodcutters, greedy sand and gravel haulers, “slashing and burning Kaingineros” and aquatic exterminators-dynamite fishers included. Needless to add, the Garden City is evident too in the Agri-based industrialization going on, the restoration of Pasonanca Park, Vista del mar and Bolong Beach, Island resorts and development of Bog Lake at Calarian.

Sustainable development is the be-all and end-all purpose of human pursuits, of all efforts of the Zamboangueños in replenishing the wealth of the forest, agricultural lands, rivers and seas for all generations to come-not only for the urban dwellers but for visiting tourist, foreign and domestic and immigrants decided to stay and be a real ZAMBOANGUEÑOS: firm, God-loving, Humane.
