Ciudad de Zamboanga's city hall has been a memorable landmark of the city for the past 100 years...This month, it inaugurates its centennial celebration by setting up Christmas lights also in preparation for the coming yuletide season...
Senator Manny Villar opened the celebration and considered it as "the most beautiful and most grandiose city hall edifice in the country...."

Should i believe him? i've never been to all the cities in the country to consider that...its unfair to claim such prestige if you dont have any basis (same is true in the field of medicine)
however, the senator must be speaking from experience during his campaign tour..
The structure itself is remarkable...the turn of the century architecture is evident...there is fusion of both European and old Filipino craftmanship from the bricks and wooden windows adorned with capiz shells...
After all, the structure was the center of a flourishing city which at that time was peacefully inhabited by people from different cultures..Spanish-Filipinos, Americans, Tausugs, Samals, Yakans, Subanons, Chinese, and the so-called Bisaya from neighboring provinces...
At present, this melting pot is still the center for trade and commerce in Region 9-the three Zamboanga provinces, Tawi-tawi, Sulu and Basilan
