Zamboanga City has the Air Force, Army, Marines, the Southern Command of the Philippines or South-Com, and the Police." this is against Wikipedia policy. --Conor Fallon (talk) 00:53, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Zamboanga City →  – Rename as per WP:MOSPHIL. As a general rule, Philippine cities are only titled with "City" when they share the same name with a province, regardless if they are independent or HUC's. For example: the city of Surigao whose province is now divided into north and south, hence not anymore sharing the same name as its former province. Relisted.

---Zamboanga City---
Historically, Zamboanga City is the actual territory of the Peninsular Kingdom of Jambangan which was later renamed and became Hispanized during the Spanish Era known as "Zamboanga" and which later after the defeat of the last Spanish Bastion against the REvolunario Zamboangueños under the leadership of Gral. Vicente Alvarez, he Alvarez and his people declared and establish an Independent nation, a new nation independent from any foreign interference known as "Republica de Zamboanga" with "Zamboangueño Chavacano as its Official Language and Spanish as its Co-Official Language".
In short, Jambangan is only actually the former Republica de Zamboanga and the Present-day "Zamboanga City" with an exclusion of the present-day Siocon, Sirawai, Sibuco and Zamboanga Sibugay.
reference: http://www.google.com.bh/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.ph%2Fimages%2Fuploads%2Fmap04.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.ph%2Fevolution-of-the-revolution%2F&h=1280&w=1000&tbnid=DpWqVpz8hBK9LM%3A&zoom=1&docid=rA93RKys9cGDJM&ei=sa9BU630G-yU0gGQsgE&tbm=isch&ved=0CEgQhBwwFTj0Aw&iact=rc&dur=192&page=19&start=500&ndsp=30
So, this is the main reason we the Zamboangueños always explain that Zamboanga City is not part or never became part any of the existing "zamboanga Provinces: del Sur, del Norte and Sibugay", and that those people who are living outside the present-day Zamboanga City are not "Zamboangueño". as well, the term "Zamboangueño" is not a demonym but an "Ethnic Group/Race" who has their own distinct Culture, Identity and Language.

message: Several times I've been notice that some people in here, I don't know maybe from Imperial Manila who happens to be a Tagalog Ethnic keep on including their hegemonic language in our Zamboangueño - Zamboanga City page. There is no need for that, we need our native language to rule here over others with the exception of English as a Neutral and Non-biased language Ethno-linguistically. I think, Tagalogs should stop bothering us NON-Tagalogs people.
Anyway, I will try to be patient until we finally shifted to a new system of government, i.e. Federal-parliamentary government, that way, we can finally distance ourselves from the Hegemonic Manila IMperialism and Tagalog Colonialism.Soy Un Orgulloso Latino Zamboangueño 23:08, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
