Zamboanga Adventure: Exploring Asia's Latin City (Zamboanga Golf Course and Beach Park)


Wazzup Pilipinas!
Golfers are considered elite because golf is a precision club and ball sport which requires a lot of patience. It is a very slow sport that will never excite me at all. Don't hate me when I say "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with certain rules" is really boring.

But that doesn't stop me from enjoying my time exploring a certain golf course in Zamboanga. However, maybe the fact that it has a beach park beside it was good enough reason why I found it really pleasing. So when I get bored trying to put my balls in a hole...wait that sounded wrong...anyway, I can just walk a few steps and get all wet and wild at the bitch...Oooppss....I mean the beach. Lol!

The Zamboanga Golf Course and Beach Park, originally known as the Zamboanga Golf and Country Club, is located some 5 km from the city hub in Upper Calarian west of the city. It boasts of being the oldest golf course in the Philippines. But wait, though the golf course has been around for ages, the maintenance and renovation of the place was impeccable!


Zamboanga Adventure: Exploring Asia's Latin City (Fort Pilar)


Wazzup Pilipinas!

To continue with our tour of Zamboanga, Asia's Latin City where you'll get hooked on eating tiger prawns, curachas, and knickerbockers, or if you're the more adventurous, you could have indulged on the satti for early morning breakfast. We now take you to a few more popular places we've explored while  immersed between birdwatching and celebrating Zamboanga Day through its many festivities and activities.

Above you'll see another popular landmark and heritage site called Fort Pilar or Real Fuerza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza (Royal Fort of Our Lady of the Pillar of Zaragoza). The 17th-century military defense fortress built by the Spanish colonial government is now a regional museum of the National Museum of the Philippines.

What you see outside the walls at the eastern side is a Marian shrine dedicated to Our Lady of the Pillar, the patroness of Zamboanga city. The insides of Fort Pilar was under renovation when we visited sometime end of February 2014. They told us it was supposed to have been completed already it the Zamboanga siege did not take place.

Manny Pacquiao Wins Rematch Against Timothy Bradley and We All Know Who Stole the Show


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Manny Pacquiao wins vs Timothy Bradley via unanimous decision last April 13, 2014. The Pambansang Kamao ng Pilipinas regains world title with decisive win over Timothy Bradley. The Pacman is back where he belongs! After 12 full rounds of action, ringside judges score in favor of Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao back in legendary fighting form with the best pound for pound ever! Looks like he's back on that stuff that Mayweather called him out on. Gayweather you are the next on the list. Put down your Barbie doll and fight! I ought to Photoshop Bradley out of the photos and put yours instead, and that would still look right!

I guess the other breaking news now is Kim Henares is having a hearty working lunch with calculator and spreadsheet on hand. But no! I stand corrected, the real breaking news is how Mommy Dionisia steals the show with the "kulam" (hex) powers. Whatever it was, it worked! Pacquiao's mother was there casting spells like a witch. Manny Pacquiao's mom was the real winner last night!

I guess Hogwarts can now considering Mommy D to be their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I would love to see Mommy Dionisia guest on the Ellen Degeneres Show and show us again that magical pray over. It would be a riot, if ever, and a fun episode to watch. She might as well show off her ballroom dancing skills and do the split for the audience. Now that would put everyone at awe!
