Rough roads are
crossed before Zamboanga Sibugay
became a separate district. In
the early 1900’s this province
has been a part of Zamboanga del
Sur and it was on the 60’s
that a billed was first
attempted at congress. Many
legislators have battled just to
make this bill filed and be
heard in congress. With the
never-ending support and
dedication of Congressman George
Hofer, the name Zamboanga
Sibugay was born.
Due
to its strategic location,
fishing industry is their
primary and main source of
living. The Tantanan Bay is the
biggest fish haven found in the
region with a total land area of
five hectares. Another bountiful
fish sanctuary is found in the
city of Talusan, called
Takushari. Other industries are
rice and corn milling, food
processing and rattan and wood
furniture construction. The main
harvest is composed of rice,
corn, coconuts, rubber, fruit
trees, vegetables, tobacco,
coffee, cacao and root crops.
