Zamboanga forgotten?

THE EAR - The Philippine Star
December 1, 2013 | 12:00am

FORGOTTEN? A Cebuano mediaman residing in Zambonga City feels aggrieved that after the typhoon in Leyte and the earthquake in Bohol, the "so-called good samaritans" in the private sector and the government seem to have forgotten Zamboanga.

 

HELP NEEDED. "Zamboanga was badly destroyed by war and many are homeless until now," the mediaman said: "Subo kaayo, Sir, nga mura'g nalimtan mi...tungod ba kay dili bagyo ug linog ang miguba sa among dapit kun dili ang katarantadohan sa mga rebelde?"
