TAKUSHARI

The land dubbed as "Zamboanga's Seasnake Sanctuary." Zamboanga Sibugay is fortunate to have such wonderful sights and sceneries. Scattered across the land are the majestic mountain structures, flawless waterfalls, caves that housed thousands of bats and stalactites, hot springs, and white sand beaches.

With a total land area of 322,830 hectares, the province is surrounded on the north by overlapping municipalities of Kadawit, Tampilisan and Godad in Zamboanga del Norte. On the south lies the Sibuguey Bay. West are the cities of Siaraway, Siocon and Balinguian and on the East by Bayog and Kumalarang towns located on Zamboanga del Sur.

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.
