Taluksangay

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:53:49

Muslim and Christian communities live together peacefully in this settlement about 18km northeast of Zamboanga City. Like Rio Hondo, it’s built partially out over the water; a mosque with red minarets built in 1885, the oldest on the Zamboanga Peninsula, dominates the skyline. The same sort of unwritten rules for visitors as Rio Hondo apply here; wear appropriate clothing and ask if you want to take photos. Jeepneys go to Taluksangay (35 minutes), or alternatively you can hire a taxi to take you there and back for around P150.
