DIPOLOG CITY – Traveling to Dipolog City, the provincial capital of Zamboanga del Norte, from Zamboanga City and passing through areas of Zamboanga Sibugay, as well as interacting with government officials and personnel to include those from Zamboanga del Sur, give us an opportunity to reflect on the differences between the regular administrative region articulated under Republic Act 7160 and our own Bangsamoro autonomous region stipulated in Republic Act 1054 .
One noticeable feature going around Zamboanga Peninsula is the ease and safety of travel with a well-connected road network. We can now travel directly from Ipil to Sindangan when before we must travel first to Pagadian City to reach Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte. Noticeable across the national highway in Zamboanga del Norte is its expansion from 2-lane to 4-lane expressway, and the old asphalts giving way to new concrete roads.
Poverty continues to be one of the pressing challenges for Zamboanga Peninsula and the BARMM. BARMM leads in the highest subsistence incidence nationwide in three basic sectors – individuals living in urban areas, senior citizens, and migrant and formal sector workers. Zamboanga Peninsula leads in five basic sectors – farmers, fisherfolks, individuals living in rural areas, self-employed, youth and persons with disabilities.
