Zamboanga City, a Latin city in Asia

Zamboanga City is a Philippine city with a sophisticate Spanish flavour. Zamboanga is the only city in Asia where the majority of the population speaks Chavacano; a language which is a blend of Spanish and Cebuano.

The city is locally known as "El Orgullo de Mindanao" (The Pride of Mindanao), nicknamed the "City of Flowers", and affectionately called by ZamboangueƱos as "Zamboanga Hermosa" - Spanish for "Beautiful Zamboanga".

Zamboanga has now being branded by the government as "Asia's Latin City".
