Zamboanga Peninsula, Southwestern peninsula in Mindanao, Philippines.
The peninsula spans 14,500 square kilometers, bordered by the Sulu Sea to the north and west, with the Moro Gulf to the south.
Spanish colonizers established military outposts in 1569, using the peninsula as a defense point against local resistance and maritime raids.
The Subanen people represent the largest indigenous group in the region, sharing the land with Muslim communities influenced by the Sultanate of Sulu.
The region contains three provinces - Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga Sibugay, and Zamboanga del Sur - with Pagadian serving as the administrative center.
The northern section features fertile volcanic soil from Mounts Ampiro and Malindang, supporting cultivation of rice, corn, sugarcane, tobacco, and abaca.
