User:Barangay Putik

Historical Background

Long before the coming of the Spaniards to Zamboanga, the place has no name. And this is how Putik got its name…..

At the time when the Spaniards occupied Zamboanga, they usually go around to see different places. One day, they met a tradesman who came from Luzon. The tradesman accompanied by the Spaniards went sight-seeing around the place. It was a rainy season that time and the soil seemed like clay, and so it was slippery. While they were walking, one of the Spaniards stumbled down. He suddenly stood up and asked the trader what was the name of the place. He answered “putik”, he meant muddy. That knowing the tradesman does not know Spanish.

From that time and until now, they call this place as PUTIK.
