Otherwise known as the City of Flowers, Zamboanga City has one of the busiest ports in the island of Mindanao and in the whole country. Zamboanga's international port caters to passenger ships that ferry to other major destinations in the country like Manila, Bacolod, Dumaguete, Cebu, and Davao. There are also ferries from here to Sandakan, Malaysia.Other than being the City of Flowers, another title for the city has gained prominence and that is Asia's Latin City. This is due to the fact that the local vernacular in Zamboanga City, Chavacano, is a mix of Spanish, Cebuano, Tagalog, and other local dialects. In fact, Chavacano has more Spanish words than words in the local Filipino dialects.
