What are transportation options and challenges in Pagadian City, Zamboanga Del Sur?

Our city is the “Little Hong Kong of the South” in the Philippines. We have mountainous terrains that are very nice to trail and hike. Our city is also known for its fishing industries and famous dried-fish products. Traveling here also is very easy because we have bus terminals that are very accessible. Aside from that, our city is also rising economically because just recently, our city was hailed to be the Regional Center of all government centers within Region nine after years of hard work of our local officials.

Pagadian City’s trademark is the “tricycle”. The front of the tricycle is upward and the back is down ward, that is why when the tourist ride it, they feel scared because they think it will fall. And I think that is the most interesting thing in my city.

Our city – Pagadian is a 2nd class city and the capital of the province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. It was not actually a promising site because it is on steeply rolling terrain. The iconic symbol of Pagadian is its uniquely designed tricycle built to adopt to the city’s hilly terrain and it’s the only place in the Philippines with a public transport inclined at about 25-40° angle.

Pagadian City is little Hong Kong in the south, for its surrounded with businesses like club bars and its balikbayan food or “pasalubong” called danggit or dried fish. Pagadian also became famous from travellers for its unique vehicles called tricycle. There are also beautiful views and adventurous places in pagadian like Alegria falls and Mt. Timulan.

Pagadian is a beautiful city. People are friendly and sincere. It is a wonderful place. People from Pagadian are called ‘Pagadianons.’ The city is made up of many sloping landscapes, which makes it pretty cool to see from any higher vantage point. Tourists will enjoy the ride with the tricycle because of its unique feature.
