SPOT MAP Canelar, Zamboanga City
HISTORY OF CANELAR, ZAMBOANGA CITY Barangay Canelar was a quaint sitio of the City of Zambonga in the pre and post war days. So far, Canelar was the largest barrio here in Zamboanga City before the enactment of the Local Government Code of 1996 with its boundary lines in the east, the entire stretch of the Veterans Avenue expanding from the intersection of Tetuan up to Tumaga intersection. In the south it expands its wings up to the Sucabon areas. In the west, the long stretch of the San Jose-Baliwasan Roads and in the north, the boundary line is the runway that divides Barangays Sta. Maria and Canelar. The term Canelar, legend has it, that once upon a time, the barrio was the habitat of for the commercial trees known as “Canela”. Hence, the Spanish conquistadores gave its official name as “Canelar”, and since then, the term Canelar became a proverbial word.
LOCATION OF CANELAR, ZAMBOANGA CITY
Canelar is about 1.20 kilometers north of City hall. It is bounded in the east by Sucabon Creek; in the north by the airstrip serving as the natural boundary for Canelar and Sta. Maria; in the west a demarcation line has been drawn in the interior portions to separate the Barangays of Baliwasan, San Jose Cawa-Cawa'; and Sto. Niño, and in the southern portion, it is narrowed down to the long stretch of Gov. Alvarez Ave. Gov. Camins Ave. cuts Canelar from East to West. At the cross-section of Gov. Camins Ave. and Sta. Maria Ave (climaco Rd), you will find 24 hour restaurants, such as: Jollibee and Chowking. An "island" full of beautiful plants adorns the center divide.

WESTERN MINDANAO STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NURSING Zamboanga City December 2, 2013 REGIONAL DIRECTOR DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE R-IX ZAMBOANGA CITY Dear Sir/Madam: Greetings of Peace! We, the Level IV nursing students of Western Mindanao State University, College of Nursing, are currently undertaking our Community Organizing Participatory Action Research (COPAR). Our assigned area is at Bienvenido Drive, Canelar, Zamboanga City, a depressed and underserved area which needs immediate attention that immediately affects the health of the people. One of the salient problems identified during our survey and focus group discussion is a wide area with stagnant water which is the cause of the multiplication of mosquitoes and can be the cause of dengue cases and leptospirosis as verbalized by the community people. The team decided to come up with a project entitled “Tepok Peste Greenhouse”. This project aims to eradicate the breedin g sites of vectors of diseases. In this light, we are respectfully requesting for any seedling of vegetables and fruits that you have, which we believe can be used in coming up with a vegetable garden for the said locale. Hoping for your kind and sincerest approval. Respectfully yours, Jerome Anthony M. Booc Team leader
