This is the concluding article to the series on the Zamboanga Museum. This last part is on Zamboanga City after 1946 and Philippine independence.

| Diorama showing the Zamboanga City Hall as it looked like right after the American Period. The building is preserved and still in great condition. Some buildings nearby that probably was from the same era have also managed to survive including one hosting a branch of BPI. The building is witness to much of Zamboanga's history including historical figures like the late Mayor Climaco. |

| Write-up on Zamboanga under the Philippine Republic. Similar to the other write-up in the previous articles in this series, there is a Chavacano version and an English version. |

| Maps showing the evolution of what was Zamboanga Province in 1946 (note the inclusion of Basilan) into the current Zamboanga Peninsula comprised of 3 provinces (Zamboanga Del Norte, Zamboanga Del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay) and Zamboanga City. |
Zamboanga's history is very interesting to me and continues to pique my curiosity. I have grown to like the city and its people. I have experienced their hospitality and witnessed how we can live in harmony given the supposed differences among people of different religions and cultures.
