I just heard this news actually from office mates, the queen of spain arrived yesterday and is here in Zamboanga City! I heard that she got curious lol as we are called Asia's Latin City..
This is interesting, i guess she is interested in the heritage and history of our city plus our dialect is similar to that of the Spanish.
i wonder if we get to see her. interesting. just saw some of her pictures in the news paper.

Well, according to rumors, We have been receiving royalty from their country for many years now and maybe the queen has at last decided to see for herself this city which have been claiming to have preserved many Spanish heritage. One bad rumor I have heard though is that, most if not all of the royalty money given was never used by the city but went into the mayor's pocket. I just hope that's not true because I really respected and liked Ma'am Caling, although I couldn't say the same for her son, the present mayor.

The late Mayor Caling, to her I have great respect and appreciation, but as for the present mayor, I guess you could say the exact opposite. I am actually relieved that he is not going to run for mayor this year (we all know that it's just because he can't, otherwise he would).

Well i actually do not believe the mayor will do that, i actually have faith in him especially the Late Mayor Caling, many of his people i guess are the ones corrupt - that i believe because of course they would present projects blahblah and they were the ones putting the projects in action thus been given budgets... but then again we never know right?

Yes, she's here and hope you will get the chance to see her.
I haven't seen one in real life too, although we know very well they are human like us and nothing special about them but the crown :)

And the wealth, the attention, the jewels.. the list goes on and on. But they return to dust just as much as we do.

Well, still now I did not see any king or queen alive on this earth. I believed that the kings and queens was only in the past but anyway its quite a surprising to know that there are some queens as well as kings around me. I think this is an golden opportunity to see the queen and I hope you don't miss it

I've never heard of your city but it sure does sound interesting. And for the record I didn't know Spain has a queen.

Mine too(Malaysia). But I hardly care how the prince and princesses look like, because they are hardly Prince William and Prince Harry :D Our king is real old now, I think.

Speaking of Spain, the Philippine government should have not abolished the Spanish subjects in high school and college because Spanish is one of the major languages in the world. I finished 12 units of Spanish in college... sad to say I could only speak two to five sentences... unlike my father who can speak Spanish as if it is his native tongue.
