 VINTA


South of the Philippines is a vibrant, colorful Islamic culture represented eloquently by the vinta, a striking vivid sail found only in Zamboanga. Zamboanga is the melting pot of the South. Its population embraces an interesting mix of Muslims, Christians, and tribal groups which include the Badjaos and the Tausugs. More than anything else, it is the vinta with its dazzling and colorful sail that symbolizes Zamboanga and its melange of multicultural traditions.
