Legend has it that when huge waves were forming along Basilan Strait, a lady with long black hair dressed in white suddely appeared and walked into the water and the forming tsunami collapsed before it reached the shores of Zamboanga. Other myths were not as dramatic and as colorful. But Our Lady of the Pilar has blessed Zamboanga with her protection and love and has not driscriminated between christians and muslims.
I sometimes find myself wondering if it is okay to ask for intercession for my muslim patients from Our Lady, but love and mercy are universal languages that have crossed boundaries of religion.
