Overview
Formerly Southwestern Mindanao Attached Field, Zamboanga Peninsula Mission was organized in 2004 and reorganized in 2008. It is a part of South Philippine Union Conference in the Southern Asia Pacific Division of Seventh-day Adventists.
Zamboanga Peninsula Mission (ZPM) is one of the newest Adventist missions in the island of Mindanao, Philippines. ZPM was originally under the supervision of the Western Mindanao Conference from 1958 until January 2004. The pioneering work in ZPM could be traced back when Tiburcio Delos Reyes Singuillo and his wife migrated from Magallon, Negros Occidental in Visayas to Sindangan del Norte in 1922. In the same year, Tiburcio was converted into the Adventist faith; and his wife followed the next year. In August 1925 the first Seventh-day Adventist Church in ZPM was built in Sindangan. By 1926 its church members grew to thirty.
