Never too Leyte: to cross the bridge

Of course, a visit to Tacloban wouldn't be complete without passing by the historic San Juanico Bridge.


This iconic structure bridges together 2 provinces - Samar and Leyte. For a time, it was the Philippines' longest bridge and a Philippine landmark.


Whenever people say "San Juanico Bridge," our generation would usually reply, "Dante Varona!" That's because in his film "Hari ng Stunt," his iconic stunt was jumping off San Juanico Bridge.

No, we didn't jump. 


Finally seeing it in person, I must say, San Juanico Bridge is as majestic and breathtaking as the photos and videos that I've seen. And now, I can say:

"I've crossed the bridge since I got there."
