When I was still in elementary, my father Manuel and mother Elnora, would tell me about the San Juanico Bridge, a 2.16-km bridge connecting the island provinces of Samar and Leyte. Whenever we went home to Iloilo, I’d often wonder why we had to take boats or airplanes to travel to nearby Negros Occidental. There were not many bridges at that time.
The 2.1 km San Juanico Bridge, which was built in 1969, is still the longest bridge fifty years after. The Build, Build, Build team has worked since 2016 on a masterplan the Mega Bridge Project a series of short and long-span bridges linking island provinces to eventually connect Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao via land travel.
