san juanico bridge

since i am now back in tacloban, i am now changing my profile picture to something that represents where i am now. san juanico does. this is the landmark of my birthplace, and this is considered to be a product of the fusion of two worlds apart. a labor of love.

constructed in 1970's, the bridge brought beauty and convenience to the sleeping islands of leyte and samar. as seen in the picture, the curving from the viewer's point of view resembles the letter "s" for samar, and thereon goes the letter "L" part for leyte. the bridge is about 2 kms, the longest so far in the philippines. it offers a picturesque view of the islets around and whirpools too. one can jog from leyte to samar in just a minute, and inhale the freshest sea breeze ever. this is just a 10-minute jeepney ride from the commercial capital of the region, tacloban city. one day, i shall build my abode in a place like this, or perhaps in this very place.
