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.
Has the work on the project continued since 2016? Yes. In fact, the feasibility study which was completed in November 2019 was evaluated and approved by the Investment Coordination Committee and the NEDA Board for possible financing through Official Development Assistance . Today, we’ll explore 10 big ticket projects in Western Visayas — a region composed of five provinces: Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo and Negros Occidental.
