San Juanico Bridge. Conquering the 2.16-KM Bridge on Foot. Byaheng Tacloban Part 2

I was only 11 years old when the San Juanico Bridge was opened by then President Ferdinand Marcos as a gift to his wife, former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos, who hailed from Leyte.
I saw the footage from our B&W TV and I saw how beautiful the bridge was then. It was the longest bridge in the Philippines, and I wondered what it' would be like to see the bridge in person.
Fast forward 51 years later. I was recently in Eastern Visayas to explore the region. Yes, I still want to see the San Juanico Bridge, although I have seen it a couple of times of already. What I really wanted to do was to cross the bridge on foot, but I wasn't sure that I can still do it at age 62.
So, what I did was that I went to Tacloban North Terminal, boarded a jeepney bound for Basey, and asked the driver to drop me off at the foot of the bridge.
What followed later was something I wasn't expecting I can still do. Forty-five minutes after I started my conquest, I finally did crossing the 2.16KM San Juanico Bridge on foot!

Si Dante Varona ay tumalon sa San Juanico bridge sa Hari ng Stunt noong araw at halos ikamatay nya at kayo naman po ay nagawa nyo rin ang maglakad nga lang. Parehong na fulfill ang inyong mga dreams.
