WAVES OF BLESSING AT BONGTUD
When President GMA paid Surigao del Sur a 2007 year-ender visit, she said that the completion of the bridge and concreting of Tandag-San Francisco highway would be the centerpiece of her 2008 state of the nation address. Since then, work goes 24/7. And as iron hits iron, a sound reverberates all over Tago, making me wonder how audibly bad it is for people living near the bridge, especially during bedtime!
That said, I'd been meaning to go to Bongtud to take pictures of Tago-La Paz bridge. But every time we planned to go there, more important thing cropped up. Then came the text this morning telling me that people peppered the shoreline of Bongtud to gather the pieces of plywood that had been washed onshore. The story goes that a ship bound for Cebu was in distress from strong winds and waves that it had to throw some jetsam including numerous pieces of plywood.
Sadly, the pieces of plywood didn't stand a chance with the treacherous waves and were broken into pieces. Reports said that Tandaganons had theirs intact because the fishermen had to use their boats to commandeer the plywood before they were washed onshore.
Still, the people of Bongtud enjoy their blessing as they come. I guess there's a lesson to be learned somewhere.
notice the crane and the smoke, all testaments to the ongoing construction of the bridge.
kids who had to do a Tarzan just to go up the bridge because the "approach" had long been washed down.
no plywood is badly torn to replace the bamboo wall of this nipa shack.
these pieces of plywood will go a long way for these old couple with a grandchild.
old table, new top.

That's good news Kamps. Finally the completion of the bridge would soon be a reality. Thanks for featuring it.

Re: WAVES OF BLESSING AT BONGTUD
abb,
himu-an ko garo ini nan write-up pero kay yangutana sa kaw tubagon ko dakan.
lapaz is about four kilometers from tago. perfect yaon na area mag jogging. imagine, preskuhi na hangin an imo ma hanggab tagad gadagan kaw pasiungud sa lapaz. tapos pag-abot mo ngadto ka tagor cesar gahuwat lugar an ga-aso-aso na tinuwa na may dahon nan bago. obin, kugita na galimi-limi sa iya ata....obin alimango na kinabut sa dayanga. (aswang an tawag nila nan ini na alimango.)
pero what excites me is the beach na yaon sa isla sa tunga. i remember in 1982, ga reunion an Seagulls ngad-on, first namo na reunion. As usual, kay kinahanglan sa kami nan ngan para sa amo t-shirt, i gave it the name ISLAS DE LOS DIABLOS (which, now i realize, is wrong because it's just an island). ay, ay gwapuhi an shoreline ngad-on, dihaw pareho nan baybay sa tago na ag kaw lambahon nan bawud na maarang na buhangin tapos ag kaw higiton ngadto sa linungaw. tapos abb, di na manulig an tagitis astan litub ngad-on. basta ga on-the-spot-pasgang gud kami sa una.
ini na isla sa mga falcon, specifically kan yo taboy. tapos pagkamatay ni yo taboy, iya in transperer kan iya biyay. i doubt if ya biyay will sell portions of it. i even told susie to buy one for the GoldBar of the Future.
i can't wait for the bridge to be finished. by then, i don't have reasons to go to cagwait.
