A Visit to the Philippines Tallest Bridge: Agas-Agas Bridge

Height of Bridge: 75 meters

Length of Bridge: 350 meters

From DZR Tacloban Airport, I arrived in the new bus terminal around 6:25AM. I was told that the first bus going to Sugod town wouldn’t be until 9:00AM. I was saddened since it was my aim to get the cheapest fares for this trip. I had no choice, and I have a timed itinerary to follow, so I opted to take the van going to Sugod. This would pass by Agas-Agas Bridge, the tallest bridge in the country as of this writing. I was the first passenger and it took 30 minutes before the van was fully occupied with most of the passengers coming from the airport like me. We left the terminal around 7:00AM.

My First Solo Trip: Leyte and Samar Islands (With Itinerary)



Last March of 2012, I was able to avail again another promo from the budget airline Cebu Pacific. I had no specific destination in mind as I checked on their website whether there were nice destinations on promotion during some Philippine long weekend holidays. With luck, I found a two-way promo fare for Tacloban City, Leyte on the dates August 26-28. August 27 is a holiday (National Heroes Day), and the flight on August 28 would be early in the morning which would allow me to still come to the office for work and not be absent. So then I grabbed it!
