San Juanico Bridge

San Juanico Bridge spans across the strait dividing two of the country's large islands - Leyte and Samar - a stretch of some two kilometers including the approaches. It was built during the time of President Ferdinand E Marcos in the sixties and seventies. The First Lady, Imelda Romualdez Marcos, comes from Leyte. She is now congresswoman of Ilocos Norte, the president's home province.

Bridge of love, two islands into one,

of one people, one country;
Built before its time, a dream come true -
Land of freedom and bounty.
