The Hanging Bridge, Simple Yet Fun

One of the stops of the countryside tour is the hanging bridge at Tigbao, Loboc. There are two hanging bridge at the site and both are made of steel cabling with woven bamboo strips for the floor.

Tigbao Hanging Bridge: Slippery when wet

Since it has been a tourist spot, a one way traffic scheme is imposed, hence one bridge is for traffic towards the otherside and the other ofcourse is for coming back.

There is actually nothing special about the bridge or on the other side of the loboc river bank. Thrill factor for this is low if your doing it with just a small group. At the time we were there, there were bus loads of highschool students who were also traversing the hanging bridge. Thrill factor is still low, but the fun factor is high, because there are lots of people crossing the bridge and with everyone walking the bridge at the same time, the bridge sways from side to side more and you can see the people walking in unison to the sway of the bridge.

One of them acrophobic lagger, a perfect target for making your crossing fun (evil grin)

The best part of the visit to that place is that you get to laugh at the hysterical comments by the acrophobic people when someone or a group of people starts to jump in unison to jolt the bridge. Well, I have to admit, I was part of those who had fun at scaring others.

Souvenir shops are located on the other side of the bridge as well as some coconut for refreshment and Saging na Saba grilled, smothered with butter and sprinkled with a little bit of sugar. This was the first time I came to know that Saba can also be grilled and buttered like corn.

Buko for P20, your kidney's best friend

Crossing the bridge costs P10, the refreshing coconut costs P20 and you get to eat the meat inside, and the grilled Saba costs P15. Simple activity yet fun, refreshing and tasty.
