    TYKFI HELPS BUILD BRIDGE OF HOPE

    9/26/2008

    THE Tan Yan Kee Foundation recently donated Two Million Pesos (P2M) for the completion of the Alitaytayan Hanging Bridge located in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.

    It was recently inaugurated by representatives of the national and local government, community leaders, and officers and members of various civic organizations.
    Also known as “The Bridge of Hope,” it cuts across the span of the Labangan River and covers 108 meters. The completed bridge will enable the continuous fl ow of commerce by allowing the unhampered passage of people and goods going to and from the communities on both sides of the river.

    In the past, heavy rains would cause the river to rise, making it impassable. Consequently, it brought to a standstill daily activities like children going to school, government employees going about their usual functions, traders transporting their wares, and the like.

    The bridge will also help prevent the recurrence of unfortunate events like the drowning of five children trying to cross the river to go to school.

    In the true spirit of Bayanihan, the bridge project was not only a collaboration of various organizations and funding agencies, but also demonstrated unity and camaraderie among the local citizenry, who each donated at least a day of labor, without pay.

    The second phase of the project, soon to be undertaken, involves the construction of a Mangyan Heritage Park and will be funded by the Feathered Friends Foundation, an NGO based in Occidental Mindoro.
