SAVE  the Sen. Espiridion Guanco Bridge (Daan Taytay) against DPWH expansion project. Destruction of a heritage structure is not the only solution. We have to find ways.

Think, think and oppose the demolition.

"Situated along kilometer 53 south of Bacolod in the town of Hinigaran is a 100.00 meters long Hinigaran Bridge. Spanning the river with the same name, Hinigaran Bridge was built in 1935 following a standard bridge design popularized during the time. Composed of 14 graceful piers supporting beams, the bridge, which is 6.00 meters wide, is designed with a protective parapet wall with balusters lining its side. This design which became standard for most bridges in the country still abounds throughout the archipelago. Like most American period bridges whose roadway is deemed narrow today, Hinigaran Bridge was decommissioned when the new alternative concrete bridge was constructed alongside it. Today, Hinigaran Bridge serves as a convenient platform and recreational space for "Talaba" breeders and local promenaders".

Recently, the Facebook page “Philippine Shocking History” has shared the photo of a 106-year-old bridge in Hinigaran, Negros Occidental, which is now up for demolition.

However, a netizen named Mark Ploteña was seeking help to stop the demolition of the historic bridge.
