'A bridge to connect Manicani to Guiuan is worth dreaming for'

THE wild idea may have come from their experience with the San Juanico structure, the bridge that connects Leyte and Samar. The Municipality of Guiuan is in the eastern part of Samar and everyone traveling to Tacloban from Guiuan, and back, will have to pass through the grand San Juanico.

Hinatuan Mining Corp. (HMC), a subsidiary of Nickel Asia Corp (NAC), is a mining company with operations on the island of Manicani, which is part of the jurisdiction of Guiuan.

Mining Engineers Annamae Prongo (sitting in the middle with a red face mask) and Christian Centillas (standing right in blue shirt) are HMC mining scholars who are born and raised in Manicani. They are leading the youth on the island in understanding the processes of responsible mining and how the youth can become partners. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
