Where are the bridges?


This is from the front page of the Cebu Daily News. It shows children crossing a river in a mountain barangay of Cebu City on their way to school. After school, of course, they would be doing the same thing on their way back home.

So where is the bridge?






It's here in downtown Cebu City. And in many other parts of the city. They call this structure skywalk.

At least this particular skywalk is actually used by schoolchildren. But most of the other skywalks are just billboards for advertisements of the congressman or senator who funded their construction.
