Residents and students of Brgy. Dacalan, Tanudan, Kalinga Province go about their daily grind in crossing the dangerous and swollen Tanudan River to and from to school or work in their farms with a suspended metal rope as a safety feature while crossing the torrential river during the rainy season. This as the old steel hanging bridge was swept away at the height of typhoon Rosita in 2018, which caused massive damage to Kalinga province’s infrastructure. The residents had become susceptible to the dangers of crossing the Tanudan River especially during the rainy season. Around 60 households and 80 students from Grade 1to6 are residing in Brgy Dacalan, Tanudan, Kalinga an agriculture based barangay. A proposed farm to market road network linking the Municipality of Tanudan to and from the Tinglayan is under way and residents expect the road network to open after five years. Dave Leprozo
