Hanging bridge joins Mindoro provinces

MANILA, Philippines -Mangyans belonging to Alangan and Bangon tribes and members of Kabilogan Mangyan, Inc. and Samahang Apo-Diya Alangan Kisluyan, Inc. can now travel and move their agricultural products between the hilly sides of central Mindoro Island. A 200-meter long and 300-foot high hanging bridge located in Sitio Puting Bato, Brgy. San Agustin in Sablayan town, Occidental Mindoro was reconstructed by Norwegian-owned Intex Resources last year as part of the memorandum of agreement entered by its local partner Aglubang Mining Company with the Mangyan groups prior to the exploration being conducted in the areas covered by its Mindoro Nickel Project.
