Bridge of San Huaniko, which is part of the Pan-Philippine Highway, connects the coast of Samar and Leyte islands, which stretches between the Strait of San Huaniko. It is the longest part - a steel viaduct, built on a concrete viaduct, while the main span has the shape of an arch with through farms. The total length of the bridge - 2162 m, making it the longest, not only in the Philippines but throughout Southeast Asia. In addition, San Huaniko considered one of the most beautiful bridges in the country.

Total bridge consists of 43 spans, and under the main, towering above the sea level by 41 meters, can take a medium-sized ships. Construction of a bridge across the Strait of San Huaniko began in 1969, and four years later, in 1973, the city of Tacloban on Leyte island and the town of Santa Rita on the island of Samar were connected. Then the bridge was named Marcos Bridge, because it was built during the reign of President Ferdinand Marcos. It is said that it was presented as a kind of gift and a declaration of love from the president of the Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, a native of the island of Leyte. Construction of the bridge at a cost of 21, 9 million dollars.

Today, the trip across the bridge of San Huaniko from Tacloban to Santa Rita gives travelers the wonderful views of the same name which lies at the bottom of the strait with many islands and small bays. The entrance to the bridge is a 10-minute drive from downtown Tacloban.

It is fair to say that the bridge on the island of Luzon Kandaba San Huaniko longer, but this land bridge, built over rivers, streams and swampy lowlands, produces much less impressive.
