A Laoag TV broadcast yesterday said that the Magapit Suspension Bridge in Lallo, Cagayan,which has been undergoing rehabilitation 2-3 months ago will be opened for traffic on August 16. We shall be crossing our fingers. A doubting Thomas, indeed--he does not believe unless he sees the real thing. Besides, the TV anchor Grace Alba did not cite authorities. A journalist worth his or her salt always quotes responsible people to authenticate claims or statements and make them ring true. According to reports from a DPWH official, the bridge, the only one of its kind in the Philippines, is being rehabilitated at a cost of P100-million.
