What happened to the hanging bridge and other questions
A week after. The Loyalty Day celebration has been indefinitely postponed. There was no classes for a week. No electricity, for that matter. But slowly, we are getting back on our feet. The dorms have electricity now, now this is good news. I’ve always felt before that they usually put on the electricity on the dorms last (when I was resident). Still most restaurants are still close. Magti-tiyaga ka sa McDo at Chowking kung ayaw mo ng lumayo ng campus.
The campus is getting cleaned up bit by bit. The big trees that have fallen are being removed. I hope they make something useful of those tree trunks than just being laid to waste.
One of the things we will miss this October is the garden show. This is how this part of the Social Garden looks like after the typhoon.
You can actually see Baker Hall clearly from the bridge beside the Social Garden.
So many electrical posts have been destroyed inside the campus as well as in Grove. But they are working on it.
So what happened to the hanging bridge? Yes, the one from St Therese to Engineering. I have so many memories here, too, with my friends. I remember passing this way with a friend who was afraid of heights. It took a long time before we reached the other side. Is it really true that somebody got raped and died here? Kaya minumulto daw ito?
Well the midsection was blown away by the winds, not sure if the water reached this high, hence no more hanging bridge. It has been hanged (pardon the pun). No more shortcut to and from Engineering.

Doing your theses? Might be time to increase your laptop memory.

Thanks for posting the photos and keeping us informed. I’m a batch 90-something too, and am now in Vienna, Austria. Your blogsite has been referred by some friends from the US and Canada, so it’s very international already. So sad to see all those trees down. I have many fond memories of those trees, and of the hanging bridge too! Kudos, and keep this blogsite active!

hello po!
nice site!
yung tungkol po sa library, di naman talaga masyadong nasira, ang pagkakaalam ko po e tumulo yung bubungan tapos bumaha sa third floor. 2 weeks ago naglilinis parin po ang mga taga-lib ng mga journals.. sayang nga po ang daming nasira at ibinenta nalang ata sa junk shop.. sayang talaga kasi may mga journals pa po kaming nakita dun na sobrang tanda na (or mas matanda kaysa sa akin).
ayun lang po.

Yup, someone was raped there and murdered, on the side towards the orchards (around 1979).
Someone was also raped under the bridge by the Lib.
