Summary
| Description |
English: It was a project of Spanish friar Victorino de Moral, a Franciscan priest of Majayjay in the 1850s. It is described as a huge unfinished stone bridge jutting out of Olla River. The bridge was meant to be a short cut to the town of Majayjay, Laguna.
To the people of Majayjay, the bridge was called “Tulay ng Pigi/Pige" (Buttocks Bridge), to honor the ancestors who worked on the bridge and got whacked on their buttocks. Late comers for the job were given a dozen whacks with a paddle. Also, Puente de Capricho became such a buzzword in the social circles in Manila. In the early chapters of José Rizal’s novel, “El Filibusterismo,” the bridge was mentioned by the Friar named Camorra to journalist Ben Zayb while traveling on a boat on Laguna de Bay. Moreover, the original wooden sections on each end of the bridge were blown up in the film. At present, both ends of the bridge are made of narrow concrete slabs which explain why it’s not a popular route. The said bridge that was left unfinished still exists in the jungles of Majayjay. |
