A plan to construct a 14-kilometer long bridge was presented to Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos-Recto and Oriental Mindoro Gov. Alfonso Umali Jr. With an estimated cost of Php 18 billion, it would take about five years to complete the SuperBridge project.

We've heard about this proposal since 2013 and earlier this year San Miguel Corporation (SMC) again expressed interest in building this project. If pursued the bridge would be the first floating bridge in Asia, with a total length of  15 kilometers with pedestrian and bicycle lanes and could withstand cyclones of up to 350 kph winds.


The SuperBridge is proposed to begin in Barangay Ilijan in Batangas City and make a 6.4-kilometer span across Verde Island. The next connection will start from the Verde Island going to a barangay in Sinandigan in Pueto Galera, Oriental Mindoro.
