On June 10, Philippine President Marcos announced that the Eastern Visayas administrative region had entered a state of disaster for a period of one year to speed up the repair and reconstruction of the San Juanico Bridge and mitigate the impact on residents of Samar and Leyte. The San Juanico Bridge is a bridge connecting Samar Island and Leyte Island in the Philippines. The bridge is 2.16 km long and was completed in 1973. Recently, some structural components of the bridge were damaged, which prompted the authorities to restrict the passage of heavy vehicles and implement traffic controls to prevent overload and mitigate risks.
