The New Bulusukan River Bridge: 360 Degrees View of Pila History

The new bridge connecting pre-hispanic Pila (now Pinagbayanan) and current Pila town is due for completion soon. Every Pila resident should visit this new bridge which was built right beside the confluence of Sta. Clara and Bulusukan River. One can view Pila's historic sights like Pinagbayanan, Pagalangan, the current town, all the mountains surrounding the town and Pila's Jala-jala and Victoria lands. Mt. Banahaw is best viewed in this area.


The Wawa ng Bulusukan (Bulusukan River Mouth) and Laguna de Bay is less than a kilometer away and one can reach the river mouth by riding a banca or by following the Kabolusan (Royal Road). This shallow river was harnessed by the early settlers of Pila for irrigating the rice fields around the bridge.


The bell tower of Pila' church can be seen with ancient rice fields at the foreground and Mt. Banahaw at the background. The local government of Pinagbayanan plans to develop this area into a major tourist site.
