Agas-Agas Bridge in Southern Leyte // The TALLEST Bridge in the Philippines
The Agas-Agas Bridge is a prestressed concrete beam bridge on the Pan-Philippine Highway. The ₱1.024-billion bridge was funded partially by the Japan International Cooperation Agency. With a length of about 350 meters (1,150 feet) and a height of 292 feet (89 meters) above ground,[2] the center span of the structure measures 177 meters (581 feet) in length supported by two piers measuring 241 foot (73 meters) and 246 foot (75 meters) from the ground.[3]
The mountainous Agas-Agas section of the Pan-Philippine Highway in Southern Leyte is prone to landslides during heavy rains, much more when a typhoon strikes the province. The bridge was constructed in 2006 to avoid the troublesome section and cut down the driving time for motorists.[4]
Seeing its high tourism potential the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) submitted to President Gloria Arroyo the plan to turn the bridge into a haven for enthusiasts of bungee jumping, paramotor, downhill skateboarding, zip-line, rappelling and other extreme sports. On August 9, 2009, the president signed the construction of the bungee jumping platform along the bridge as well as other tourism amenities.

Tallest Bridge in The Philippines : Agas Agas Bridge w/ breathtaking view in Sogod Southern Leyte
I visited the once promising tourist spot but politics did not serve its purpose and promise of uplifting the lives of the locals.. What a waste..
Nevertheless, its wonders can not be denied.
The ziplines which gave its needed boom is now abandoned which gave me an eerie feeling when I went to the launching area..
Rain slowed my travel and gave me difficulty but the reward upon seeing the breathtaking scenic view is unbelievable..

FUN RIDE at Tallest Bridge in the Philippines (agas agas bridge in souther leyte) Megaride69
The tallest bridge in the philippines can be found in Agas agas Sogod, Southern Leyte.
The Agas-Agas Bridge, the country's tallest bridge, is located in Barangay Kahupian. It measures thirty (30) stories high or 292 feet (89 m) above ground. The bridge houses the longest zipline in Eastern Visayas with a length of 880 metres (2,890 ft), established as a tourist attraction by the provincial government. This bridge is by far the tallest pier or column that involves the construction of a three hundred fifty (350) linear meter bridge, with a mix of steel and concrete, supported by two (2) piers from the ground.
Agas-agas Zipline and Bridge (Tallest Bridge in the Philippines)
Located in Southern Leyte, Philippines. Agas-agas Bridge is currently the Tallest Bridge in the Philippines.
Zipline:
THE Agas-Agas Bridge Zipline Adventure was officially launched Friday (April 15, 2011) letting everyone experience soaring at a high speed, flying by wire like Superman did in the movies.
Newsmen from all over Eastern Visayas, including some known tour operators, were treated by the organizers for a day of free rides with a briefing that, the Southern Leyte province will be known as the central of adventure destination in Eastern Visayas.
Constructed between two mountains, the Agas-Agas Bridge Zipline or locally known as Zipline Leyte offers an extra-ordinary experience on cable rides that traverse the Mahaplag-Sogod section of the Tacloban-Liloan Road giving a rider a full view of the breathtaking panorama with the bridge's sky-scraping height.
The organizers led by Governor Damian Mercado are hopeful that the opening would bring in more tourists.
The potential of the bridge, which provides a significant link to motorists traveling from Luzon to Mindanao, was noted when it was inaugurated two years ago and endorsed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to turn it into a haven for sports enthusiasts who are into bungee jumping, paramotor, downhill skateboarding and zipline rappelling and other extreme sports.
According to a DPWH official, this bridge is by far the tallest pier or column that the government has constructed. It involves the construction of a 350 linear meter bridge, with a mix of steel and concrete, supported by two piers from the ground and has a height of 292 feet above ground.
Meanwhile, ziplines in the country are fast drawing a big crowd of action and adventure seekers from all over the world.
The extraordinary thrill of being suspended on a cable at considerable heights or the joy of zipping through the woods at a high speed makes ziplines an action-packed activity.
The zipline in Southern Leyte is the third zipline attractions in Eastern Visayas.
Recently, the Caluwayan Island Resort in Marabut Samar and the Leyte Park Resort in Tacloban City officially offered a zipline adventures to its adventure-seeking clients.
Known as a flying fox, foefie slide, zip wire, aerial runway, or aerial rope slide, a zipline consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline.
It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to traverse from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable, usually made of stainless steel, by holding on or attaching to the freely moving pulley. Ziplines are used in varied ways and come in various forms.
While others used it as a means of amusement and entertainment, others showcase ziplines as an adventure activity option. Accessing remote areas, such as a rainforest canopy would require longer and higher rides. (Leyte Samar Daily Express)
