The Malitangtang Bridge, in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, is said to be the home of many unknown beings. Well, its just an urban legend.

Actually, even those person who had been there once, give respect to the bridge for unknown reason. When you see it personally, you'll just think it was a simple bridge, but behind the innocence of the structure, there lies the stories of the unknown. Some people are scared passing through the bridge. They are worried of what might suddenly appear in front of them.

Engkantos are very mysterious being. They will curse you once you done something unpleasing for them. They are unpredictable! You'll find them beautiful as you see them, but they're actually wearing a mask hiding something.

Malitangtang Bridge is far different to Biringan City in terms of engkanto manifestations. Although the two are similar in some aspects - example: being the passage way to another world, Malitangtang Bridge is real and you can even set foot on the place, unlike Biringan which is completely invisible.

[From an Interview:]

"It was morning, the sunlight in the sky is still unseen. Mang Narding (not his real name) decided to begin his trip with his jeepney routing from Cantilan to Parang. He had four passengers at that time. At the beginning, when they hadn't passed and arrived at the Malitangtang bridge yet, everything was normal. Some of his passengers were sleeping, while the others were looking outside the window.

While Mang Narding drive continuously, he suddenly noticed - there's something unusual to his passengers. They had passed through the Malitangtang Bridge that time. He also noticed that there was someone added to his passengers, it was strange, he didn't even stop to fetch someone. It just added up suddenly to them.

He had five passengers in his jeep that time. He didn't say something, perhaps because of fear. He look at them to figure out who was added. While gazing at his passengers, observing one-by-one, he noticed a beautiful girl. Fair-skinned and has long hair. He stared at her, but as he look at her, he noticed one thing. She had no philtrum. He just didn't utter something even he was perspiring because of terror. Then, the girl suddenly talked, Sir, let me go down in one side. She pointed the place where she wanted to go down. Mang Narding look at her when she got off, but he saw no one. So he drove the jeepney faster."

The mountain near the Malitangtang Bridge is said to be the dwelling place of the engkantos (not the bridge itself) who only appear on the bridge. Some people saw cocoa trees on the top of the mountain. No one owns those plants. So who planted those trees? No body knows. I remember the story of Maria Cacao in this one.

Another strange thing connected to the bridge is the river under it. It was said that the river was endless. No one knows the end as well as the starting point.
