BAWAL NA MU-DIVE UG MU-AMBAK SA CAWITAN BRIDGE?

A “NO DIVING / JUMPING” sign was recently installed at Cawitan Bridge in Barangay Cawitan, Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental.

The signage was placed on the side of the bridge and is clearly visible to the public. The installation was reportedly carried out by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). While no official statement has been released yet regarding the reason for the installation, it is presumed to be related to public safety concerns.

It can be recalled that the Municipal Government of Santa Catalina recently held an executive meeting, with Cawitan River reportedly included in the agenda. However, the specific matters discussed during that meeting have not been disclosed to the public as of this writing.

The Cawitan Bridge and river have gained attention both locally and nationally following a wave of social media activity, and were even featured in a recent segment on GMA’s 24 Oras Weekend. Photo courtesy: Mera Lienes

CAWITAN RIVER

in Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental has become a popular spot on social media. Videos on Facebook show people diving off the Cawitan Bridge into the river’s calm, refreshing waters which attracts both locals and tourists.

The trend began when a local uploaded a playful video inspired by Anne Curtis’ viral “fairy walk” in Siquijor. Since then, the river has drawn more visitors eager to swim, take photos, and enjoy the fresh scenery. Some locals have even started selling food nearby.

Despite its growing popularity, Cawitan River is still yet to be officially recognized as a tourist destination by the local government.

To help people imagine what the place could look like, we used AI (artificial intelligence) to create the photo below. It shows a colorful and lively version of Cawitan River, an idea of how the area could be improved to attract more visitors while keeping its natural beauty.

Mayor Peve Ligan has already said that there is no plan or budget right now to put a lighting project on the Cawitan Bridge, like the ones in Sicopong and Nagbagang. This AI-generated photo is not an actual project, it’s just a creative concept to start a friendly conversation about what could be possible in the future for the river and the community.
