Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation
has collaborated with National Geo-
graphic for the project, “Bridge of
Tomorrow,” a documentary featur-
ing the creation of the 8.5-kilometer
Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway
(CCLEX) that will connect mainland
Cebu from Cebu City to Cordova
town in Mactan Island in 2021.
The Nat Geo project will have four
2-minute video teasers or vignettes
that will be aired every six months
and will build up into the full
45-minute documentary in time for
the opening of CCLEX in 2021. This
first vignette will run until end-Au-

in the Philippines, Japan, Hong
Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malay-
sia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei,
Cambodia, Macau, Mongolia, Palau,
Papua New Guinea, and South

“Vignette #1: Making of an Icon” that
started airing on July 22, 2019 fea-
tures how an iconic marvel is being
created: what goes behind its
design, its vision and the engineer-
ing ingenuity that makes it a new
landmark that will transform the Vi-
sayas Region.
