Lights shine on the restored Cloud 9 Boardwalk in Siargao

When super typhoon Odette slammed against the island of Siargao in December 2021, one of its most famous landmarks — the wooden boardwalk over the Cloud 9 break — was swept away by the powerful storm.

Now, eight months after Odette’s landfall, Siargao’s boardwalk rises anew.

Former provincial governor and current General Luna mayor Sol Forcadilla Matugas shared shots of the opening of a “stronger and better” boardwalk to the public last July 14.

Photos showed the reconstructed wooden walkway stretching out to the surf.

In her post, the mayor thanked her predecessor, as well as the Philippine Sports Commission, who funded the tourist spot’s rehabilitation.

“Come and visit Cloud 9 Boardwalk in General Luna and experience the spectacular view!” she wrote in her caption.
