The bridge was formally inaugurated and named by the Atienza as “Tulay ng Pangako, Tulay ng Pag-asa (Bridge of Promise, Bridge of Hope)."

According to her brother, Director Ali Atienza of the Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA), the bridge was built as a surprise after their father learned that it had been a long-time dream of the vice mayor to provide a safer way for residents to cross the creek.

“During the campaign period, Vice Mayor Chi herself experienced having to use a makeshift raft to visit the residents and almost fell into the creek,” Director Ali said. “Since then, she had dreamt of being able to provide the residents a sturdy bridge that would ease the difficulties and dangers they face daily when they have to cross over.”

Atienza had reportedly been praying and searching for ways to build the bridge, especially after a major fire hit the area in November 2024, displacing many families and further highlighting the need for a safer crossing.

A post on the Vice Mayor’s official social media account shared more about her motivation, “Naalala ni Vice Mayor Chi na matapos niyang bisitahin ang lugar matapos ang sunog, siya ay napaiyak sa sitwasyon ng mga lolo’t lola at mga batang napilitang tumalon sa estero upang iligtas ang kanilang sarili Vice Mayor Chi recalled that after she visited the area following the fire, she was moved to tears by the sight of elderly people and children forced to jump into the creek to save themselves). "

“Sa panahong iyon, ipinangako niya na kapag siya’y nabigyan ng pagkakataong maglingkod, sisiguraduhin niyang magkakaroon ng tulay para sa kanila (At that moment, she promised that if given the chance to serve, she would make sure a bridge would be built for them). "

The same post added, “Hindi lang ito simpleng hiling para sa kanyang kaarawan. Isa itong paalala na ang bawat proyektong natutupad ay para sa kapakanan ng mga Manileño, lalo na ang matagal nang nangangailangan ng tulong (This is not just a simple birthday wish. It is a reminder that every project fulfilled is for the welfare of Manileños especially those who have long been in need of assistance). "

Residents of Barangay 125 have welcomed the bridge, which now stands as a symbol of a promise fulfilled and a step toward safer daily living for the community.
