NAGA CITY – As the 9-day religious festivity of the Lady of Peñafrancia was concluded on Sunday (Sept. 18), families of the victims of the 1972 “Colgante Bridge Tragedy” publicly lamented that all these years no memorial services have been held to remember the 134 victims, who died when the Colgante bridge collapsed during the fluvial procession in the afternoon of September 16, 1972, 5 days before the late Philippine strong-man, President Ferdinand E. Marcos declared Martial Law.
