I believe that it stood until the 1938 to be replaced by the current Quezon Bridge.

Haha.. I just googled Puente Claveria and Google returned this link which is to a post that I made ages ago: http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=96171&page=3

More pictures and info about Pasig River crossings here: http://www.aenet.org/manila-expo/page20.htm
I just want to add that Puente Colgante was built for pedestrians and it is also the first suspension bridge in the Far East. It was designed by Gustav Eiffel. The man who also designed the famous Eiffel Tower of Paris.

Lili, you think it's Jaena? I think one of them may be Isabelo de los Reyes, but of course my guess is as good as anybody's.

Maybe, he's not Jaena. The above picture has softer features than the Jaena picture I googled.



Which one there do you think is Isabelo De Los Reyes?
