Manila Mayor Lito Atienza and other officials opposed lawmakers’ proposal to rename the historic avenue, which extends from Manila City Hall to the Rotonda in Pasay City.


The Manila City Council is also set to ask the Senate to drop the proposal. Councilor Marlon Lacson, who is the majority leader, said all councilors have agreed to block the bill.
