Old Street Names of Manila

Several streets of Manila have been renamed through the years, sometimes without regard to street names as signpost to history. For historian AmbethOcampo, old names of the streets of Manila, “in one way reaffirmed and enhanced our culture.”

Former names of some streets in Binondo were mentioned by Jose Rizal in his novels. Calle Sacristia (now Ongpin Street) was the street where Rizal’sleading character Crisostomo Ibarra walked the old Tiniente back to his barracks. The house of rich Indio Don Capitan Tiago de los Santos waslocated in Calle Anloague (now Juan Luna).

Only a century ago, the surrounding blocks of Malate and Ermita were traverse only by Calle Real (now M.H. del Pilar Street) and Calle Nueva (now AMabini Street) that followed the curve of the Bay and led to Cavite’s port. Today’s Roxas Boulevard was underwater then. Along the two main roadswere houses and rice fields punctuated by the churches of Malate and Ermita and the military installations like Plaza Militar and Fort San AntonioAbad. After the Filipino-American War, new streets were laid out following the Burnham Plan. In Malate for instance, streets were named after the US statesthat sent volunteers to crush Aguinaldo’s army. Today, those streets were renamed after Filipinos patriots some became key players in Aguinaldo’sgovernment. It is fascinating to learn that Manila’s rich heritage is reflected in its streets. Below is a list of current street names and the little history behind it: Andres Soriano Avenue in Intramuros was formerly called the Aduana, after the Spanish custom house whose ruins stand on the street. The street wasrenamed after a famous businessman who organized the Soriano y Cia (Cia is not a Spanish surname but an acronym for compania or company). He

began his career as an accountant of San Miguel Brewery. Ongpin formerly called Calle Sacristia after the sacristy of Binondo Church whose entrance is located along the street.

Good luck on your project!

Interesting and informative post! Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been wondering about the origins of other Philippineplace names too–e.g., Tagaytay, Diliman, etc.–would you happen to know a good reading material on this?

Thanks for visiting the site Don.

I just know that Tagaytay received its name from a legend involving a father and son while hunting the forest down theslopes. According to the legend, the father was attack by wild boars.The son threwn in a jungle knife (taga) and cried“taga” “itay” (Itay is father). His echo was heard through out the forest by Spanish conquistadors. Thus naming theplace “Taga-ytay.”

This is pre-empting the next article I’m about to post about Tagaytay.

Your first comment is spot-on! It would’ve have been really ideal if all the original names were kept for that solepurpose. It’s really too bad that some people – especially those in power, don’t see the significance in all this. So muchof our heritage could be unearthed and embraced from questioning the the origins of something as seeminglyinsubstantial as street names.

very informative. i enjoyed and i’m amazed.

i’ve always imagined Manila’s street signs to have two names..

one with the original names, i.e. “Calle Real” in an intricate, antique style of frame and above it is the new name,however, in an original-Filipino design concept.

UNLIKE, the green-white thing, patterned after US, I surmise.. i’ve always hated it.

That’s a great idea Patrick.Having two street signs indicating the old and the new name. Similar on what they did tosome streets in Intramuros where the old name were embossed on the wall while the new name is written in a modernlooking signpost.

However, what I would really appreciate is for those in-charged in renaming the streets to consider the historical andcultural value attached to the streets of Manila.

Well I think too much importance given to politics than to our heritage and culture that authorites would choose togrossly change the historical name of a street to the name of a politician or a businessman.

This attitude has to be rectified for heritage sake.

“Dos Castillas… was renamed to memorialize the unification in 1469 of the two kingdoms in the Castille region ofSpain, Leon and Aragon… the union marked the emergence of modern Spain.”

Amigo, I just learned of this a few minutes ago from a Spanish gentlemen (Sr. Ramón Perdigón) who is a co-member ofthe yahoogroup to which I belong.

He wrote “no hay tal cosa” (there is no such thing).

Here’s the rest of his text (with my translation below it):

“A tiempo del matrimonio de Isabel de Castilla (reina de Castilla, no de Leon) con Fernando de Aragón, el reino deCastilla se extendía por los dos tercios occidentales de España desde Galicia, Asturias y Vizcaya hasta las costas deAndalucía. Para ver la razón del nombre de Dos Castillas hay que mirar al contexto urbano de Sampaloc que sedesarrolló en el primer tercio del siglo XX: hay un grupo de calles con nombres de regiones españolas, y una de lascalles se llamó Dos Castillas porque entonces había dos regiones en España llamadas Castilla la Nueva (lo que eshoy Castilla-La Mancha) y Castilla la Vieja (la parte oriental de lo que hoy es Castilla-Leon) , de ahí vino el nombreDos Castillas.”

(At the time of Isabel of Castilla {queen of Castilla, not of León} and Fernando de Aragón’s marriage, the Kingdomof Castilla was spreading over two-thirds of Western Spain, from Galicia, Asturias, and Vizcaya up to the coasts ofAndalucía. To realize the origin of the name Dos Castillas, it is necessary to look at the urban context of Sampálocwhich developed in the first third part of the 20th century. There is a group of streets with names of Spanish regions,and one of the streets was called Dos Castillas because then there were two regions in Spain called Castilla la Nueva(what is today Castilla La Mancha) and Castilla la Vieja (the oriental part of what today is known as Castilla yLeón), hence came the name Dos Castillas.

Good evening! I was reading your list of names of old streets. Just so you’re aware, Retiro, currently NS Amoranto,was the name of the street that lead many souls to go on a retreat from Intramuros to the church of San Francisco delMonte in Quezon City. The street was meant to serve as a reminder to many that the street lead to a place of solaceand retreat that priests, missionaries, martyrs, politicians and church officials would go to avoid the crazy noise of thecity. The church of San Francisco del Monte, as you have mentioned in one of your articles was the reason why thatstreet existed. It ends up at the current Talayan Hills Subdivision. From the street, one would have to cross the creekand climb the hill to the place of retreat. You might want to expound on that write up of yours. Cheers!

Very helpful and informative. I was, even in my teens one of those who feel that Manila’s streets should remain asthey were originally named. If only the original names of Magdalena, Bangkusay, Requesens, Tayabas,Misericordia,Mayhaligue and so many others can be known, plus their current names, then we can see how self serving and shortsighted our politicians can be. I propose a movement to initiate actions to make our congressmen revert all of Manila’sstreets to their former names.
