Katipunan Avenue No More?

1 Comment » // March 16th, 2009

Katipunan Avenue is now CP Garcia Avenue?

I can’t believe it.  At first, I took it with a grain of salt as my cousin who studies at Ateneo delivered the news to me.  I thought it must be some mistake but then I saw the street signs myself.  The recently installed blue street labels were replaced by “MMDA-pink” labels that said “C.P. Garcia” on street posts located on all corners along Katipunan Avenue.  Just when I was being proud of the blue street signs (installed like last 1-2 yrs?), they change it.  I’m not sure when they changed the signs but several relatives of mine noticed it in early January of this year.

Why the heck did they do that?!?  It’s been Katipunan forever… it’s been years that that road is known as Katipunan.  Are we victims again of yet another useless, confusing street-name change??? I found a link on this issue: http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/posts/silly_mmda

So what happens now..  KatipunanQC.com will be CPGarciaQC.com?  Yuck.
