We appreciate the good intention, but isn’t the constant changing of street names confusing?
“Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares led the filing of House Bill 3439, which proposes the renaming of Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City to Senator Lorenzo Tañada Avenue in honor of late senator’s ‘selfless contributions’ to the nation,” reports Charissa Luci in the Manila Bulletin.
Colmenares went on to note Tañada’s “unblemished record of 42 years in public service: Manila assistant fiscal from 1929 to 1935, Court of First Instance judge in 1945, Solicitor General and Chief Special Prosecutor of the Japanese collaborators from 1945 to 1947 and four-term senator from 1947 to 1971.”
Colmenares likewise added that “Tañada also played a key unifying role in the anti-dictatorship front that was to unseat the Marcos regime in February 1986.”
Can we just give him a posthumous award?
