To the poll question “Do you approve of the proposed bill renaming Edsa [Epifanio de los Santos Avenue] to Cory Aquino Avenue,” 2,019, or 82.88 percent of the total 2,436 respondents said no, while only 417 or 17.12 percent voted yes to the week-long poll.
In honor of the late president, last week Bohol Representative Rene Relampagos filed House Bill 5422 to change the name of the 24-kilometer long Edsa formerly known as Highway 54.
The road runs a semicircle around Manila and passes through the cities of Pasay, Makati, Mandaluyong, Quezon and Caloocan.
