House Bill No. 10892 proposes to rename a significant road in Ormoc City, Leyte, as the Benjamin Pongos Avenue. This road, currently known by various descriptions including the Ormoc-Lake Imelda National Tertiary Road, connects Barangay East, Barangay North, and Barangay Donghol. The change in name honors an individual, Benjamin Pongos, whose contributions or legacy are deemed worthy of public recognition through this renaming.
The renaming of this national tertiary road holds local significance for the people of Ormoc City. Such an act aims to commemorate the person for whom the road is named, potentially inspiring community pride or acknowledging historical contributions. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will be responsible for implementing the new name, ensuring that the necessary rules and circulars are issued within sixty days of the Act's effectivity, which will occur fifteen days after its publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation.
