LUCENA CITY: As the country celebrates the 150th birth anniversary of Gat Andres Bonifacio, a city councilor here introduced an exceptional move to honor the patriotism and heroism by sponsoring a construction of a life-size monument in a rotunda and naming a bridge in Barangay Ilayang Iyam, this city, after Bonifacio.

City Councilor Benito Brizuela, the council’s chairman committee on tourism and cultural affairs, archives, museums and libraries and law, said that his ordinance was entitled “an ordinance naming the bridge of Pleasantville Subdivision, Barangay Ilayang Iyam, Lucena City as Andres Bonifacio bridge, in recognition of the bravery and heroism of Gat Andres Bonifacio, a national hero, in accordance with paragraph  (B) section 13, chapter 2 of Republic Act (RA) 7160” and officially naming the unnamed street leading to the bridge of Pleasantville Subdivision.
