Lucena City:

Personality behind the Name of Street 

               

               Always hanging on the laps of my imaginations are the stuff that made me think of what is really behind those names hanging rectangularly on metal plates on every corner of Lucena City.

                Each of t hese provides directions to travelers who do not go astray. Attached to each solid pillar, these metal plates bear the name of every street in the city.

                In a research, I found out the origins of these names. Then I suddenly wandered, who are the people named in these streets and why? According to the Lucena City website, three of the streets are named after famous personalities who have been part of the city's history.

                The first was Father Mariano Granja from which the name Granja Street was taken. Father Granja is a Fabriscan priest who works as a principalia, or part of the electoral body that manages the community leadership vote.

                He played a part in the promotion of the new municipality which was later called Lucena. The next street is taken from the name of Hermana Fausta Labrador, a teacher and social worker who also founded Sacred Heart College.

               Right now he's a candidate for a Saint. The last of these three streets is the origin of Enriquez Street. He was Faustino Enriquez, Lucena's first governor. There are a lot of origins that are city has been up to that's why we need to know more about each and every story that can help us know, what was really the main state of our municipality back then.
