What is the old name of EDSA?

• A. Highway 54
• B. Epifanio de los Santos Avenue
• C. Taft Avenue
• D. Roxas Boulevard

Answer: (A)

EDSA stands for Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, a major road in Manila. In the American era, this route carried the designation Highway 54 as part of the old national highway numbering system. It was later renamed to honor Epifanio de los Santos, a Filipino historian, becoming Epifanio de los Santos Avenue. So the old name is Highway 54. The other options are different streets with their own histories (Taft Avenue and Roxas Boulevard) and are not the former label of EDSA.
