Many of the younger millennial generation have heard of locations mentioned in old books, articles and documents relating to the city of Manila that are no longer on the map.
This is because several names of streets in Manila had since underwent a name change in the past, following nearly four centuries of colonial occupation.
Take for example the Raon Street, that famous road that houses gazillions of electronic gadgets, speakers and TV sets which is now called Gonzalo Puyat Street and Divisoria that is now called Salas Street. Dakota is now Adriatico Street and Herran is now Pedro Gil Street.
Find below the list of renamed streets in Manila.
