JOSE W. DIOKNO BOULEVARD was inaugurated on November 6, 2007. The road goes from Roxas Boulevard, passes by the World Trade Center and the Senate, cuts in front of the Mall of Asia (it is the road where the big globe lies), and will eventually extend out of Metro Manila, all the way to Cavite.

Ka Pepe … he was like a father to me, in a way … I came across the man in the IBP election in the 1980’s which we have organized in Pasig and we set up a People’s Boycott Center … Bobbit (Sanchez) still won in that election .. Ka Pepe is one leader I truly admired … I hope there will be another as brilliant and as genuine a public servant as he is …. Any takers? Calling Ka Pepe’s children or children’s children … let us truly make our country A NATION FOR OUR CHILDREN!!
