Osmeña Boulevard
Osmeña Boulevard is a major arterial thoroughfare in Cebu City, Philippines. It is the city's "main street" which travels in a generally northwest-southeast orientation linking the old downtown district of San Roque near the harbor with the modern uptown Capitol Site district. Beginning at Mariano Jesus Cuenco Avenue in the east, the boulevard heads northwest towards Fuente Osmeña circle and ends at Nicolas Escario Street. At its north end, the Cebu Provincial Capitol serves as a prominent terminating vista. It is the location of many of Cebu's notable institutions such as the Cebu Normal University, Abellana National School and Cebu Doctors' University Hospital; the Basilica of Santo Niño; the city's tallest building, Crown Regency Hotel; and shopping centers Robinsons Place Cebu and Gaisano Colon.
==History==
Osmeña Boulevard was developed during the American period to connect the old Spanish colonial town of Cebu to outlying areas being opened up by the American government as its new city.〔(Giving Cebu back its Main Street ) published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer; accessed 2013-12-12.〕 It was formerly named Jones Avenue, after U.S. Congressman William Atkinson Jones who sponsored the bill known as Jones Law or Philippine Autonomy Law of 1916. It was renamed in honor of Sergio Osmeña, the third Philippine president and his wife Estefania Veloso Osmeña who owned a mansion and estate along the boulevard on March 29, 1960 by virtue of City Ordinance No. 284.〔(The then Doña Pepang Avenue of Cebu City ) published by the Philippine Star; accessed 2013-12-12.〕
