History
The proposal for the Metro Manila Arterial Road System was done in the late 1960s. The proposal states of building 10 Radial Roads and 6 Circumferential Roads to support the growing vehicular population of the Metropolitan Manila.
The 5th Circumferential Road began construction in 1986. It was renamed as President Carlos P. Garcia Avenue upon the approval of the Philippine Republic Act 8224 in November 6, 1996. Based on the main proposal, the road shall have the approximate length of 51 kilometres (32 mi) when completed, however, because of the senate controversies, the road is not yet complete to date.
