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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
