Roxas Boulevard in Manila.

The Roxas Boulevard (former name: Dewey Boulevard ) is a boulevard in Metro Manila . The eight-lane main artery connects the center of Manila with Pasay City and Parañaque City . It is one of the most important connections in the road network of the metropolitan area around the Philippine capital and is designated as Radial Road 1 . The previous name in honor of the American Admiral George Dewey , who defeated the Spanish Navy in the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898 , was changed in the 1960s in honor of Manuel Roxas , the fifth President of the Philippines in Roxas Boulevard. Roxas Boulevard runs along the shoreline of Manila Bay and is known for its sunset views. It developed into the trademark of Filipino tourism, to which the yacht club , several hotels , upscale restaurants and parks have contributed. The curved road leads from north to south. The northern end point is at Rizal Park in Manila. In the south, the road ends in Parañaque City at the intersection with Ninoy Aquino International Airport Road (NAIA Road for short).
