Tabora

Named after Juan Nino de Tabor, the 19th governor-general of the Philippines (1626-1632). His designation in the colony marked the arrival of the image of the Our Lady of Peace of Good Voyage or the Virgin of Antipolo. He also oversaw the construction of the Puente de Espana (also known as El Puente Grande or Puente Piedral), the first bridge to span the Pasig River in 1630.

General Macario Sakay, a Katipunan leader who fought in the 1896 Revolution and the Philippine-American War was born on this street between 1870 to 1878.
