Urbiztondo

Named after Juan Antonio de Urbiztondo, Marquiz of Solana, and the 73rd governor-general of the Philippines (1850-1853). He is known for leading the invading force to Jolo, Sulu in 1850 and 1851 which resulted in the incorporation of the Sultanate of Sulu’s territory into the Spanish crown until 1898.

The birthplace of General Antonio Luna and the new site of Rajah Soliman Science and Technology High School can be found along the street.
