Ramon Papa
Ramon Papa Street, also known as R. Papa Street, is a short street in Tondo, Manila, Philippines located in barrio Obrero close to the city's northern border with Caloocan. It runs east-west from Rizal Avenue by its namesake LRT station at the district's border with Santa Cruz to Cecilio Namie Street by its border with Caloocan.
The street was named after Ramon Papa, a prominent doctor and soldier from Manila during the American colonial period. He was elected to the Manila City Council in 1912.[Papa also served as a member of the Philippine Independence Mission sent by President Manuel Luis Quezon to Washington, D.C. and his concern on the health of Filipinos lead him to build the first public toilets and baths all over the city. In his honor, the Manila government named the street (and by extension the LRT station) after him.
