The Spanish left many things behind in the Philippines.

They left behind their names, they left behind their religion, and even the blood that runs through my veins.

But there's no place more obvious than a place called España in Zampaloc.

Ako po si Carlos Andran, and this is another episode of Cuentong Canto.

Aside from being the main road of Zampaloc District, España is also one of the historical places here in Manila.

But about the Spanish,

before it was named as Spain, this area was part of the Hacienda de Sulucan.

The Hacienda de Sulucan is one of the ten neighborhoods that used to be built in the Zampaloc area of Manila.

This land was owned by Doña Catalina de Guzman,

wife of one of the officials of the Spanish government named Captain Juan de Cañero.

And this is where the story of Cuentong Canto of España began.

When the year 69,

1904,

Doña Catalina of España

gave the land to the mothers of the Monasterio de Santa Clara.

But when the year 1905 came,

the mothers of the Monasterio of España gave the land to the mothers of the Spanish government named Antonio de la Riva,

and the U.S.T. lawyer, Alfredo Chicote.

But because of the budget,

the two of them owe 300,000 pesos to Padre Buenaventura Garcia Paredes.

They immediately borrowed money from Padre Buenaventura Garcia Paredes

so that they could build a house for the land if they were able to get it.

They got the land and established the Sulucan Development Company Limited.

In 1913, the company shared a portion of their land

to make the main road to the Sulucan.

But their condition is that it will be called Spain.

The agreement will be broken if it is not fulfilled.

More than 40,000 pesos were donated to the company.

More than 40,000 pesos were donated to the company.

More than 40 years na ang nakakaraan.

Tinangkang palitan ng local government of Manila ang pangalan bilang Quezon.

Pero umapela ang mga tagapagmana ni de la Riva.

Kaya bigo itong napalitan.

And even despite the many attempts to change it,

the name España still remains.

A symbol of Spain's permanent position in our history.

Ako po si Carlos Teldran,

and this was another episode of Cuentong Gato.

Hasta luego.

Thank you.
