The street was named after Elpidio Quirino, a political leader and the second president
of the Independent Republic of the Philippines. He declared the municipality of Alamada
as a public land on March 10, 1953 and made it as a resettlement site under
Proclamation No. 376. After its declaration as a resettlement area, President Quirino
designated the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to implement the “Land for the
Landless Program”.
Elpidio Quirino was not a hero or a leader. Corruption and cronyism have tarnished his
image. He was re-elected president in 1949, under suspicion of dishonest and
fraudulent election. He is notorious for tolerating widespread bribery and corruption
inside his party, allowing immorality in the military, and ignoring the hardship of the
majority of Filipinos. He will never be thought of as a hero.

and known to be the largest EDCOR (Economic Development Corps) farm with 863
settler-families cultivating an area of 4,959 hectares.
