It is named after Enrique Mendiola, an educator, textbook author and a member of the first Board of Regents of the University of the Philippines, and being close to Malacañan Palace, the President's official residence, has been the site of numerous and sometimes bloody demonstrations.[2]Coordinates: 14°35'55"N 120°59'30"E [3] The street crosses the Mendiola Bridge, officially known as Chino Roces Bridge in honor of Chino Roceshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chino_Roces], a well-known Martial Law figure (although an illuminated street sign above the intersection of Recto and Mendiola erroneously calls the place Chino Roces Avenue). Mendiola massacre[4] also called Black Thursday by some Filipino journalists, was an incident that took place in Mendiola Street, San Miguel, Manila, Philippines on January 22, 1987, in which state security forces violently dispersed a farmers' march to Malacañan Palace. Thirteen of the peasants were killed and many wounded when government anti-riot forces opened fire on the marchers.[5]
