Manila mayor orders removal of duplicate street signs

Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso has ordered the removal of duplicate street signs in the city that recently went viral online.

Mayor Domagoso clarified that the controversial signage was not installed by his current administration, but by the previous city administration under former Mayor Honey Lacuna.

The "installation of reflectorized street name signages located at Districts 1 to 6" project was approved on December 23, 2024, and had a budget of P39.9 million.

He criticized the project, saying the older street signs were still readable and visible at night, and the fund could have been spent for more sensible projects.

Moreno has allowed the city's Department of Engineering and Public Works to decide which of the overlapping street signs to remove.
