Aguinaldo Boulevard
Comment: The LLM decline is not only about prose. The sources listed don't support the information. Linking to a general GIS database of roads is not enough to support the description of the road's length. The entire paragraph about the names of the intersections is unsourced and the act naming it the Aguinaldo Boulevard is cited multiple times for claims about history or prior road information that is not actually in the 2 sentences of the Act. Also would fail WP:SECONDARY. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 02:19, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

The Aguinaldo Boulevard is a four-to-six lane major arterial thoroughfare in Bacoor, Cavite, Philippines. Originally built as the coastal highway known as the Manila–Cavite Coastal Road, the route was officially named Aguinaldo Boulevard in 1989 in honor of Emilio Aguinaldo, the first president of the Philippines.[1][2]
Route description
At present, Aguinaldo Boulevard serves as connection route to the Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX). Its eastern terminus originates at the intersection of Aguinaldo Highway and Bacoor Boulevard known as the Bacoor Junction. Traversing westward, it passes through commercial and residential areas before terminating at the Longos Junction (below the Longos Flyover), an intersection connecting Alabang–Zapote Road and the entrance/exit ramps of CAVITEX.[3]
Bacoor Boulevard is divided into three road segments.[3] The easternmost section from Bacoor Junction to its intersection with Las Piñas–Talaba Diversion Road is known as the "McDonald Jct–Aguinaldo Highway." The westbound lane leading toward CAVITEX from its intersection with Las Piñas–Talaba Diversion Road to the Longos Junction is known as the "McDonald Jct–Aguinaldo NSR to Cavitex." The eastbound lane near its western terminus from Longos Junction back at the intersection with Las Piñas–Talaba Diversion Road is known as "Cavitex–McDonald Aguinaldo Road."
Historically, the entire thoroughfare spanned further north along the coast of Manila Bay, starting from the corner of Roxas Boulevard and MIA Road (now NAIA Road) in Parañaque and extending southward through Las Piñas and Cavite.[1]
History
The roadway traces its roots to the early 20th-century urban master plan by American architect Daniel Burnham, who envisioned a continuous shoreline highway named Cavite Boulevard connecting Manila to Cavite.[4] In 1963, Republic Act No. 3572 authorized funds to extend Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard) toward Cavite City.[5]
By 1973, under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos, the project evolved into the "Manila Bay Coastal Road Project" to reduce traffic on Quirino Avenue.[6] Public biddings for shoreline reclamation and bridge structures were conducted in the mid-1970s, with Japanese firm Marubeni securing reclamation contracts.[7][8] In 1983, portions of the Manila–Cavite Coastal Road was opened and were fully operational by the mid-to-late 1980s.[6]
On June 18, 1989, Republic Act No. 6730 was signed, officially naming the entire Manila–Cavite Coastal Road as Aguinaldo Boulevard.[2] Beginning in 1998, the segment of the highway from its intersection with Roxas Boulevard and MIA Road were constructed as the segment 1 of Manila–Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), while the section of the highway from Longos Junction leading towards Bacoor Junction remained part of the boulevard.[9]
