Luciano Bacayo St., Cebu City

It is the road located at Veloso Subdivision, Guadalupe, Cebu City. It was then the Road Lot No. 11 of one of the biggest subdivision in the city at the time. 

The Cebu City Council on motion of Board President Florentino D. Tecson on January 5, 1950 enacted Ordinance No. 87, naming four unnamed roads at the Veloso Subdivision, Guadalupe, Cebu City.

Luciano was one of the trusted officers of Pantaleon Villegas more famously known as Gen. Leon Kilat. He accompanied Leon Kilat in their retreat to Carcar on April 7 (Holy Thursday) of 1898 when loyalist soldiers commenced to regain control of Cebu City from the KKK or the revolutionaries.

With them, were Andres Abellana, Gervacio Padilla and Nicanor Enriquez. On Good Friday (April 8) Leon Kilat was killed upon orders of the members of the Carcar Tribunal. Luciano was arrested, together with Andres Abellana, Vicente Reyes and Patricio Mosqueda. He was not however killed upon the persuasion of the other members of the principalia (leading families) and town junta. Their other comrades were not as fortunate as them, like Leon Kilat who was murdered while sleeping, suffered the same fate, they were Rufo Pusay and Lazaro Manapsal.

Luciano was pardoned and set free together with fellow members of the KKK like Andres Abellana, and his brothers, Lucas and Fabian. They were brought to the town plaza and tied, however were released after the deliberations of the town council. The town officials of Carcar believed that the death of Leon Kilat was enough to appease the coming Spanish authorities to regain control of the towns captured by the rebels. The death of Leon Kilat, was a strong message to all the other rebels.

The ordinance naming four roads, one of which after a revolutionary leader, Luciano Bacayo was approved on January 23, 1950 by Mayor Miguel Raffinan. It was not only Luciano of the Bacayo Clan who rendered heroism to Cebu, another member was Maj. Inocencio Bacayo who was military aide to Governor Hilario Abellana, who was captured and presumed to have been executed by the Japanese Imperial Army during the World War II.
