Fruit bearing trees street names in Banawa, Cebu City

 In Banawa Hills (within Barangay Guadalupe) formerly named as Gonzales Subdivision streets are named after fruit bearing trees. The street names are not just unofficial names, they were named by virtue of an ordinance.

The Cebu City council on June 3, 1968 on motion of Councilor Bienvenido B. Tudtud enacted City Ordinance No. 620 naming formerly unnamed streets in Banawa Hills, Guadalupe, Cebu City. There were ten (10) streets given official names, these are:

 4.  Kaimito Street- 1st road crossing Lomboy Street.

 5.  Tambis Street- 2nd corner of Lomboy Street to the end at the East.

Duterte as Floor Leader, as Members: Bienvenido B. Tudtud, Arturo L. Abellana, Caridad A. Trocino, Jesus S. Gabuya, Jose V. Arias and Jose L. Rodriguez.

The street names have no historical or cultural relevance to the city or its residents and instead of changing/renaming street names named after persons or events, these street names are perfect candidates to be renamed.
