May 1 is popularly known today as Labor Day, but in 1898 it was commemorated as the victory at the Battle of Manila Bay. Admiral George Dewey defeated the Spanish fleet and was celebrated as the \u201cHero of Manila.\u201d Such was his popularity that, had he run for president in 1901, many believed he could have become the next president of the United States. Before it became Roxas Boulevard, the famous stretch was originally named Dewey Boulevard in his honor, until it was changed in the 1960s.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I simply want to share them now, as a way of commemorating Dewey\u2019s remarkable feat at the Battle of Manila Bay.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
