The Quezon City Council wants to name a social hall after former Mayor Norberto S. Amoranto in recognition of his achievements as the city’s chief executive from 1954 to 1972.

City Resolution 7649-2018, introduced by Councilors Franz Pumaren and Godofredo T. Liban II, states that the central portion of the ground floor of the high-rise building inside the city hall compound should be named after Amoranto, who served as city mayor for 22 years.

It was under Amoranto’s term that the city hall’s iconic high rise was constructed.

At present, the 15-story structure houses the Office of the Mayor, Office of the City Administrator, City Treasurer’s Office, Human Resources Department, and the General Services Department.

According to former Councilor Alberto M. Galarpe, who served as a Business Permit and Licensing Office chief during late mayor’s term, Amoranto worked hard for building’s construction after the current site was bought from the People’s Homesite and Housing Corp..

After its completion in 1972, the structure became the home of the Quezon City government which was formerly occupying a two-story wooden building along EDSA in front of Nepa Q. Mart.

“As a fitting testimonial to the intense desire of the employees of Quezon City Hall during the said flag ceremony that coincided with the 104th birth anniversary of Mayor Amoranto to preserve the memory of the ‘Man that built Quezon City Hall’, the naming of that portion of the ground floor of the city hall as the Mayor Norberto S. Amoranto Hall was proposed,” the resolution reads.

Mayor Herbert M. Bautista is expected to approve and sign the resolution as soon as possible.
