To honor the achievements of one of the city's prolific Pasiguenos, the local government of Pasig has declared June 22 as “Ka-Jovito Salonga Day,” coinciding with the statesman’s birthday.
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto bade farewell to the traditional practice of naming infrastructure projects, particularly government-owned buildings, after politicians, opting instead to recognize the achievements of prominent individuals who hailed from the city.
