customcommons=Roxas Boulevard, formerly known as Dewey Boulevard, is a road in
Metro Manila . It is an 8-lanearterial road and connects the centre of Manila withPasay City ,Parañaque City , and the province ofCavite . Named after former presidentManuel Roxas , it is one of the major arteries in the city's metropolitan network, designated Radial Road 1. It runs parallel toManila Bay , well-known for its sunsets. The boulevard, as a result, has become a trademark of Philippine tourism, famed for the yacht clubs, hotels and fine dining which lie on the eastern side of the road. It runs in a north-south direction from Luneta (Rizal Park ) inManila and ends in Parañaque City, at an intersection leading west to the new development of Asia World City, built on land reclaimed fromManila Bay , and leading east toNinoy Aquino International Airport . Beyond its southern terminus, it becomes theManila-Cavite Expressway , ending inBacoor, Cavite .
