Betty Go-Belmonte Street is a street in the New Manila district of Quezon City, Philippines. It is a notable road in a generally northwest-southeast orientation between the junction with E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue and the junction with N. Domingo Street, all within New Manila. It is served by Betty Go-Belmonte station of the Manila Line 2.
The street was named after a notable Filipino journalist who was an institution with her contributions to the writing press during the Martial Law period as well as being one of the founders of two of the major broadsheet newspapers in the country, namely the Philippine Daily Inquirer and the Philippine Star. She was also the wife of former Quezon City Mayor and House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.[1]
Until 1997, the section of the street located in Mariana and Immaculate Conception was called Valley Road. In 2016, a resolution was passed by the Quezon City Council to name the full length of the street to N. Domingo Street as Betty Go-Belmonte Street.[2]
