context_page_description: Circumferential Road 5, more commonly known as C-5 Road or C-5, is a network of roads and bridges that altogether forms a major route that transverses in Metro Manila, in the National Capital Region of the Philippines. It is also known officially as Carlos P. Garcia Avenue, and as National Route 11, National Route 128, National Route 129, and National Route 128 in the National Route Numbering System implemented in 2014. Expressway portions, part of the North Luzon Expressway Mindanao Avenue and Karuhatan Links, are designated components of Expressway 5.
  The road serves as a beltway around Metro Manila, spanning some 32.5 kilometers as it transverses through the cities of Valenzuela, Quezon City, Pasig, Makati, Taguig, Pasay, Parañaque, and Las Piñas. It runs parallel to the four other beltways around Metro Manila, and is also known for being the second most important transportation corridor, after Circumferential Road 4, better known as EDSA.
  The road is not yet complete to date, because of certain controversies regarding right of way, but portions of the road are already open for public use.
context_section_description: The proposal for the Metro Manila Arterial Road System was done in the late 1960s. The proposal states of building 10 Radial Roads and 6 Circumferential Roads to support the growing vehicular population of the Metropolitan Manila.
  The 5th Circumferential Road began construction in 1986. Under the power of Republic Act 8224, which was passed on November 6, 1996, the C-5 road was legally known as President Carlos P. Garcia Avenue, honoring the eighth president of the Republic of the Philippines, Carlos P. Garcia.
