Ipinasa ng House Committee on Public Works and Highways ang pagpapangalan sa pitong pambansang lansangan sa Rizal bilang Jose Rizal Highway.
Pinagtibay ng komite, na pinamumunuan ni Benguet Rep. Ronald M. Cosalan, ang House Bill 6130 na inakda ni Antipolo City Rep. Romeo M. Acop bago nag-adjourn ang Kongreso.
“The bill seeks to rename certain national roads in the province of Rizal to Jose Rizal Highway in honor of a distinguished Filipino nationalist regarded by many as ‘The Pride of the Malay Race’ and foremost Filipino who ever lived,” ani Acop. (Bert de Guzman)
