In 1949, the civic center under these revisions was to be moved northeast from the elliptical circle to a 158 hectare area called Constitution Hill. The three branches of government and support offices were laid in a formal layout. In the middle was to be a 20 hectare Plaza of the Republic. in the middle right of the plaza was the proposed capitol housing the Congress of the Philippines; the proposed Palace of the Chief Executive that will replaced Malacañang Palace as the official residence of the president at its left; and an area allotted for the Supreme Court of the Philippines and other constitutional bodies. The whole complex was to be connected to Manila by an East-West parkway called Republic Avenue where a War Heroes Memorial was planned to be located.. That plan was submitted and approved by President Quirino but it would take close to thirty years before the Batasan Pambansa was completed in 1978.
