During the war, many of the families were dislocated or evacuated to safer places in the city. However, after the war, most of them returned back to Sampaloc and Balete. In late 1945, the elders, who were the respected community leaders at the time, decided to consolidate Sampaloc and Balete into one and apparently with the idea of giving it a permanent name. The original settlers being predominantly Catholic came out to name the place as "Sta. Catalina" in honor of St. Catherine de Sienna, who is considered as one of the greatest woman saints in the Catholic community, aside from the fact that, they pray for their protection from St. Catherine de Sienna from the cruelty of the Japanese soldiers during the war. From then on, the place was known as Sta. Catalina. | During the war, many of the families were dislocated or evacuated to safer places in the city.
