Quezon City Audio Tours

Quezon City, often referred to as the "City of Stars," is not only the largest city in Metro Manila but also the richest and most populous city in the Philippines. With a vibrant tapestry of history, culture, and innovation, it offers travelers an exhilarating glimpse into the heart of Filipino life. Founded on October 12, 1939, the city was named after Manuel L. Quezon, the second president of the Philippines, aiming to solve the overcrowding issues in Manila.

Before the establishment of Quezon City, the land it occupies was part of several towns, including Caloocan, Marikina, and San Juan. Faced with urban challenges such as overcrowding, inadequate housing, and poor sanitation in Manila during the 1930s, President Quezon envisioned a new city that would serve as the national capital and provide a better quality of life for its residents.
