Quezon City or also known as QC to many is the largest(in
terms of land area) and the most populous city in the Philippines. QC got its
name from the second Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon who founded the city
and which replaced the City of Manila as the national capital for almost 3
decades.
Being a capital from 1948 to 1976 makes it a home for
various Government offices like the Batasang Pambansa which is a home for the
Philippine legislators and famous Quezon City
Hotels like Summit Hotel Magnolia. Aside from the House of Representatives,
