Quezon City, Most populous city in Metro Manila, Philippines

The metropolis stretches across 160 square kilometers of land, representing one-fourth of Metro Manila's total area and housing nearly 3 million residents.

Manuel L. Quezon established the city in 1939 as a replacement capital for Manila, which faced significant urban challenges including population density and infrastructure limitations.

The Quezon Memorial Circle features a national shrine with Art Deco architecture, housing a museum that displays artifacts from President Manuel Quezon's life and presidency.

The city contains multiple transportation hubs, connecting different parts of Metro Manila through train lines, bus networks, and major thoroughfares like EDSA and Commonwealth Avenue.

The Batasan Complex serves as the permanent home of the House of Representatives, making Quezon City a center of national legislative activities.
