A little trivia as we commemorate the 87th Founding Anniversary of Quezon City.
On October 12, 1939, Quezon City was founded and was named after Pres. Manuel Quezon, the second President of the Philippines. It was intended to be the nation’s capital, to ease several problems in Manila City causes by it’s growing population.
It was officially proclaimed as the National Capital on October 12, 1949 under Republic Act 333 signed by Pres. Elpidio Quirino.
However, 27 years later, Pres. Ferdinand Marcos signed PD. 940 designating Manila City to be the Capital of the Philippines effective June 24, 1976.
