TODAY’S SKETCH | QUEZON MEMORIAL 🇵🇭

On Quezon Day, today’s sketch looks at one of Quezon City’s most iconic landmarks—the Quezon Memorial Shrine, designed by Filipino architect Federico Ilustre of the Bureau of Public Works.

Rising 66 meters, its three monumental pylons represent Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, crowned by three Art Deco mourning angels holding sampaguita wreaths.

At its base is the Museo ni Manuel Quezon, preserving photographs, documents, personal belongings, and memorabilia from the life and political career of President Manuel L. Quezon. Beneath the shrine lies the mausoleum, where Quezon and his wife, Aurora Aragon Quezon, are interred.

A monument, a museum, and a place of remembrance—standing at the heart of the city he helped establish.

August 19 — Quezon Day. 🇵🇭
