More than just being recognized as the “City of the Stars,” there is a myriad of reasons why Quezon City shines on.
Back in the day, Quezon City was recognized worldwide as a significant city where the historic People Power Revolution occurred. Today, it is the most populous city in the metropolis, and is one of the more highly urbanized cities in Metro Manila. While Makati City is recognized as the Philippines’ financial district, QC is the designated hub of information technology and entertainment industry in the Philippines–both of which have afforded the city a good reputation.
In a nutshell, Quezon City is by far the largest and most populous city in Metro Manila. The city is home to a cross-section of returning OFWs, Filipinos, people in the information tech industry, students and several celebrities who thrive under the metropolitan’s idyllic and charming cosmopolitan vibe. For many years, individuals from all over the country benefited from the excellent educational opportunities available in Quezon City. Similarly, locals from neighboring cities and provinces also descend to the city for its limitless and diverse shopping options.
Admittedly, the daily commute in Quezon City is nothing to write home about. By now, residents in the area can already attest to EDSA’s constantly bad traffic. However, perpetual traffic seems to be the only drawback to living in Quezon City (and the dilemma exists only to people who work in neighboring cities and need to commute daily). Otherwise, Quezon City is still arguably one of the best places to live in Metro Manila. With the construction of the MRT Line 7, public transportation within the city will be a viable alternative to the daily commute once it starts running.
While the city is highly urbanized, its ecological and economic features make it distinct. Today, Quezon City remains at the top.
