Quezon City is the biggest city in the Philippines. It is also one of the component cities that form Metro Manila. The city covers 166.2 sq km (64.2 sq mi) and has a population of 2.7 million people (2011 estimate).
Located at an average elevation of 17 m, it was incorporated on 12 October, 1939 from the former Diliman Estate. The Diliman name remains today as the center of Quezon City, and the location of many educational institutions. Quezon City was named after Manuel L. Quezon, who was the president of the Commonwealth of the Philippnes from 1935 until 1944. Quezon had developed the city to replace Manila as the country's capital.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
