Quezon City ( ;〔("Quezon City" ), ''Oxford Dictionaries'' (retrieved 2015-10-16)〕 , also known to Filipinos by its initials as QC) is the most populous city in the Philippines. It is one of the cities that make up Metro Manila, the National Capital Region of the Philippines. Quezon City was named after Manuel L. Quezon, second President of the Philippines, who founded the city and developed it to replace the City of Manila as the national capital for 28 years from 1948 to 1976.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=21 November 2006 )〕 Quezon City is not located in and should not be confused with Quezon Province, which was also named after the president. It is the largest city in Metro Manila in terms of land area and most populated local government unit in the country.
Having been the national capital for almost three decades, Quezon City is the site of many government offices, including the Batasang Pambansa Complex, which is the seat of the House of Representatives (the lower chamber of the Philippine Congress).〔 Quezon City also holds the University of the Philippines Diliman, the national university, and Ateneo de Manila University.
==History==

Before Quezon City was created, it was composed of small individual towns of San Francisco del Monte, Novaliches, and Balintawak. On August 23, 1896, the Katipunan led by its ''Supremo'' Andrés Bonifacio, launched the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Empire in the house of Melchora Aquino in Pugad Lawin (now known as Balintawak).
In the early 20th century, President Manuel L. Quezon dreamt of a city that would become the future capital of the country to replace Manila. It is believed that his earlier trip to Mexico influenced his vision.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=QUEZON CITY BRIEF HISTORY, PHILIPPINES (Official Website of PhilTravelcenter.com - Quezon City Metro Manila, Philippines) )
In 1938, President Quezon created the People's Homesite Corporation and purchased from the vast Diliman estate of the Tuason family; this piece of land became known then as ''Barrio Obrero'' ("Workers' Village"). The National Assembly of the Philippine Commonwealth passed Commonwealth Act 502 known as the Charter of Quezon City originally proposed as "Balintawak City", Assemblymen Narciso Ramos and Ramon Mitra, Sr. successfully lobbied the assembly to name the city after the incumbent president. President Quezon allowed the bill to lapse into law without his signature on October 12, 1939, thus establishing Quezon City.〔〔
After the war, Republic Act No. 333 which redefined the Caloocan–Quezon City boundary was signed by Elpidio Quirino on July 17, 1948, declaring Quezon City to be the republic's capital, and specifying the city's area to be .

This caused the territorial division of Caloocan into two non-contiguous parts, the South section being the more urbanized part, and the North half being sub-rural.

On March 31, 1978, President Ferdinand Marcos ordered the transfer of the remains of President Manuel L.
