Quezon City Jubilee Celebration Kicks-Off

October is my favorite month because for me, it means celebrations. It’s my birthday month and luckily, it’s my HOME’s anniversary too. I’ve been living in Quezon City for more almost 30 years. I have seen it developed and now that it marks 75 years of cityhood, I’m glad to be a part of the diamond jubilee celebration.

During the celebratory kick-off at Quezon Memorial Circle last October 1, we were refreshed about the history of QC and toured inside Manuel Luis Quezon’s Heritage Home.
