Quezon City Marks Founding Anniversary with Holiday, Coding Suspension

Quezon City residents are observing Quezon City Day today, August 19, 2025, commemorating the founding of the country’s most populous city.

As part of the celebration, the local government has lifted the number coding scheme for the entire day. Motorists are free to travel without restriction, with the measure aimed at easing mobility for residents joining the holiday activities.

City officials highlighted the occasion as an opportunity to honor Quezon City’s role as a center of culture, business, and community life. Established in 1939, the city has grown into a hub for government, education, and commerce, while continuing to attract migrants from across the country.

This year’s commemoration also reinforces the call for unity in building a disciplined, modern, and progressive city.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, QC! 🫶🏼🇵🇭🎉🎊
