As a tribute to the late President Manuel L. Quezon, the bustling streets of Quezon City stop to honor the late President Manuel L. Quezon on his 144th birthday, which is recognized under Republic Act No. 6741. Through this historic law, Quezon Day has been declared a special non-working holiday in Quezon City, Quezon, and Aurora.
The first President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, President Manuel L. Quezon, was a visionary leader who left a lasting impression on the country. He was a devoted supporter of social justice, education, and national unity. He laid the path for a stronger, more cohesive Philippines by establishing Quezon City as a symbol of development and inclusivity and declaring Tagalog as the country's official language.
Quezon Day is a time for reflection and harmony. While others remain in their essential jobs, such as those employed in essential services, including law enforcement, traffic management, fire protection, health and rescue, as well as disaster response and management, the day presents a chance to recognize President Quezon's accomplishments and the city's diverse cultural heritage. As the country reflects on its past, it also looks to the future with a renewed dedication to the principles that President Quezon treasured.
