I hailed from Quezon City.
From 1948-1976, it was the capital of the Philippines.

So i can only post a pix of the QC Memorial Shrine here.

Quezon Memorial Circle/Shrine
The tallest structure in the city, Quezon Memorial Circle pierces 66 meters to the sky, a fitting tribute to the founder of Quezon City and one of the country's greatest statesmen, President Manuel Luis Quezon. The monument which was built in the center of the 27-hectare rotunda park also boasts a museum housing priceless Quezonian items plus the added attraction of the remains of this great man laid to rest in a bronze casket and marble niche.

Philippines has 7,100 islands. So here's another pix taken at Puerto Galera Mindoro.[img_assist|nid=13022|title=Puerto Galera, Mindoro|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=123]

Philippines- known for its tourist spots, dive spots, nice heritage, and smiling people

Even Enya's song " Orinoco Flow" has got "Cebu" in it
