Quezon City is not new to me. I pass by the city premises most of the time. May it be going home to my parents' house in Bulacan, I take a road trip along Commonwealth Avenue; Fairview too.. Not only were the roads familiar to me. I've been to several places in the city: Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife, UP Diliman, UP TechnoHub and La Mesa Eco Park to name a few.
And that's what the tour was all about.. To go to several landmarks in Quezon City that has made a mark either for the country's history or the city itself.
