Quezon City, the most populous city in the
Philippines, is politically subdivided into 142 barangays. All of Quezon City's barangays are classified as urban.[1]
These barangays are grouped into six
congressional districts, with each district represented by a congressman in the
House of Representatives. As of July 2, 2012, President Benigno S. Aquino III signed into law Republic Act No. 10170, dividing and reapportioning the Second District into three legislative districts, namely the Second, Fifth and Sixth Districts.
Each Barangay has a history behind its name. Most of the Barangays in Quezon City are named in honor of the peoples residing in the area, their Barangay Patron Saint, and the land and location features in the area.
This can be also subject to corrections and suggestions, as it was an initial map of it.
