Bayani- ang salitang tumutukoy sa taong matapang, may paninindigan, may malasakit sa kapwa at pag-ibig sa bayan.

Ngayong ika-26 ng Agosto, ating ipagdiwang ang Araw ng mga Bayani. Ang araw na itinalaga upang sariwain at bigyang-pugay ang hindi matatawarang katapangan at kagitingan ng mga kapwa nating Pilipino na nag-alay ng kanilang buhay upang makamit ang kalayaang inaasam para sa ating Inang Bayan.

Tunay ngang hindi mapapantayan ang kanilang pagmamahal sa kapwa at sa bayan. Magsilbi nawa silang huwaran at inspirasyon sa bawat mamayan.

Maligayang Araw ng mga Bayani, QCitizens!

24/08/2024

Sa pagdiriwang ng History Month ngayong Agosto, pinangunahan ng National Historical Commission of the Philippines ang pag-organisa ng HistoEx: Where History and Experience Converge, na kasalukuyang nagaganap sa Quantum Sky-view, Gateway Mall 2, Cubao, Quezon City. Ang tatlong araw na expo ay nagsimula kahapon, Agosto 23 at magtatagal hanggang Agosto 25.

Mga QCitizens, halina at bisitahin ang ikatlong araw ng expo at makibahagi sa mga aktibidad ng HistoEx sa Gateway bukas!

23/08/2024

Ngayong araw sa kasaysayan, ating gunitain ang kabayanihan at mga naging kontribusyon ni Apolonio Samson sa panahon ng paghihimagsik ng mga Pilipino noong 1896. Si Samson ay nakiisa sa pakikipaglaban at adhikaing lumaya ang Pilipinas. Ang tahanan niya ay nagsilbing kanlungan para sa mga kapwa niya katipunero. Siya ay nagbigay ng pagkain at pangunahing pangangailangan ng mga maghihimagsik habang sila ay naghahanda para sa rebolusyon. Ang kaniyang pagsuporta ay naging daan upang maisakatuparan ang pagpupunit ng cedula na naging hudyat ng pagsisimula ng laban para sa Kalayaan ng Pilipinas.

Nawa'y maging inspirasyon ng lahat ang pagtulong ni Samson sa kapwa niya Pilipino.

22/08/2024

Ngayong ika-23 ng Agosto, ating gunitain ang ika- 128 anibersaryo ng Sigaw ng Pugad Lawin, ang makasaysayang sigaw ng mga katipunero laban sa hukbo ng mga espanyol. Sila ay matapang na nakipaglaban, tumindig at nagbuwis ng buhay makamtan lamang ang kasarinlan ng ating bayan.

Magsilbi nawa silang inspirasyon sa bawat mamamayan.

Sa pag gunita ng ika-146 na anibersaryo ng kapanganakan ng Ama ng Lungsod Quezon, ating tunghayan ang isang special video upang higit nating makilala ang buhay at mga naging kontribusyon ni Pangulong Manuel Luis Quezon sa kasarinlan ng ating bayan.

18/08/2024

Magiting, mapagmahal sa bayan, at may malasakit sa kapwa - ilan lamang ito sa mga salitang naglalarawan sa Ama ng Wikang Pambansa na si Pangulong Manuel Luis Quezon.

Si Pangulong Quezon, ang ama ng Lungsod Quezon, ang nagbigay-daan upang mapalawak ang karapatan ng mga kababaihan sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaloob ng karapatang bumoto. Siya rin ang nagsulong ng pambansang wika na naging basehan ng Wikang Pambansa. Binuksan niya ang Pilipinas para sa mahigit isang libong Jewish refugees noong panahon ng Unang Digmaang Pandaigdig.

Kaya naman atin siyang alalahanin at bigyang pugay ngayong ngayong ika -19 ng Agosto sa paggunita ng kanyang kapanganakan.

Mabuhay ang kanyang mga adhikain at kadakilaan, nawa ay manatili siyang inspirasyon ng mga Pilipino!

Independence Day 2024

Kalayaan. Kasaysayan. Kinabukasan

Urban Sketchers- QC and Urban Sketchers Global had a blast touring, learning from our Tourism Department’s tour guides who took them to our cultural sites, and sketched their way everywhere in QC! This event happened from March 15-17,2024 around Quezon City starting at the stretch of the Maginhawa food community, the Quezon Heritage House, the Presidential Car Museum, Quezon Museum and Shrine and the QC Hall complex. Urban Sketchers Global Executive Board is a group of foreign artists from different parts of the world advocating freedom of expression through “street art” activities and conducting several art workshops for free. Urban sketching is an act of drawing or painting on location in the cities, towns, or villages that you live in and travel to. You are capturing a moment in time in a unique, artistic way. The group was treated with a tour around the QC Memorial Circle and held several Free art sessions at the Social Hall of Quezon Heritage House.

Ang Simbang Gabi ay isang kinaugaliang pagdaraos ng Santa Misa sa Pilipinas tuwing panahon ng Kapaskuhan. Tinatawag din itong Misa-de-galyo mula sa Kastilang Misa de Gallo, o “misa ng tandang”, sapagkat sa pagtilaok ng lalaking manok, magsisibangon na ang mga mag-anak para makinig ng misa sa pinakamalapit na simbahang pamparokya. Naririto ang mga ilan sa mga Simbahang Katoliko mula sa anim na distrito ng Lungsod Quezon is at ang mga talakdaan ng misa. Isang mapayapang pagdalo sa isa sa mga pinakamatagal at pinakabantog na tradisyong Pilipino. #lungsodquezon #paskongpilipino #tradisyon #simbahangkatoliko
