Quezon City - Turn your headlights from 6pm to 6am

Quezon City’s 1st Districr Councilor Jun Ferrer Jr. reminded the public of ordinance number SP1852 S-08 which compels drivers of both private and public utility vehicles (PUV) to turn on their headlights on from 6PM to 6AM the next day. This ordinance was issued to deter road mishaps, Quezon City authorities said.


A recent meeting with the Quezon City Police District Director San Diego, councilor Ferrer told him to instruct the police to strictly enforce the ordinance to ensure public safety on major roads and streets in the city. Failure to comply to this ordinance will result in stiff fines and possible jail terms.

Quezon City is the former capital (1948–1976) and the most populous city in the Philippines. Located on the island of Luzon, Quezon City (popularly known to Filipinos as simply QC) is one of the cities and municipalities that make up Metro Manila, the National Capital Region. The city was named after Manuel L. Quezon, the former president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines who founded the city and developed it to replace Manila as the country’s capital. Quezon City is not located in and should not be confused with Quezon province, which was also named after the president.
