History
People’s Homesite and Housing Corporation (PHHC)
The People's Homesite and Housing Corporation played a major role in the development of Quezon City after the city's inauguration as the capital of the Philippines on October 22, 1949. It was responsible for the development of the land purchased as early as 1938 belonging to the Diliman Estate of the Tuason family. Construction of the Roxas Homesite along Diliman creek commenced the series of in-city housing projects namely: Quirino District ; Magsaysay District, with the very first “Newsmen row” in the country; Bagong Pag-asa, which was the first informal settlers’ resettlement area; Veterans Village ; and Toro Hills Homesite.From the original land appropriated to Project 7, PHHC decided to split the area into North Bago Bantay and South Bago Bantay. The northern portion is now Barangay Ramon Magsaysay while the southern part officially becomes Veterans Village after a Quezon City resolution was passed in 1956.
