Quezon city: The Quezon City government announced it has completed 167 infrastructure projects in 2025, ahead of the launch of a new public dashboard in 2026 that will allow residents to monitor all city-funded construction. During Monday’s flag-raising ceremony, QC Engineering Department chief Mark Dale Peral reported that the completed projects amount to a total of PHP5.6 billion.
According to Philippines News Agency, Peral stated that the completion rate is almost 50 percent higher compared to last year. Among the completed projects are the newly opened Elevated Landscape Promenade, a pedestrian- and bike-friendly structure linking the QC Circle to the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife; Barangay Santa Cruz evacuation center in District 1; QC Schools Division Office Building; Amoranto Sports Complex swimming pool; and dry storage warehouse for the Social Services Development Department in Payatas.
At the community level, the city also finished mortuary buildings in Barangay Bagong Pag-asa and Barangay Nagkaisang Nayon, a community center in Barangay Pasong Putik, and the rehabilitation of Bahay Modernismo inside Quezon Memorial Circle. Several school projects were completed as well, including the Payatas Elementary School rehabilitation, SP Building at Commonwealth High School, QC Science High School gym and Do±a Juana Elementary School covered court.
The city government has likewise completed the dialysis center and building rehabilitation works at Rosario Maclang Bautista General Hospital. Peral said the local government will continue to push for sustainability through the solarization of city-owned buildings. ‘From the total target of 3.9-megawatt peak, we have already energized 2.9 megawatts peak, which will result to at least PHP40 million in savings,’ he said. The solarization currently covers the Quezon City General Hospital, 35 buildings across various public schools, and five buildings within the city hall, with more installations underway.
Peral highlighted the city’s data-driven flood control and mobility initiatives as key accomplishments for the year. These include clearing about 65 kilometers of drainage lines; removing 34,000 cubic meters of silt and debris; and constructing around 52,000 square meters of new roads. Detention basins were also built in major flood-prone areas such as Elliptical Road, Banawe Street, E. Rodriguez Avenue-Amoranto Street, and Commonwealth Avenue-Don Antonio Drive to temporarily hold stormwater and reduce road flooding. The city also completed sidewalk and bike lane rehabilitation along Elliptical Road to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
To strengthen transparency, the city government is preparing to launch QC Open Infra in 2026. The dashboard will allow residents to access project details, locations, progress updates, and geotagged photos integrated with the Geographic Information System. ‘This will provide clearer, more accessible and more accountable information to every QCitizen,’ he said. He added that the Engineering Department has also introduced an Asset Management Manual and is updating its Project Management Manual in preparation for upcoming procurement reforms.
