Manila was getting crowded<br />
and his military advisors<br />
(reportedly) told Quezon that<br />
Manila, being by the bay, was<br />
an easy target for<br />
bombardment by naval guns in<br />
case of attack.<br />
This made Quezon push<br />
forward the idea of a totally<br />
new <strong>city</strong> at least 15 kilometers<br />
away from Manila Bay (beyond<br />
the reach of naval guns).<br />
He contacted William E.<br />
Parsons, American architect<br />
and planner, who had been the<br />
consulting architect for the<br />
islands early in the American<br />
colonial period.
