In 1941, a few days before the Japanese entered<br />

Manila, President Quezon declared Quezon City a part<br />

of Greater Manila. Quezon City remained as part of the<br />

Greater Manila until January 2, 1947, when its separate<br />

political existence was restored by Republic Act No. 45.<br />

The City of Greater Manila<br />

was created by President<br />

Quezon on January 1, 1942<br />

as an emergency measure.<br />
