01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Quezon City—3,084,270, Asia/Manila, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.

02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Quezon City is GeoNames ID 1692192. Its recorded administrative path is Eastern Manila District → National Capital Region → Philippines, and GeoNames classifies the place as a second-order administrative seat. Quezon City occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2025-09-24; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.
Within the fixed 1,206-record atlas, Quezon City ranks 113 by recorded population. Inside the 22 selected Philippines entries it ranks 1; inside the 632 entries in its broad region it ranks 74. Its 3,084,270 population value is 3.87 times the 797,334 median for the country cohort and 3.06 times the 1,008,426 regional median. Quezon City falls inside the leading tenth of this atlas's Philippines population cohort. Quezon City's recorded value reaches at least twice the country-cohort median in this snapshot. These comparisons describe this selected dataset only; they are not current census rankings or official urban-area boundaries.

Quezon City's nearest-coordinate gap belongs to the tightest tenth of the atlas. This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 1692192, the coordinate pair 14.6488 / 121.0509, country rank 1 of 22, and neighbor GeoNames 7290466 at 6.974 km bind Quezon City to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Quezon City's reference point is 14.6488° north and 121.0509° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Manila is shared by 22 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPLA2 is shared by 341 rows. Quezon City's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Quezon City's point falls in the near-equatorial coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Quezon City's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Quezon City, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
