Quezon City was envisioned as a new capital, which was why so many government offices were built in the area, around what is the Quezon Memorial Circle (or Elliptical Road) today.

That means keeping the trees, especially in the Balara watershed area and the areas around the University of the Philippines campus, the Quezon Memorial Circle and the Ninoy Aquino Wildlife Park.
