Editing Quezon Hall (section)

== History ==

After the transfer of University of the Philippines from Padre Faura, Manila to Diliman, Quezon City, four buildings were initially built: Palma Hall, Melchor Hall, Gonzalez Hall and Quezon Hall, which was formerly called as the Administration Hall, built in 1950.

For 5 years, the Palma Hall was the seat of the administration. The central administration was then transferred to the Administration Hall. During the term of President Carlos P. Garcia, the hall was refurbished and a flagpole was installed on it. It was on August 3, 1962 when a Philippine flag was first flown. After a year, it was renamed to Quezon Hall in honor of President Manuel L. Quezon.

On September 26, 1984, the North wing of the Hall where the office of the UP President was located was razed by fire. Because of that, Executive House was established to serve as residence for the UP Presidents.

Since January 1986, the hall became the seat of twin fulcrums of power: Central Administration on the North wing and UP Diliman Administration on the South wing. Because of that, it became a rally ground for students who demanded for greater subsidy and other concerns, and even workers who demanded for salary increase.
