Narratives of the City Beautiful in the Philippines have a tendency to adhere to a particular historiographical form: they commence with the early years of American colonial rule and Daniel Burnham’s grand schemes of 1905 for Manila and Baguio, then they provide reference to William E. Parsons’ city plans for Cebu and Zamboanga before fleetingly noting Juan Arellano’s Capitol complexes or his 1930 Iloilo Plan. To bring such historical accounts to a conclusion characteristically discussion of the Commonwealth Era (1935–1942, 1945–1946), and the development of Quezon City, are presented. Yet these histories of city planning in the Philippines during the American colonial period (1898–1946) essentially offer no detailed insight into the projects composed by Filipinos. Questions that include ‘How many plans did Filipinos compose?’, ‘Who designed them?’, and ‘What was their form?’ are consequently left unanswered.
