QC Stories: The City We Call Home was launched by the Quezon City government under Mayor Joy Belmonte and published by Do Good Studio. The coffee-table book is presented as both a tourism guide and a cultural record of the city. The volume, spanning 48 stories, brings together essays, photographs, commissioned artworks and curated guides.

One section, “How to Enjoy Cinema in a Film Capital,” discusses Quezon City’s film history and its designation by UNESCO as a Creative City of Film.

The book features National Artist Ricky Lee and his long-running writing workshop, the tailoring community in Kamuning and Chef Miggy Moreno’s Palm Grill. It also covers Margarita Forés’ early work at Bahay na Puti in Cubao and includes curated playlists by editor Erwin Romulo and designer Gabbie Sarenas that reflect different parts of the city.

In addition, it references food establishments such as Max’s and Estrel’s and presents artworks by Mark Salvatus, while profiling actors Joel Torre and Maricel Soriano in relation to their careers in Quezon City’s film and television industry.

The book also includes an essay by psychologist Carl Lorenz Cervantes, known as Sikodiwa, who discusses the concept of kapwa in the context of community life in the city. In another section, artist Cian Dayrit collaborates with Anakpawis and Kadamay to examine social and economic conditions in Quezon City, while the publication revisits the historical figure of Tandang Sora through contemporary perspectives, linking the city’s past to present-day realities.
