ISO and GRC certification in Quezon City at a glance
Quezon City is where Metro Manila's IT parks cluster. Presidential proclamations designate Eastwood City CyberPark, the Araneta IT park, Eton Centris in the Diliman district, NUVO City in Bagumbayan and a park in Barangay U.P. Campus, so outsourcing, software and shared-services operators work inside PEZA-registered space. Beside them sit the University of the Philippines Diliman, whose website lists a Quality Assurance Office and a Data Privacy Portal, the Philippine Children's Medical Center, and mixed-use estates such as Vertis North, UP Town Center and Trinoma. The city has no port, so goods reach it through Manila's terminals. Law, regulators and accreditation are set out on the Philippines page. Sterling serves Quezon City from Sterling's Manila office, with 20+ years of experience, 8,100+ client engagements in 60+ countries, and Effivity and Sterling Academy included with the engagement. Accredited certification bodies issue the certificates.
Quezon City is Metro Manila's largest city and a northern counterpart to the Makati business district. Its economy is built on a string of PEZA-designated IT parks and IT centres, the University of the Philippines Diliman, large public hospitals such as the Philippine Children's Medical Center, and mixed-use estates around Vertis North, Eastwood and Araneta.

Questions Quezon City clients ask
How are Quezon City clients supported?
Quezon City organisations are served from Sterling's Manila office, with visits to the client's own campus or building when the work calls for them and remote working between visits. Effivity and Sterling Academy are included with the engagement. The certificate or report itself comes from the accredited certification body or attestation firm you appoint.
Which IT parks in Quezon City were created by proclamation?
Proclamations on the Lawphil site designate Eastwood City CyberPark (No. 191), the Araneta IT park (No. 1494), Eton Centris (No. 1602), NUVO City (No. 1751) and a park in Barangay U.P. Campus (No. 1132). These sit under the Special Economic Zone Act and are administered through PEZA, which sets locator terms.
Why is Quezon City a draw for outsourcing and shared-services firms?
Several IT parks and PEZA-designated IT centres sit inside the city, alongside Vertis North, UP Town Center and Trinoma, so operators can take space in registered buildings close to talent and transport. Their overseas clients tend to send security questionnaires, which is where ISO and attestation work begins.
Do the universities and hospitals in Quezon City pursue certification?
Some do. UP Diliman's site lists a Quality Assurance Office and a Data Privacy Portal, and the Philippine Children's Medical Center runs research and training programmes, so management systems for quality and personal data are live topics. Whether a given institution seeks certification is its own decision or follows a funder or tender requirement.
