Quezon City is the most populous city in the Philippines, with 2,960,048 people counted in the 2020 census, and the largest city in Metro Manila by land area. A city that big does not have one zip code. It has 29 of them, from 1100 to 1128, and each one covers a different group of barangays and neighbourhoods.

That is why a parcel addressed only to Quezon City can still go wrong. This guide lists every Quezon City zip code from the PHLPost directory, grouped by area so you can find yours, and explains how to write the code on an LBC parcel and check it on the official finder.

What Is the Zip Code for Quezon City?

The main zip code for Quezon City is 1100. That is the code for the Quezon City Central Post Office and the Central area around it, including Piñahan and Project 6.

But 1100 is only the starting point. PHLPost gives Quezon City 29 codes in the range 1100 to 1128. The right code depends on the barangay or locality in the address. A letter to Teachers Village uses 1101, a parcel to Kamuning uses 1103, and a delivery to Batasan Hills uses 1126. Using 1100 for all of them will still reach Quezon City, but the mail has further to travel inside the city, and a wrong local code is one of the small mistakes that delay parcels.

Quezon City was founded on October 12, 1939, and named after Manuel L. Quezon, the second president of the Philippines. It served as the capital of the country from 1948 to 1976.

The Full List of Quezon City Zip Codes by Area

Every code in this table comes from the PHLPost Zip Code Locator directory, the official list published by the Philippine Postal Corporation at phlpost.gov.ph. The directory lists each locality with its code, and this table keeps those pairings exactly as PHLPost lists them. Two labels are spelled out in full here because the directory shortens them: the directory entry that reads "Project" under 1106 is Project 8, and the entry spelled "Bgaong Lipunan" under 1111 is Bagong Lipunan. Both were confirmed against a second copy of the same directory.

A few things in this table are worth noting. First, several codes cover more than one place, so the code alone does not name the barangay. Always write the barangay with the code. Second, some well known names share a code with their neighbours: Cubao shares 1109 with Project 4 and Socorro, and Diliman shares 1101 with Teachers Village and Sikatuna Village. Third, the far north of the city uses the highest numbers: Batasan Hills is 1126, Holy Spirit is 1127, and Culiat and Vasra are 1128.

How to Find the Code for Your Barangay

Start with the table above and match the barangay in your address. If you know the area but not the barangay name, these are the codes people search for most:

  • Diliman and the University of the Philippines campus: 1101.
  • Cubao and the Araneta Center: 1109.
  • Kamuning and the South Triangle area: 1103.
  • Fairview: 1118 for Fairview itself and Pasong Putik, 1121 for Fairview North, and 1122 for Fairview South.
  • Novaliches: 1121 for Novaliches Proper, 1123 for Damong Maliit, 1124 for Kaligayahan, 1125 for Nagkaisang Nayon, 1126 for Batasan Hills, 1127 for Holy Spirit, and 1128 for Culiat.
  • Loyola Heights and the Ateneo area: 1108, shared with Pansol.
  • Libis and Camp Aguinaldo: 1110, shared with Bagong Bayan and Ugong Norte.

If your barangay is not in the table, do not guess a code from the pattern. Look at a recent utility bill, government ID, or piece of mail that reached the address, because the code printed there is usually right. You can also check the official PHLPost Zip Code Locator at phlpost.gov.ph/zip-code-locator/ and search by locality name. If the finder does not show your barangay, ask at the nearest post office or ask the receiver to confirm the code they use. A code copied from a random list online is not a check.

How Philippine Zip Codes Work

A Philippine zip code has four digits, and PHLPost, the Philippine Postal Corporation, is the body that assigns them. The code is not required by law, but PHLPost strongly recommends using it, because it tells sorting offices which town or which part of a city a letter or parcel belongs to.

The first digit gives the broad area. Codes starting with 1 belong to Metro Manila, 2 and 3 to northern and central Luzon, 4 and 5 to southern Luzon and Bicol, 6 to the Visayas, and 7, 8 and 9 to Mindanao. That is why every Quezon City code starts with 1, and why Cebu City uses 6000 and Davao City uses 8000.

Inside Metro Manila, a code usually stands for a barangay or a small group of barangays, which is why one city can have dozens of codes. Outside Metro Manila, a code usually stands for a whole town or city, so most provincial places have just one.

PHLPost has said it plans a longer format in the future, a seven character alphanumeric ZIP Code PH that would carry the region, city and barangay in one code. The plan was announced by the Postmaster General in early 2024, but as of November 2026 the official locator still shows the four digit codes, and those are the codes to use on parcels today.

How to Write the Zip Code on an LBC Parcel

The zip code goes on the last line of the address, right before the city name. PHLPost gives this exact order in its own guide: find the zip code of the destination, then write it on the last line, before the name of the town or city. A Quezon City address for an LBC parcel looks like this:

Juan Dela Cruz
123 Mabini Street, Barangay Kamuning
Quezon City, Metro Manila 1103
Mobile 0917 123 4567

The names and numbers above are a sample only, to show the shape. Copy the shape, not the details. Write the barangay in full, because street names repeat across barangays, and write the code as four digits with no spaces or dashes.

Our guide to LBC address formatting tips walks through the full address piece by piece, including the landmark line that helps riders find inner streets. Our branch guide shows how to find the nearest LBC branch.

How to Check a Code on the PHLPost Zip Code Finder

The official check is the PHLPost Zip Code Locator at phlpost.gov.ph/zip-code-locator/. It is a searchable table with four columns: region, province, city or municipality, and zip code. Type the locality name in the search box and read the matching row.

One honest note about that tool. The table on the live site currently shows only a small part of the full directory when you browse it: for Metro Manila it lists Pandacan, 1011, and it does not show the Quezon City rows at all in its browsable list. The full directory behind it is the same one this guide is built from, and the codes in the table above were checked against that full directory. If the finder search does not return your barangay, do not take that as proof the code is wrong. Confirm it at a post office counter instead, and do not replace a directory code with a guess from another website.

Common Mistakes With Quezon City Zip Codes

The most common mistake is using 1100 for the whole city. It works as a rough address, but it is not the code for Diliman, Cubao, Fairview or Novaliches, and it can slow a delivery down while the parcel is sorted again inside the city.

The second mistake is trusting an old list. Lists copied from one site to another keep old errors alive. Two examples from this city: some lists add Commonwealth under 1121, but the PHLPost directory does not list Commonwealth as a locality, so this guide does not print it as a row. And some lists put Novaliches Proper under 1123, while the PHLPost directory puts it under 1121 and gives 1123 to Damong Maliit. When two lists disagree, the PHLPost directory wins.

The third mistake is mixing up Quezon City with Quezon Province. They are different places with different codes. Quezon City uses 1100 to 1128. Quezon Province, the province east of Laguna, uses the 4300 series, for example Lucena City 4301. Writing a Quezon Province code on a Quezon City parcel sends it toward the wrong province.

The fourth mistake is leaving the code off a form that asks for it. Online shops, banks and government forms often need the code to match the address, and a missing code can hold up an order or an application.

It is not required by law, but PHLPost strongly recommends it, and LBC sorts faster when the code is on the waybill. A missing or wrong code is a common reason a parcel takes an extra day.

A Quick Recap

Quezon City uses 29 zip codes, 1100 to 1128, and the right one is the code for your barangay, not the city as a whole. The main code is 1100 for the Central Post Office area. Diliman is 1101, Cubao is 1109, Fairview is 1118, and the Novaliches areas run from 1121 to 1128. Find your barangay in the table, write the four digit code on the last line of the address before the city name, and check it on the PHLPost finder or at the post office if anything looks off.
