A number of factors underpinned the successful COVID-19 response of the Philippines' most economically important city—pre-existing public–private sector relationships, strong female leadership in the city’s most senior positions, the expectation that Quezon City would take a “first-mover” position on vexing COVID-19 challenges, and the assumption that it would develop innovative initiatives for other cities across the nation to replicate. Many of these innovations involved human and capital investments that will enable the city to “future-proof” itself against the next epidemic.
