District: 4th
City: Quezon

Barangay Roxas as popularly known today used to be known as People's Homesite or Project 1. This area is the first project undertaken by then PHHC in compliance with an Executive order of the President.

This district came into being in 1949 and was named after President Manuel Roxas, First President of the Republic after the Philippine Commonwealth. This Homesite was created for the first batch of government employees from different government offices. The original number of government employees that moved into this homesite numbered about less than 1000.

The streets of this district were named after national flowers to be distinct from other projects that were created during the later years.
