The 3rd Philippine city granted the title of 'Royal' (after Manila and Cebu) by King Philip II and the Ecclesiastical seat of the Bishop of the entire Bicol region and almost half of Southern Luzon for three centuries centuries, Naga, or formerly known as the Royal City of Nueva Caceres (New Caceres), is the Queen City of Bicol. The title of 'Queen City' is used in the context of the historical significance of Naga in the Bicol region. For hundreds of years Naga has been the center of trade, education, religion, culture and healthcare in the region. This notion is further re-enforced since the Queen and Principal Patroness of Bicol, the miraculous image of Our Lady of Penafrancia, resides in Naga
