Quezon poster

A historical drama focusing on Manuel L. Quezon years after the Philippine Revolution during the American occupation.

In Quezon’s relentless quest for power, he ultimately faces off with Emilio Aguinaldo in the 1935 presidential elections, using charm and favoritism as both weapons and currency, in a campaign that ultimately changes the face of Philippine politics and history.
