Quezon (2025)

Quezon is a compelling historical drama that examines the rise of President Manuel Quezon and his complex pursuit of power during the fight for Philippine independence. Determined to shape the future of his nation, Quezon navigates a ruthless political landscape through charisma, strategic alliances, and calculated favoritism. As he outmaneuvers rivals and strengthens his influence, the film explores the personal and political costs of ambition.
