TBA Studios has just released the full trailer for the historical biopic “Quezon” ahead of the film theatrical release in the Philippines on October 15. Starring Jericho Rosales as Manuel L. Quezon, the film is the much-awaited conclusion to TBA Studios’ cinematic “Bayaniverse” trilogy, a series of films based on Philippine history. The “Bayaniverse” includes 2015’s “Heneral Luna,” the Philippines’ highest grossing historical movie of all time; and 2018’s critically acclaimed “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.” The trailer features key scenes and highlights from the film. Directed by Jerrold Tarog, “Quezon” is a historical drama that focuses on Manuel L. Quezon years after the Philippine Revolution during the American occupation. Catch the trailer below:

When his fight for Philippine independence from the United States is put to the test, Manuel L. Quezon finds himself playing the brutal game of politics to outmaneuver his rivals Leonard Wood, Sergio Osmeña, and Joven Hernando. In his relentless quest for power, he eventually faces off with Emilio Aguinaldo in the 1935 Philippine presidential elections, using charm and favoritism as both weapons and currency, in a campaign that ultimately changes the face of Philippine politics and history.

Joining Rosales in the film are Benjamin Alves as Young Manuel L. Quezon and Mon Confiado as Emilio Aguinaldo, Iain Glen of the hit fantasy television series “Game of Thrones” joins as Leonard Wood. Arron Villaflor also returns to the “Bayaniverse” as Joven Hernando, with Cris Villanueva playing the role of the older Joven Hernando.

The ensemble cast also includes Romnick Sarmenta as Sergio Osmeña, Karylle as Aurora Quezon, JC Santos as Manuel Roxas, and Jake Macapagal as Manuel Nieto. Completing the cast are Bodjie Pascua, Angeli Bayani, Jojit Lorenzo, Joross Gamboa, Therese Malvar, Ana Abad Santos, Ketchup Eusebio, and Nico Locco.

“Quezon” is produced by TBA Studios with the support of the Film Development Council of the Philippines and CreatePHFilms.

Following its October 15 premiere in Philippine theaters, "Quezon" will be released internationally at a later date.
