Quezon (English spelling) Manuel Quezon

President of the Philippine Commonwealth. Born in Baler, Tayabas Province (now Quezon Province) on the island of Luzon. The Philippine Revolution broke out (1896) while he was a student at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. He joined the revolutionary army and fought in the war against the United States (1898). In 1905, during the American occupation, he was elected Governor of Tayabas Province and entered politics. In 1907, he was elected to the first Philippine Congress. He became a central figure in national politics thereafter. He served as a resident commissioner in Washington from 1909 to 1916, and succeeded in obtaining the Jones Act (Philippine Autonomy Act). Due to this reputation, he was elected the first President of the Senate in the bicameral Congress in 1916, literally becoming the leading figure in Philippine politics. Following the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act (Philippine Independence Act) in 1934, he was elected the first President of the Commonwealth in 1935. During the occupation of Japan, he established a government in exile in Washington and served as president until his death in a New York hospital.
