Manuel Quezon

Biography

Manuel Luis Quezon y Molina was born on August 19, 1878, in Baler, now in Aurora Province. (The province is actually
named after Quezon's wife.) His parents were Spanish colonial army officer Lucio Quezon and primary school teacher
Maria Dolores Molina. Of mixed Filipino and Spanish ancestry, in the racially segregated Spanish Philippines, the Quezon
family were considered blancos or "whites," which afforded them more freedom and higher social status than purely
Filipino or Chinese people enjoyed.

When Manuel was nine years old, his parents sent him to school in Manila, about 240 kilometers (150 miles) away from
Baler. He would remain there through university; he studied law at the University of Santo Tomas but did not graduate.
In 1898, when Manuel was 20, his father and brother were accosted and murdered along the road from Nueva Ecija to
Baler. The motive may have been simply robbery, but it is likely that they were targeted for their support of the colonial
Spanish government against the Filipino nationalists in the independence struggle.

Accomplishments

 Quezon played a major role in obtaining Congress’ passage in 1916 of the Jones Act, which pledged independence
for the Philippines without giving a specific date when it would take effect. the act gave the Philippines
greater autonomy and provided for the creation of a bicameral national legislature modeled after the U.S.
Congress.
 Quezon fought for passage of the Tydings–McDuffie Act (1934), which provided for full independence for the
Philippines 10 years after the creation of a constitution and the establishment of a Commonwealth government
that would be the forerunner of an independent republic.
 As president he reorganized the islands’ military defense (aided by Gen. Douglas MacArthur as his special
adviser), tackled the huge problem of landless peasants in the countryside who still worked as tenants on large
estates, promoted the settlement and development of the large southern island of Mindanao
 He was very concerned with social justice, instituting a minimum wage, an eight-hour workday, the provision of
public defenders for indigent defendants in court, and the redistribution of agricultural land to tenant farmers. He
sponsored the building of new schools across the country, and promoted women's suffrage; as a result, women
got the vote in 1937. President Quezon also established Tagalog as the national language of the Philippines,
alongside English.
 He also opened the Philippines to Jewish refugees from Europe, who were fleeing increasing Nazi oppression in
the period between 1937 and 1941. This saved about 2,500 people from the Holocaust.
