    Ama ng wikang Pilipino

    Independence Advocate:

    The National Defense Act of 1935 (Commonwealth Act No. 1)

    In his second term, Quezon campaigned vigorously for the independence of the Philippines. He
    cooperated with the United States while pushing for self-governance. However, his second term was not
    easy due to the outbreak of WW2

    Quezon was reelected president in 1941. After Japan invaded and occupied the Philippines in 1942, he
    went to the United States, where he formed a government in exile, served as a member of the Pacific
    War Council, signed the declaration of the United Nations against the fascist nations, and wrote his
    autobiography, The Good Fight (1946).

    However, Quezon died of tuberculosis before full Philippine independence was established.

    Legacy: His legacy includes the establishment of Quezon City, which is named in his honor. Additionally,
    the Quezon Bridge in Manila, the Manuel L. Quezon University, and other institutions commemorate his
    contributions to the nation.
