    BIOGRAPHY OF PRESIDENT

    Manuel Luis Quezon

    Manuel Luis Quezon was born on August 19, 1878 in Baler, Tayabas (now
    Quezon), to Lucio Quezon, a native of Paco, Manila and Maria Dolores Molina.He
    studied law at the University of Sto. Tomas and passed the bar examinations in
    1903. He became the fiscal of his home province and was soon elected governor.In
    the 1907 election, he ran for the Philippine Assembly under the Nacionalista Party,
    won by a large majority, and became the majority floor leader.
    In 1909, he was elected Resident Commissioner to Washington, D.C., a post he
    held until 1916. His most significant achievement was the passage of the Jones Act
    that provided for the grant of Philippine independence.He was elected senator in
    1916 and eventually became Senate President. He headed the first Independence
    Mission to the U.S. Congress, and brought home the Tydings-McDuffie Independence
    Law in 1934.
    The Star of Baler shone as the First President of the Commonwealth after his
    brilliant performance as the First Senate President. He was steadfast in his vision to
    deliver the masses from the shackles of colonialism which intensified his efforts to
    secure independence for his country. Such vision culminated in the establishment
    of political stability within the framework of the 1935 Constitution, the formulation
    of policies to ensure the social well-being of the people, and the adjustment of the
    national economy to the challenges of independent nationhood. He was a dynamic
    Filipino leader and a true friend of the poor and the oppressed whom he loved and
    cared so well. Quezon is one of the most illustrious sons our country has ever
    produced.
    Quezon was married to Aurora Aragon and had four children. He died on August
    1, 1944 in Saranac Lake, New York.
