Most known in history as the first President of the Commonwealth M of the Philippines who championed Filipinos independence from the Americans, Manuel L. Quezon is a far more nuanced figure with many layers. This complexity is vividly portrayed in Quezon, the last installment of TBA Studios' Bayaniverse trilogy directed by Jerrold Tarog.

As a companion to the film, this book tells the story of how Quezon was made, drawing on personal accounts from the director, producers, and screenwriter, along with a historian's perspective. An in depth interview with the director also reveals the meticulous research process and creative decisions that shaped the movie's narrative. The writings here are also an invitation to look closely at the parallels between our country's history and current events, and reflect on where we are now as a nation.
Quezon was a chameleon. Although he championed a lot of progressive causes, those were also tied to constant self-serving power struggles. So it's important to remind people: this is Quezon-not to shame him, but to make us aware of where we come from."-Jerrold Tarog, Director of Quezon

FAQs

Where do you ship from?

We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?

One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.

If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
