Statues[edit]

Is it me or are these two statues in the same pose?

--Howard the Duck 06:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yes they are. most quezon statues are in that pose, it's from the famous photo by Vitus from the commonwealth inaugural. Gareon 16:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know about President Manuel L.Quezon attempting to accede to the British Commonwealth of Nations prior to the Japanese attacks of 1941?

Is it true that Manuel Quezon's father is Lucio Quezon? And that his middle name should have been "Urbina" from the father of Maria Dolores (Manuel's mother), Jose Urbina de Esparragosa? Information subject to further confirmation is that the "Molina" surname of Maria Dolores has been maintained instead of "Urbina."-R.Q.

What is the Knight of the Distinguished Order of Quezon? Can anyone make a Wikipedia article, which includes photos of its badges and medals, about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.97.236.134 (talk) 02:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is biased towards Spanish[edit]

Too much emphasis on the Spanish education system "he received most of his primary education from the public school established by the Spanish government in his village, as part of the establishment of the free public education system in the Philippines, as he himself testified during his speech delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States during the discussion of Jones Bill, in 1914" yet the part on the increase of literacy rate by leaps and bounds (straight from Quezon's mouth) under the U.S. regime is conveniently omitted. He made this speech to emphasize that even before the Americans came, the Filipinos had always had a significant literacy rate and yet the Americans were saying that illiteracy was as high as 85% on the year he made this speech, which would validate the American claim that we were not yet ready for independence .

On the illiteracy rate from 55.5% prior to the U.S. regime to the current 85% illiteracy as remarked on the floor by someone else. He contradicted that on Page 20 "Fortunately for you and for us Mr Chairman and for the common glory of both your teachers and our youth such is not the case for instead of going backward we have as everybody knows gone onward by leaps and bounds"

Why is a reference to the following missing?

THE FILIPINO PEOPLE ASK JUSTICE SPEECH OF HON. MANUEL L. QUEZON OF THE PHILIPPINES IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON FEB 1913 - missing a very important reference to this speech in the House of Representatives in Washington in 1913. Very important because he advocated for the inclusion of the intelligent law abiding men who would have constituted a majority of the voting population under an independent Philippine Government

Page 21 - Under the current(1913) electoral laws only 15% of the Filipinos were qualified to vote. This 15% comprised of:

-officeholder during the Spanish regime

-or who is able to speak or write English or Spanish

-or who possesses property to the value $250 gold in the Philippines

- or who pays taxes to the amount of $15 per annum

On Page 21 of this speech on ENGLISH OR SPANISH QUALIFICATION TO VOTE "I have asked the gentleman from Pennsylvania how many voters there would be in this country if the people of the United States were required to read and write German or any other foreign language. And I ask the same question again. Neither Spanish nor English are native languages in the Philippines"

Page 22 PROPERTY QUALIFICATION "How greatly would the number of voters in the United States be reduced if in order to vote they had to own $250 worth of property It must moreover be borne in mind that $250 of property in the Philippines is equivalent at least to $1,000 in the United States The gentleman from Pennsylvania seems to think that there are but few Filipinos of that class which constitute the backbone of every country -- farmers. He is very much mistaken"

Page 22 FIFTEEN DOLLARS REQUIREMENT "Fifteen dollars direct taxes per annum. That is certainly a large sum for the average citizen to pay in any country. I ask again how many people in the United States would be deprived of the right to vote if they had to pay annually $15 in direct taxes"

Cleanup needed.[edit]

Not only are sources all over the place i.e. randomly inserted in article after second term, no citations for Jewish Refugees, but also the grammar is awful in places and the article overall reads like a massive praise exercise for Quezon. There is no criticism of him for example the constitutional change to allow himself a second term is glossed over despite it being controversial. Finally the section of quotes down the bottom should be scrapped entirely and put into his wiki quotes page. Are there any other editors wiling to help me deal with this. Sorry to eb so negative but the page has a lot of great info, it just needs serious cleanup to be of wiki quality.Awnman (talk) 00:52, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

QUEZON WAS BORN IN CALAMBA CITY, LAGUNA?? CALAMBA CITY, LAGUNA LATER BECAME BALER?? This is so inaccurate and in fact rubbish. Get your facts right. Baler is in Aurora which was previously a part of Quezon and was previously Tayabas. El Prinsipe was part of Nueva Ecija and Baler used to be a town of Nueva Ecija.01:01, 5 August 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.191.138.249 (talk)

You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-08-19.

Manuel L. Quezon
Manuel L. Quezon (1878–1944) was a Filipino statesman, soldier, and politician who served as president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. He is considered to have been the second president of the Philippines, after Emilio Aguinaldo (1897–1901). During his presidency, Quezon tackled the problem of landless peasants in the countryside, reorganized the islands' military defense, promoted settlement and development in Mindanao, and opposed graft and corruption within the government. He established an exiled government in the U.S. with the outbreak of the war and the threat of Japanese invasion.Photograph: United States Office of War Information; restoration: Chris Woodrich

Accents in Quezon's name[edit]

I've removed the accents from Quezon. There is no accent in this name. As proof, you can see in his signature that there is no accent. Also, he and other members of the Quezon family pronounced Quezon on the first syllable (as you can verify in this video), so no accent is necessary. Please revert all instances of edits in which the accent is restored. Thanks. --Chris S. (talk) 04:11, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Start of Senate presidency[edit]

This article and others in Wikipedia say that Quezon's Senate presidency started on August 29, 1916. There's one issue to that. The 4th Philippine Legislature first convened on October 16, 1919, and Quezon's US Congress profile has him as resident commissioner up until October 15, 1916, and narrates that he became Senate president after that.
