TBA Studios has announced that its historical biopic Quezon will premiere exclusively in Philippine theaters on October 15, 2025.
Quezon is the highly anticipated conclusion to the studio’s “Bayaniverse” trilogy, a cinematic series inspired by Philippine history. The trilogy began with 2015’s Heneral Luna, the country’s highest-grossing historical film, followed by 2018’s critically praised Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.

Filming wrapped on June 10, and the film is expected to chronicle Quezon’s life as the President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines.
