Manuel L. Quezon

<h2 id="early-life-and-education">Early life and education</h2>

Quezon was born on 19 August 1878 in <a href="/facts/Baler,_Aurora/zqxXNyzL">Baler</a> in the district of El Príncipe,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a> then the capital of <a href="/facts/Nueva_Ecija/3wmR2sDR">Nueva Ecija</a> (now Baler, <a href="/facts/Aurora_(province)/U2xseaKr">Aurora</a>). His parents were Lucio Quezon y Vélez (1850–1898) and María Dolores Molina (1840–1893).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> Both were primary-school teachers, although his father was a retired sargento de Guardia Civil (sergeant of the <a href="/facts/Civil_Guard_(Philippines)/YEGwjTWE">Civil Guard</a>).
According to historian Augusto de Viana in his timeline of Baler, Quezon's father was a <a href="/facts/Chinese_Filipino/UtKz5oo5">Chinese</a> <a href="/facts/Filipino_mestizo/yFB1phly">mestizo</a> who came from the <a href="/facts/Pari%C3%A1n_(Manila)/tbGXQgkv">Parián</a> (a <a href="/facts/Chinatown/53t2TXqe">Chinatown</a> outside <a href="/facts/Intramuros/HzuMhIlH">Intramuros</a>) in <a href="/facts/Paco,_Manila/cQ0jQseI">Paco, Manila</a>. He spoke Spanish in the Civil Guard and married María, who was a <a href="/facts/Spanish_Filipino/x0Rbut0m">Spanish</a> <a href="/facts/Filipino_mestizos/yFB1phly">mestiza</a> born of Spanish priest Jose Urbina de Esparragosa; Urbina arrived in Baler from <a href="/facts/Esparragosa_de_la_Serena/Q65VFwhL">Esparragosa de la Serena</a>, <a href="/facts/Province_of_C%C3%A1ceres/EmbWC00u">Cáceres Province</a>, Spain in 1847 as the parish priest.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> Quezon is <a href="/facts/Sangley/bh34qgnd"> Chinese mestizo</a> surname originally from a Spanish <a href="/facts/Romanization/a4fl8fee">romanization</a> of <a href="/facts/Hokkien_in_the_Philippines/3Jo5RrcB">Hokkien Chinese</a>, possibly from the Hokkien word, <a href="/facts/Chinese_language/771ruUY1">Chinese</a>: 雞孫; <a href="/facts/Pe%CC%8Dh-%C5%8De-j%C4%AB/D9XlKhn6">Pe̍h-ōe-jī</a>: ke-sun / koe-sun, with <a href="/facts/Chinese_language/771ruUY1">Chinese</a>: 雞; <a href="/facts/Pe%CC%8Dh-%C5%8De-j%C4%AB/D9XlKhn6">Pe̍h-ōe-jī</a>: ke meaning "outer city" or "strongest" and <a href="/facts/Chinese_language/771ruUY1">Chinese</a>: 孫; <a href="/facts/Pe%CC%8Dh-%C5%8De-j%C4%AB/D9XlKhn6">Pe̍h-ōe-jī</a>: sun meaning "grandson";<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a> many Filipino surnames that end with “on”, “son”, and “zon” are of Chinese origin, Hispanized version of 孫 (sun).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> 
He later boarded at the <a href="/facts/Colegio_de_San_Juan_de_Letran/b737L0me">Colegio de San Juan de Letran</a>, where he graduated from secondary school in 1894.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>

In 1899, Quezon left his law studies at the <a href="/facts/University_of_Santo_Tomas/IlMPr3Az">University of Santo Tomas</a> to join the Filipino war effort, and joined the Republican army during the <a href="/facts/Philippine%E2%80%93American_War/TPquEUzc">Philippine–American War</a>. He was an <a href="/facts/Aide-de-camp/aUbn80hG">aide-de-camp</a> to <a href="/facts/Emilio_Aguinaldo/cAKuJ9IY">Emilio Aguinaldo</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> Quezon became a major, and fought in the <a href="/facts/Bataan/4qGMPH3L">Bataan</a> sector. After surrendering in 1900,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> he returned to university and passed the bar examination in 1903.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a>
Quezon worked for a time as a clerk and surveyor, entering government service as treasurer for <a href="/facts/Mindoro_(province)/j7QtrTsX">Mindoro</a> and (later) Tayabas. He became a municipal councilor of <a href="/facts/Lucena/yKg1AE2I">Lucena</a>, and was elected governor of Tayabas in 1906.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>

<h2 id="congressional-career">Congressional career</h2>
<h3>House of Representatives (1907–1916)</h3>

Quezon was elected in 1907 to represent <a href="/facts/Quezon/gL721kxT">Tayabas</a>'s <a href="/facts/Quezon%27s_1st_congressional_district/Qp8UcTXl">1st district</a> in the first <a href="/facts/Philippine_Assembly/wbXe4cjA">Philippine Assembly</a> (which later became the House of Representatives) during the <a href="/facts/1st_Philippine_Legislature/gdx6U6lo">1st Philippine Legislature</a>, where he was <a href="/facts/Majority_Floor_Leader_of_the_House_of_Representatives_of_the_Philippines/6mKtEfnI">majority floor leader</a> and chairman of the committees on rules and appropriations. Quezon told the <a href="/facts/House_of_Representatives_of_the_United_States/cdBPb9pY">U.S. House of Representatives</a> during a 1914 discussion of the <a href="/facts/Jones_Law_(Philippines)/vgAMMPcJ">Jones Bill</a> that he received most of his primary education at the village school established by the Spanish government as part of the Philippines' free public-education system.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> Months before his term ended, he gave up his seat at the Philippine Assembly upon being appointed as one of the Philippines' two <a href="/facts/Resident_Commissioner_of_the_Philippines/ssdqTAW9">resident commissioners</a>. Serving two terms from 1909 to 1916, he lobbied for the passage of the Philippine Autonomy Act (the <a href="/facts/Jones_Law_(Philippines)/vgAMMPcJ">Jones Law</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a>

<h3>Senate (1916–1935)</h3>

Quezon returned to Manila in 1916, and was elected senator from the <a href="/facts/Philippines%27s_5th_senatorial_district/VBdXuT44">Fifth Senatorial District</a>. He was later elected <a href="/facts/President_of_the_Senate_of_the_Philippines/JUTR9ddE">Senate President</a> and served continuously until 1935 (19 years), the longest tenure in history until Senator <a href="/facts/Lorenzo_Ta%C3%B1ada/VtShVuwR">Lorenzo Tañada</a>'s four consecutive terms (24 years, from 1947 to 1972). Quezon headed the first independent mission to the U.S. Congress in 1919, and secured passage of the <a href="/facts/Tydings%E2%80%93McDuffie_Act/GYdwwnfY">Tydings–McDuffie Act</a> in 1934.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a>

In 1921, Quezon made a public campaign against House Speaker <a href="/facts/Sergio_Osme%C3%B1a/DqXYEWTq">Sergio Osmeña</a> accusing him of being an autocratic leader and blamed him for the <a href="/facts/Philippine_National_Bank/smxxmPon">Philippine National Bank</a>'s financial mess. Both Osmeña and Quezon debated on this until 1922. As a result, the Nationalista Party was split into two. Quezon also resigned as Senate President that same year in January.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a>
In 1922, he became leader of the <a href="/facts/Nacionalista_Party/nnx6aSBl">Nacionalista Party</a> alliance Partido Nacionalista-Colectivista.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a>
In 1933, both Quezon and Osmeña clashed regarding the ratification of the <a href="/facts/Hare%E2%80%93Hawes%E2%80%93Cutting_Act/I5c5YsVs">Hare–Hawes–Cutting bill</a> in the Philippine Legislature.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a>

<h3>Administration and cabinet</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/List_of_cabinets_of_the_Philippines/myWPGVBn">List of cabinets of the Philippines § Manuel L. Quezon (1935–1944)</a>
<h3>First term (1935–1941)</h3>
In 1935, Quezon won the Philippines' <a href="/facts/1935_Philippine_general_election/TXzkm7kh">first national presidential election</a> under the <a href="/facts/Nacionalista_Party/nnx6aSBl">Nacionalista Party</a>. He received nearly 68 percent of the vote against his two main rivals, <a href="/facts/Emilio_Aguinaldo/cAKuJ9IY">Emilio Aguinaldo</a> and <a href="/facts/Gregorio_Aglipay/3QvmN70w">Gregorio Aglipay</a>. Quezon, inaugurated on November 15, 1935,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a> is recognized as the second <a href="/facts/President_of_the_Philippines/RWoHauBW">President of the Philippines</a>. In January 2008, however, House Representative Rodolfo Valencia (<a href="/facts/Oriental_Mindoro/IXH6wctC">Oriental Mindoro</a>–<a href="/facts/Oriental_Mindoro%27s_1st_congressional_district/DfN8K7oE">1st</a>) filed a bill seeking to declare General <a href="/facts/Miguel_Malvar/AWl3S2aX">Miguel Malvar</a> the second Philippine President; Malvar succeeded Aguinaldo in 1901.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a>
<h4>Supreme Court appointments</h4>
Under the Reorganization Act, Quezon was given the power to appoint the first all-Filipino cabinet in 1935. From 1901 to 1935, a Filipino was chief justice but most Supreme Court justices were Americans. Complete Filipinization was achieved with the establishment of the Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1935. Claro M. Recto and José P. Laurel were among Quezon's first appointees to replace the American justices. Membership in the Supreme Court increased to 11: a chief justice and ten associate justices, who sat en banc or in two divisions of five members each.

<h4>Government reorganization</h4>
To meet the demands of the newly-established government and comply with the <a href="/facts/Tydings-McDuffie_Act/GYdwwnfY">Tydings-McDuffie Act</a> and the <a href="/facts/Constitution_of_the_Philippines/h2q9a13t">Constitution</a>, Quezon, – true to his pledge of "more government and less politics," – initiated a reorganization of the <a href="/facts/Government_of_the_Philippines/puISq0Uj">government</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a> He established a Government Survey Board to study existing institutions and, in light of changed circumstances, make necessary recommendations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a>
Early results were seen with the revamping of the executive department; offices and bureaus were merged or abolished, and others were created.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a> Quezon ordered the transfer of the <a href="/facts/Philippine_National_Police/qG4JP3bm">Philippine Constabulary</a> from the <a href="/facts/Department_of_the_Interior_and_Local_Government/SfsnsXVy">Department of the Interior</a> to the <a href="/facts/Department_of_Finance_(Philippines)/hpPNHN7R">Department of Finance</a>. Other changes were made to the <a href="/facts/Department_of_National_Defense_(Philippines)/VbuGzqtF">National Defense</a>, <a href="/facts/Department_of_Agriculture_(Philippines)/doxpgxgv">Agriculture</a> and <a href="/facts/Department_of_Trade_and_Industry_(Philippines)/uspXbEW2">Commerce</a>, <a href="/facts/Department_of_Public_Works_and_Highways/JJXpk66N">Public Works</a> and <a href="/facts/Department_of_Transportation_(Philippines)/wo5PdD34">Communications</a>, and <a href="/facts/Department_of_Health_(Philippines)/PLqAR8xc">Health</a> and <a href="/facts/Department_of_Social_Welfare_and_Development/LvsJLJj3">Public Welfare</a> departments.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a>
New offices and boards were created by executive order or legislation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a> Among these were the <a href="/facts/National_Security_Council_(Philippines)/5fdW7RgT">Council of National Defense</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> the <a href="/facts/National_Disaster_Risk_Reduction_and_Management_Council/6xtz5HdC">Board of National Relief</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a> the <a href="/facts/Department_of_Mindanao_and_Sulu/oQlFWIEq">Mindanao and Sulu</a> Commission, and the <a href="/facts/Civil_Service_Commission_(Philippines)/BbeUESgJ">Civil Service</a> Board of Appeals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a>

<h4>Social-justice program</h4>
Pledging to improve the conditions of the Philippine working class and inspired by the social doctrines of <a href="/facts/Pope_Leo_XIII/bdovwR3o">Pope Leo XIII</a> and <a href="/facts/Pope_Pius_XI/qQmoRXh1">Pope Pius XI</a> and treatises by the world's leading sociologists, Quezon began a program of <a href="/facts/Social_justice/yPVcRR0w">social justice</a> introduced with executive measures and legislation by the <a href="/facts/National_Assembly_of_the_Philippines/tgB1dIpG">National Assembly</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> A court for industrial relations was established to mediate disputes, minimizing the impact of strikes and lockouts. A minimum-wage law was enacted, as well as a law providing an eight-hour workday and a tenancy law for Filipino farmers. The position of public defender was created to assist the poor.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a>
Commonwealth Act No. 20 enabled Quezon to acquire large, occupied estates to re-appropriate their lots and homes at a nominal cost and under terms affordable by their residents; one example was the Buenavista estate. He also began a cooperative system of agriculture among owners of the subdivided estates to increase their income.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> Quezon desired to follow the constitutional mandate on the promotion of social justice.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a>

<h4>Economy</h4>
When the Commonwealth was created, its economy was stable and promising.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a> With foreign trade peaking at <a href="/facts/Philippine_peso/02Lfe6RM">₱</a>400 million, the upward trend in business resembled a boom. Export crops were generally good and, except for tobacco, were in high demand. The value of Philippine exports reached ₱320,896,000, the highest since 1929.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a>

Government revenue in 1936 was ₱76,675,000 (equivalent to ₱34,858,669,716 in 2021), compared to the 1935 revenue of ₱65,000,000 (equivalent to ₱28,793,209,590 in 2021). Government companies, except for the <a href="/facts/Manila_Railroad_Company/ICaDvhj0">Manila Railroad Company</a>, earned profits. Gold production increased about 37 percent, iron nearly doubled, and cement production increased by about 14 percent.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a>
The government had to address some economic problems, however,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> and the National Economic Council was created. It advised the government about economic and financial questions, including the promotion of industries, diversification of crops and enterprises, <a href="/facts/Tariffs/NCluKCm2">tariffs</a>, taxation, and formulating an economic program in preparation for eventual independence.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> The National Development Company was reorganized by law, and the National Rice and Corn Company (NARIC) was created with a ₱4 million budget.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a>
Upon the recommendation of the National Economic Council, agricultural colonies were established in <a href="/facts/Koronadal/Xnp23VSj">Koronadal</a>, Malig, and other locations in <a href="/facts/Mindanao/szgkAsAV">Mindanao</a>. The government encouraged migration and settlement in the colonies.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a> The Agricultural and Industrial Bank was established to aid small farmers with convenient loans and affordable terms.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> Attention was paid to soil surveying and the disposition of public land.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a>

<h4>Land reform</h4>
See also: <a href="/facts/Land_reform_in_the_Philippines/WFxYCeQ2">Land reform in the Philippines</a>
When the commonwealth government was established, Quezon implemented the Rice Share Tenancy Act of 1933 to regulate share-tenancy contracts by establishing minimum standards.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> The act provided a better tenant-landlord relationship, a 50–50 sharing of the crop, regulation of interest at 10 percent per agricultural year, and protected against arbitrary dismissal by the landlord.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> Because of a major flaw in the act, however, no petition to apply it was ever presented.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>
The flaw was that it could be used only when the majority of <a href="/facts/Sangguniang_Bayan/6D2UsdNU">municipal councils</a> in a province petitioned for it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> Since landowners usually controlled such councils, no province ever asked that the law be applied. Quezon ordered that the act be mandatory in all <a href="/facts/Central_Luzon/JYSdJYf9">Central Luzon</a> provinces.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a> However, contracts were good for only one year; by refusing to renew their contract, landlords could eject tenants. Peasant organizations clamored in vain for a law which would make a contract automatically renewable as long as tenants fulfilled their obligations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> The act was amended to eliminate this loophole in 1936, but it was never carried out; by 1939, thousands of peasants in Central Luzon were threatened with eviction.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a> Quezon's desire to placate both landlords and tenants pleased neither. Thousands of tenants in Central Luzon were evicted from their farmlands by the early 1940s, and the rural conflict was more acute than ever.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a>
During the Commonwealth period, agrarian problems persisted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a> This motivated the government to incorporate a social-justice principle into the <a href="/facts/Constitution_of_the_Philippines/h2q9a13t">1935 Constitution</a>. Dictated by the government's social-justice program, expropriation of estates and other landholdings began. The National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) began an orderly settlement of public agricultural lands. At the outbreak of the Second World War, settlement areas covering over 65,000 hectares (250 sq mi) had been established.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a>

<h4>Educational reforms</h4>
With his Executive Order No. 19, dated 19 February 1936, Quezon created the National Council of Education. <a href="/facts/Rafael_Palma/me1LBXj6">Rafael Palma</a>, former president of the <a href="/facts/University_of_the_Philippines/5t2e61hs">University of the Philippines</a>, was its first chairman.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a> Funds from the early Residence Certificate Law were devoted to maintaining public schools throughout the country and opening many more. There were 6,511 primary schools, 1,039 intermediate schools, 133 secondary and special schools, and five junior colleges by this time. Total enrollment was 1,262,353, with 28,485 teachers. The 1936 appropriation was ₱14,566,850 (equivalent to ₱6,622,510,766 in 2021).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> Private schools taught over 97,000 students, and the Office of Adult Education was created.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a>

<h4>Women's suffrage</h4>

Quezon initiated <a href="/facts/Women%27s_suffrage/4sRR3ad7">women's suffrage</a> during the <a href="/facts/Commonwealth_of_the_Philippines/PGJepz80">Commonwealth era</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a> As a result of prolonged debate between proponents and opponents of women's suffrage, the constitution provided that the issue be resolved by women in a <a href="/facts/1937_Philippine_women%27s_suffrage_plebiscite/AdWfIDMs">plebiscite</a>. If at least 300,000 women voted for the right to vote, it would be granted. The plebiscite was held on 30 April 1937; there were 447,725 affirmative votes, and 44,307 opposition votes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a>

<h4>National language</h4>
The Philippines' national language was another constitutional question. After a one-year study, the <a href="/facts/Commission_on_the_Filipino_Language/P1Q8Dajf">Institute of National Language</a> recommended that <a href="/facts/Tagalog_language/G8UARRIl">Tagalog</a> be the basis for a national language. The proposal was well-received, despite the fact that director <a href="/facts/Jaime_C._de_Veyra/sjyDaJ3k">Jaime C. de Veyra</a> was <a href="/facts/Waray_people/maFtEgX9">Waray</a>, this is because Baler, Quezon's birthplace, is a native Tagalog-speaking area.
In December 1937, Quezon issued a proclamation approving the institute's recommendation and declaring that the national language would become effective in two years. With presidential approval, the INL began work on a Tagalog grammar text and dictionary.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a>

<h4>Visits to Japan (1937–1938)</h4>
As <a href="/facts/Empire_of_Japan/gMpNKg2W">Imperial Japan</a> encroached on the Philippines, Quezon antagonized neither the American nor the Japanese officials. He travelled twice to Japan as president, from 31 January to 2 February 1937 and from 29 June to 10 July 1938, to meet with government officials. Quezon emphasized that he would remain loyal to the <a href="/facts/United_States/P0sCdLe5">United States</a>, assuring protection of the rights of the Japanese who resided in the Philippines. Quezon's visits may have signalled the Philippines' inclination to remain neutral in the event of a Japanese-American conflict if the U.S. disregarded the country's concerns.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a>

<h4>Council of State expansion</h4>
In 1938, Quezon expanded the <a href="/facts/Council_of_State_(Philippines)/b0bfq6Ap">Council of State</a> in Executive Order No. 144.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a> This highest of advisory bodies to the president would be composed of the President, <a href="/facts/Vice_President_of_the_Philippines/IycMwupJ">Vice President</a>, <a href="/facts/President_of_the_Senate_of_the_Philippines/JUTR9ddE">Senate President</a>, <a href="/facts/Speaker_of_the_House_of_Representatives_of_the_Philippines/R6vfG3nc">House Speaker</a>, <a href="/facts/President_pro_tempore_of_the_Senate_of_the_Philippines/RMCzAWve">Senate President pro tempore</a>, <a href="/facts/House_of_Representatives_of_the_Philippines/thJXpwBG">House Speaker pro tempore</a>, the majority floor leaders of both chambers of <a href="/facts/Congress_of_the_Philippines/nJuGo6E7">Congress</a>, former presidents, and three to five prominent citizens.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a>

<h4>1938 midterm election</h4>
Main article: <a href="/facts/1938_Philippine_legislative_election/PCGT1Eql">1938 Philippine legislative election</a>
The elections for the Second National Assembly were held on 8 November 1938 under a new law which allowed <a href="/facts/Plurality_block_voting/fna1pVv9">block voting</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> and favored the governing <a href="/facts/Nacionalista_Party/nnx6aSBl">Nacionalista Party</a>. As expected, all 98 assembly seats went to the Nacionalistas. <a href="/facts/Jos%C3%A9_Yulo/NKEXIFBt">José Yulo</a>, Quezon's <a href="/facts/Department_of_Justice_(Philippines)/mbdyBopb">Secretary of Justice</a> from 1934 to 1938, was elected speaker.
The <a href="/facts/2nd_National_Assembly_of_the_Philippines/o2EAPgsB">Second National Assembly</a> intended to pass legislation strengthening the economy, but the Second World War clouded the horizon; laws passed by the First National Assembly were modified or repealed to meet existing realities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a> A controversial <a href="/facts/Immigration_law/4LPyQRVH">immigration law</a> which set an annual limit of 50 immigrants per country,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a> primarily affecting Chinese and Japanese nationals escaping the <a href="/facts/Second_Sino-Japanese_War/QgPmgfHa">Sino-Japanese War</a>, was passed in 1940. Since the law affected foreign relations, it required the approval of the U.S. president. When the 1939 <a href="/facts/Demographics_of_the_Philippines/PshAf50j">census</a> was published, the National Assembly updated the apportionment of legislative districts; this became the basis for the <a href="/facts/1941_Philippine_general_election/J0INCL0f">1941 elections</a>.

<h4>1939 plebiscite</h4>
On 7 August 1939, the <a href="/facts/United_States_Congress/mJlU46K7">United States Congress</a> enacted a law in accordance with the recommendations of the Joint Preparatory Commission on Philippine Affairs. Because the new law required an amendment of the Ordinance appended to the Constitution, a plebiscite was held on 24 August 1939. The amendment received 1,339,453 votes in favor, and 49,633 against.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a>

<h4>Third official language</h4>

Quezon had established the Institute of National Language (INL) to create a national language for the country. On 30 December 1937, in <a href="https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1937/12/30/executive-order-no-134-s-1937/">Executive Order No. 134</a>, he declared <a href="/facts/Tagalog_language/G8UARRIl">Tagalog</a> the Philippines' national language; it was taught in schools during the 1940–1941 academic year. The National Assembly later enacted Law No. 570, making the <a href="/facts/Filipino_language/sFspmMjH">national language</a> an official language with English and Spanish; this became effective on 4 July 1946, with the establishment of the Philippine Republic.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a>

<h4>1940 plebiscites</h4>
Main article: <a href="/facts/1940_Philippine_constitutional_plebiscites/6LcCt0aW">1940 Philippine constitutional plebiscites</a>
With the 1940 local elections, plebiscites were held for proposed amendments to the constitution about a bicameral legislature, the presidential term (four years, with one re-election, and the establishment of an independent <a href="/facts/Commission_on_Elections_(Philippines)/sM5NtClD">Commission on Elections</a>. The amendments were overwhelmingly ratified. Speaker José Yulo and Assemblyman Dominador Tan traveled to the United States to obtain President <a href="/facts/Franklin_D._Roosevelt/HtG9vMQv">Franklin D. Roosevelt</a>'s approval, which they received on 2 December 1940. Two days later, Quezon proclaimed the amendments.

<h4>1941 presidential election</h4>
Quezon was originally barred by the Philippine constitution from seeking re-election. In 1940, however, a constitutional amendment was ratified which allowed him to serve a second term ending in 1943. In the <a href="/facts/1941_Philippine_general_election/J0INCL0f">1941 presidential election</a>, Quezon was re-elected over former <a href="/facts/Senate_of_the_Philippines/aoC7e3NB">Senator</a> <a href="/facts/Juan_Sumulong/ACfj3RhR">Juan Sumulong</a> with nearly 82 percent of the vote. He was inaugurated on December 30, 1941 at the <a href="/facts/Malinta_Tunnel/zu3CTMf1">Malinta Tunnel</a> in <a href="/facts/Corregidor/ugBEdQfQ">Corregidor</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a> The oath of office was administered by <a href="/facts/Chief_Justice_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_Philippines/U3kh7WXT">Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines</a> <a href="/facts/Jos%C3%A9_Abad_Santos/zY0epEda">José Abad Santos</a>. Corregidor was chosen as the venue of the inauguration and temporary seat of the government <a href="/facts/Government_in_exile_of_the_Commonwealth_of_the_Philippines/vf0T1tfM">in-exile</a> to take refuge from the uninterrupted Japanese bombing raids during the <a href="/facts/Philippines_campaign_(1941%E2%80%931942)/mCIJkq4G">Japanese invasion</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a>

<h3>Second term (1941–1944)</h3>
<h4>Pre-war activity</h4>
As crises mounted in the Pacific, the Philippines prepared for war. Youth military training under General <a href="/facts/Douglas_MacArthur/roDnxxbj">Douglas MacArthur</a> was intensified. The first <a href="/facts/Blackout_(wartime)/mxXIz2HQ">blackout</a> practice was held on the night of 10 July 1941 in Manila. First aid was taught in all schools and social clubs. Quezon established the Civilian Emergency Administration (CEA) on 1 April 1941, with branches in provinces and towns.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a> Air-raid drills were also held.

<h4>Jewish refugees</h4>

In cooperation with U.S. <a href="/facts/High_Commissioner_to_the_Philippines/TEbJLvAA">High Commissioner</a> <a href="/facts/Paul_V._McNutt/NWCNvvbJ">Paul V. McNutt</a>, Quezon facilitated the entry into the Philippines of Jewish refugees fleeing fascist regimes in Europe and took on critics who were convinced by propaganda that Jewish settlement was a threat to the country.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:80" href="#fn:80">80</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:81" href="#fn:81">81</a> Quezon and McNutt proposed 30,000 refugee families on Mindanao and 30,000-40,000 refugees on <a href="/facts/Polillo_Island/gK46M0Mg">Polillo</a>. Quezon made a 10-year loan to Manila's Jewish Refugee Committee of land adjacent to his family home in <a href="/facts/Marikina/hGg0ApY8">Marikina</a> to house homeless refugees in Marikina Hall (the present-day <a href="/facts/Philippine_School_of_Business_Administration/E0X0Fyyq">Philippine School of Business Administration</a>), which was dedicated on 23 April 1940.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a>

<h4>Government in exile</h4>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Government_in_exile_of_the_Commonwealth_of_the_Philippines/vf0T1tfM">Government in exile of the Commonwealth of the Philippines</a>

After the Japanese invasion of the Philippines during World War II,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a> Quezon evacuated to <a href="/facts/Corregidor/ugBEdQfQ">Corregidor</a> (where he was <a href="/facts/Second_inauguration_of_Manuel_L._Quezon/GdM0p5WC">inaugurated for his second term</a>) and then to the <a href="/facts/Visayas/QH0Sh7m8">Visayas</a> and Mindanao. At the invitation of the U.S. government,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a> he was evacuated to Australia,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a> and then to the United States. Quezon established the Commonwealth <a href="/facts/Government_in_exile/7Uzt8N2m">government in exile</a>, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. He was a member of the <a href="/facts/Pacific_War_Council/0sNIqwwl">Pacific War Council</a>, signed the United Nations declaration against the <a href="/facts/Axis_powers/Q3z1D8R9">Axis powers</a> and wrote The Good Fight, his autobiography.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a>

To conduct government business in exile, Quezon hired the entire floor of one wing of the <a href="/facts/Shoreham_Hotel/SP5vRElL">Shoreham Hotel</a> to accommodate his family and his office. Government offices were established at the quarters of Philippine Resident Commissioner Joaquin Elizalde, who became a member of Quezon's wartime cabinet. Other cabinet appointees were Brigadier-General <a href="/facts/Carlos_P._Romulo/FJK8QyXC">Carlos P. Romulo</a> as Secretary of the Department of Information and Public Relations and Jaime Hernandez as Auditor General.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a>
Sitting under a canvas canopy outside the <a href="/facts/Malinta_Tunnel/zu3CTMf1">Malinta Tunnel</a> on 22 January 1942, Quezon heard a <a href="/facts/Fireside_chats/yRBuq2aG">fireside chat</a> during which President Roosevelt said that the Allied forces were determined to defeat Berlin and Rome, followed by Tokyo. Quezon was infuriated, summoned General MacArthur and asked him if the U.S. would support the Philippines; if not, Quezon would return to Manila and allow himself to become a prisoner of war. MacArthur replied that if the Filipinos fighting the Japanese learned that he returned to Manila and became a Japanese puppet, they would consider him a turncoat.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:88" href="#fn:88">88</a>
Quezon then heard another broadcast by former president Emilio Aguinaldo urging him and his fellow Filipino officials to yield to superior Japanese forces. Quezon wrote a message to Roosevelt saying that he and his people had been abandoned by the U.S. and it was Quezon's duty as president to stop fighting. MacArthur learned about the message, and ordered Major General <a href="/facts/Richard_Marshall_(United_States_Army_officer)/9bREzBB1">Richard Marshall</a> to counterbalance it with American propaganda whose purpose was the "glorification of Filipino loyalty and heroism".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:89" href="#fn:89">89</a>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkmsoL8viM8">On 2 June 1942, Quezon addressed</a> the <a href="/facts/United_States_House_of_Representatives/cdBPb9pY">United States House of Representatives</a> about the necessity of relieving the Philippine front. He did the same to the Senate, urging the senators to adopt the slogan "Remember <a href="/facts/Battle_of_Bataan/njJuGbR5">Bataan</a>". Despite his declining health, Quezon traveled across the U.S. to remind the American people about the Philippine war.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:90" href="#fn:90">90</a>

<h4>Wartime</h4>

Quezon broadcast a radio message to Philippine residents in Hawaii, who purchased ₱4 million worth of <a href="/facts/War_bond/hoHxtHeM">war bonds</a>, for his first birthday celebration in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:91" href="#fn:91">91</a> Indicating the Philippine government's cooperation with the war effort, he offered the U.S. Army a Philippine infantry regiment which was authorized by the <a href="/facts/United_States_Department_of_War/ar4kWMdI">War Department</a> to train in California. Quezon had the Philippine government acquire Elizalde's yacht; renamed Bataan and crewed by Philippine officers and sailors, it was donated to the United States for use in the war.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:92" href="#fn:92">92</a>
In early November 1942, Quezon conferred with Roosevelt on a plan for a joint commission to study the post-war Philippine economy. Eighteen months later, the <a href="/facts/United_States_Congress/mJlU46K7">United States Congress</a> passed an act creating the Philippine Rehabilitation Commission.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:93" href="#fn:93">93</a>

<h4>Quezon-Osmeña impasse</h4>

By 1943, the Philippine government in exile was faced with a crisis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:94" href="#fn:94">94</a> According to the 1935 constitution, Quezon's term would expire on 30 December 1943 and Vice-President <a href="/facts/Sergio_Osme%C3%B1a/DqXYEWTq">Sergio Osmeña</a> would succeed him as president. Osmeña wrote to Quezon advising him of this, and Quezon issued a press release and wrote to Osmeña that a change in leadership would be unwise at that time. Osmeña then requested the opinion of <a href="/facts/U.S._Attorney_General/8VaY1rlI">U.S. Attorney General</a> <a href="/facts/Homer_Cummings/fEB4ARya">Homer Cummings</a>, who upheld Osmeña's view as consistent with the law. Quezon remained adamant, and sought President Roosevelt's decision. Roosevelt remained aloof from the controversy, suggesting that the Philippine officials resolve the impasse.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:95" href="#fn:95">95</a>
Quezon convened a cabinet meeting with Osmeña, <a href="/facts/Resident_Commissioner_of_the_Philippines/ssdqTAW9">Resident Commissioner</a> <a href="/facts/Joaqu%C3%ADn_Miguel_Elizalde/c2nklMUP">Joaquín Elizalde</a>, Brigadier General <a href="/facts/Carlos_P._Romulo/FJK8QyXC">Carlos P. Romulo</a> and his cabinet secretaries, <a href="/facts/Andr%C3%A9s_Soriano/aFWJvgP7">Andrés Soriano</a> and Jaime Hernandez. After a discussion, the cabinet supported Elizalde's position in favor of the constitution, and Quezon announced his plan to retire in California.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:96" href="#fn:96">96</a>
After the meeting, Osmeña approached Quezon and broached his plan to ask the United States Congress to suspend the constitutional provisions for presidential succession until after the Philippines had been liberated; this legal way out was agreeable to Quezon and his cabinet, and steps were taken to carry out the proposal. Sponsored by Senator Tydings and Congressman Bell, the resolution was unanimously approved by the <a href="/facts/United_States_Senate/VyzXHE01">Senate</a> on a <a href="/facts/Voice_vote/TDSflf1Y">voice vote</a> and passed the <a href="/facts/United_States_House_of_Representatives/cdBPb9pY">House of Representatives</a> by a vote of 181 to 107 on 10 November 1943.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:97" href="#fn:97">97</a> He was inaugurated for the third time on November 15, 1943 in <a href="/facts/Washington,_D.C./enXPK156">Washington, D.C.</a> The oath of office was administered by US <a href="/facts/Associate_Justice_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States/K88lDBQu">Associate Justice</a> <a href="/facts/Felix_Frankfurter/vM0CQNrQ">Felix Frankfurter</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:98" href="#fn:98">98</a>

<h2 id="death-and-burial">Death and burial</h2>

Quezon had developed <a href="/facts/Tuberculosis/ggPyovAl">tuberculosis</a> and spent his last years in hospitals, including a Miami Beach Army hospital in April 1944.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:99" href="#fn:99">99</a> That summer, he was at a <a href="/facts/Cure_cottages_of_Saranac_Lake/8adMDSRp">cure cottage</a> in <a href="/facts/Saranac_Lake,_New_York/1jphvPGW">Saranac Lake, New York</a>. Quezon died there at 10:05 a.m. <a href="/facts/Eastern_Time_Zone/jP4S8j1V">ET</a> on 1 August 1944, at age 65. His remains were initially buried in <a href="/facts/Arlington_National_Cemetery/bMHJMwCm">Arlington National Cemetery</a>, but his body was brought by former <a href="/facts/Governor-General_of_the_Philippines/yVmkBsAC">Governor-General</a> and High Commissioner <a href="/facts/Frank_Murphy/Au0v2a63">Frank Murphy</a> aboard the <a href="/facts/USS_Princeton_(CV-37)/7k42zeYl">USS Princeton</a> and re-interred in the <a href="/facts/Manila_North_Cemetery/FuNUetAv">Manila North Cemetery</a> on 17 July 1946.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:100" href="#fn:100">100</a> Those were then moved to a miniature copy of <a href="/facts/Napoleon%27s_tomb/1PFjjNgr">Napoleon's tomb</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:101" href="#fn:101">101</a> at the <a href="/facts/Quezon_Memorial_Shrine/M1GnzV1p">Quezon Memorial Shrine</a> in <a href="/facts/Quezon_City/YWBLFVWj">Quezon City</a>, on 1 August 1979.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:102" href="#fn:102">102</a>
