Quezon meets Quezon

CEBU, Philippines —  In a delightful surprise, actor TJ Trinidad graced the set of the highly anticipated historical biopic “Quezon” last April 26. Trinidad immediately connected with lead actor Jericho Rosales, sharing a warm hug and exchanging heartfelt words of support and camaraderie.

Trinidad briefly portrayed Quezon in the final scene of “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.” However, due to personal commitments, he had to step away from continuing in the role. Earlier this year, TBA Studios, the production company renowned for its blockbuster historical series “Heneral Luna,” “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral,” and now “Quezon,” announced that Rosales would take on the significant role of Manuel L. Quezon, the first President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines.

Despite stepping back from the role, Trinidad has given his full support to the project, extending his congratulations to both Rosales and Benjamin Alves, who have previously played the younger Quezon in “Heneral Luna” and “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.”

Filming for “Quezon” is still ongoing with a target local and international theatrical release later this year.
