00:00Enrique Ricky Quezon Avancena, grandson of former president Manuel L. Quezon,
00:05confronts the filmmakers and cast of the movie Quezon.
00:08He says the film is disrespectful in the misleading portrayal of his grandfather.
00:30Avancena, who attended the movie's post-screening discussion, goes on to accuse the filmmakers of
00:43prioritizing fame and profit over historical integrity. TBA Studios, the producer of the film,
00:49says in a statement that while the film includes fictional elements for thematic purposes,
00:53it is grounded in verified historical accounts, including President Quezon's own autobiography
00:58and other reputable sources. Quezon stars Jericho Rosales as the late president and is directed by
01:04Gerald Tarog, who also helmed General Luna in 2015, and Goyo, ang Batang General in 2018.
01:10The film depicts Quezon as both a visionary leader and a flawed and politically complex figure.
01:15Avancena is the son of the late Zenaida Nini Quezon Avancena,
01:19a human rights advocate and daughter of Manuel and Aurora Quezon.
