[edit]Production
[edit]It was reported that the sequel to Goyo would be about President Manuel L. Quezon, with Benjamin Alves and TJ Trinidad set to reprise their roles as younger and older versions of Quezon respectively.[1][2] However, director Jerrold Tarog's work on the sequel was postponed after Star Cinema hired him in 2018 to direct Darna. While Tarog focused on filming for Darna, producer EA Rocha stated that pre-production work on the potential Quezon film would continue.[3]
In 2021, Tarrog teased the potential script co-written with Rody Vera on Twitter, stating that it was still to be submitted for approval.[4] In early 2024, it was revealed that film was still waiting for greenlight approval. The project would later receive a “large budget production fund" support from the Film Development Council of the Philippines as part of its CreatePHFilms Funding Program Cycle 1 of 2024.[5]
In 2025, TBA Studios confirmed that the filming of Quezon will commence in March of the same year,[6] with Mon Confiado reprising his role as Aguinaldo.[7]
