Actor Jericho Rosales will star in "Keson" as Manuel L. Quezon for the upcoming historical film directed by Jerrold Tarog. The film is set to be released on February 18, announced by the company TBA Studios.
"Keson" tells the story of Manuel L. Quezon, a lawyer and soldier who became the President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944, as well as his campaign against then-President Emilio Aguinaldo. Tarog also filmed historical movies "General Luna" and "Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral" under the same cinematographic company TBA Studios.
Filming for "Keson" is slated to begin in March, and according to the production and distribution company, the film will be released exclusively in theaters this year.
In January, Rosales joined the cast of Muna Confiado, Benjamin Alves, and Arron Villaflor in the initial reading of the script. Rosales's last film was the romantic comedy "Girl in the Orange Dress," an official participant of the Manila Film Festival 2018.
