Manuel Luis Quezon

Manuel Luis Quezon (born August 19, 1878) was a Filipino political leader who served as a Representative from the Philippine Islands (PI) to the United States Congress in the early twentieth century. Identified in congressional records under the bioguide ID Q000009, he represented PI as an at-large delegate, reflecting the territorial status of the islands during this period. His party affiliation is listed as unknown in the available metadata.

Quezon began his congressional service on March 15, 1909, and remained in office until March 3, 1917. During this time, he held the role of Representative for the at-large district of the Philippine Islands, completing four terms in Congress. His tenure placed him among the historical members of Congress who represented U.S. territories rather than states, at a time when the political relationship between the United States and the Philippine Islands was still being defined.

Serving from 1909 to 1917, Quezon’s congressional career marked a significant phase in the political representation of the Philippine Islands in Washington, D.C. Although specific committee assignments, office room, and contact details are not recorded in the provided data, his years in office situate him within the broader context of early twentieth-century U.S. territorial governance. He is recorded as a former member of Congress, with no additional federal roles or later offices indicated in the available metadata.
