The film, which focuses on the life and leadership of President Manuel L. Quezon during the American occupation, has been declared the number one movie in the country during its opening week, screening in over 300 cinemas nationwide.
The Department of Education (DepEd) has thrown its support behind the film, encouraging junior and senior high school learners and teachers to participate and integrate the film into classroom discussions. The film aims to strengthen historical awareness, civic education, and appreciation of the arts among Filipino learners. DepEd's endorsement has led to a special ticket price of P250 for students and teachers, who can watch the film by presenting a valid school ID at ticket counters in select major cinemas nationwide.
'Quezon' is the conclusion to TBA Studios' cinematic Bayaniverse trilogy, a series of films based on Philippine history.

Despite the search results not providing information about which schools are participating in the promotion, the film's impact on educating the youth about Philippine history is undeniable.
With 'Quezon' being the number one movie in the Philippines, it is clear that the film has resonated with the public. The Department of Education's support and the special ticket price for students and teachers ensure that the film's educational value reaches a wider audience, fostering a deeper understanding of Philippine history and its leaders.
