In what chronological order does Manuel L. Quezon fall in as president of the Republic of the Philippines?
Manuel Luis Quezon (19 August 1878 – 1 August 1944), also referred to by his initials MLQ, was a Filipino statesman, soldier and politician who served as president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. He was the first Filipino to head a government of the entire Philippines (as opposed to the government of previous Philippine states), and is considered to have been the second president of the Philippines, after Emilio Aguinaldo (1899–1901), whom Quezon defeated in the 1935 presidential election.

andesean, I think that you will find that 1899-1901 does not represent the years of his birth and death.

He is considered to be the first president of the independent Republic, that's why the question is unclear. Even in the answer he is mentioned as the first president.

Quezon “is considered to have been the second president of the Philippines, after Emilio Aguinaldo (1899–1901), whom Quezon defeated in the 1935 presidential election.“
He defeated a dead man?
