Gregorio Sanciangco, prominent son of Malabon | |||
GREGORIO SANCIANGCO was a lawyer, economist and writer born March 7, 1852 in Malabon, Rizal. His parents were Eladio Sanciangco and Regina Gozon. He was educated in the Philippines and in Spain, where he became a Doctor of Laws at the "Universidad Central de Madrid," becoming the first Filipino to attain that honor at the famed university. | |||
Sanciangco was widely known and admired in Spain as a writer. He was one of a new breed of reform-seeking Filipinos that began to emerge in the 1880s, that included Marcelo H. del Pilar, Graciano Lopez-Jaena, Mariano Ponce, Jose Rizal, and others. | |||
In 1881 he published the first Treatise on Economics entitled "El Progreso de Filipinas." In his "El Progreso," he drew up ways on how Spain could best administer the Philippines and earn the needed revenue to allow it to become a productive colony. | |||
He returned to the Philippines in 1887 and became a justice of the peace in Cabanatuan. But he had a conflict with the parish priest there, so he resigned and joined a law firm. | |||
In 1889 he was deported to Lingayen for sedition but was subsequently freed for lack of evidence. | |||
He died on November 17, 1897 in Nueva Ecija. | |||
A school in Tonsuya was named the Gregorio G. Sanciangco Elementary School on March 16, 1941. On March 7, 1952, on his 100th year birth anniversary, the Philippine Historical Committee placed a marker on the house where he was born in Tonsuya. The public library of Pasay was also named Gregorio G. Sanciangco Memorial Library in July 1954. | |||
