He studied at the Ateneo Municipal de Manila where he obtained a summa cum laude of Bachelor of Arts degree and at the University of Santo Tomas where he finished his law studies. As a young man he was humbled by the feat of his classmates and study mates of their fluency in Spanish and had grown a liking and desire to learn Spanish though admiration of a novel entitled "Pepita Jimenez" of the Spanish realist, named Juan Valera. According to Agoncillo, "nobody suspected that he would someday become a literary man".

Guerrero (Fulvio Gil), Jose Palma, Rafael Palma (Hapon), Jaime C. De Veyra, Macario Pineda, Mariano V. Del Rosario (Tito-Tato), Salvador V. Del Rosario(X. Juan Tagalo) and Jose G. Abreu (Kaibigan).

“When I left the University of Santo Tomas, I had but a smattering of Spanish. My friends made sport of me. What keen mortification did I suffer at my ignorance! One day, no longer able to stand the jeerings of my friends, I made up my mind to learn Spanish. I purchased a dozen good novels and began to read. I did not spend hours over a grammar, but just kept on reading, taking care to remember the idioms. In the meantime my library grew.

A Great Filipino Academician

De los Santos was considered one of the best Filipino writers in Spanish of his time, compared only to Marcelo H. del Pilar. As a young man, he was the first Filipino to become a member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Language, Spanish Royal Academy of Literature and Spanish Royal Academy of History in Madrid and was touted as the "First Filipino Academician". It was the admiration of his writings that Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo asked the Real Academia Española to open its door to the benevolent young native scholar. As an ardent nationalist, De los Santos was associate editor of the revolutionary paper La Independencia, writing in scathing prose under the pen name G. Solon. He also co-founded newspapers like La Libertad, El Renaciemento, La Democracia, La Patria and Malaysia. He also made valuable publications namely; Algo de Prosa ( 1909), Literatura Tagala ( 1911), El Teatro Tagala (1911) Nuestra Literatura (1913), El Proceso del Dr. Jose Rizal (1914), Folklore Musical de Filipinas (1920). He also authored Filipinos y filipinistas (Filipinos and Filipinists), Cuentos y paisajes Filipinos (Philippine Stories and Scenes) and Criminality in the Philippines (1903-1908). He was the most eminent scholar of “Samahan ng mga Mananagalog” which was initiated by Felipe Calderon in 1904, and it includes active members with the likes of Lope K. Santos, Rosa Sevilla, Hermenigildo Cruz, Jaime C. De Veyra and Patricio Mariano. He was a man of many excellent talents and had been documented as a translator (Spanish, English, French and German), linguist (even dialects like Ita, Tingian, Ibalao), philosopher, philologist, painter, musician (guitar, piano and violin), poet, biographer, bibliographer, monographer, journalist, publisher, essayist, editor, literary critic, art critic, lecturer, researcher, government executive, jurist, politician, lawyer, outstanding civil servant and philantropist in his lifetime by various historians (Gregorio F. Zaide, Libardo D. Cayco, Teodoro Agoncillo et. al.), local and foreign writers and even American critics like Austin Craig and A.V. Hardtendorp. As a gifted artist, he was described as a brilliant painter but failed to develop more of this talent. As an accomplished musican, he was one of the expert pianist and master guitar player in his time compared to his follower,Guillermo Tolentino (distuinguished sculptor), and General Fernando Canon (revolutionary hero). The artistic potential of the guitar through his skills was realized and documentedly praised by local and foreign music critics like Charles E. Griffith. Griffith likened his guitar playing to the great Segovia of Spain. He was also known to play the violin as well. This outstanding feat earns him a polymath status just like Jose Rizal. Gregorio F.

Exemplary Service

Aside from his intense passion for the arts and culture, Don Panyong as he was fondly called was short-lived in politics due to his daring independence and popular literary criticisms to officials. Being an all around intellectual his scholarly criticisms whether art, literature and politics were constructive and lively as it gets. He published Rizal's story entitled "Los Animales de Suan," a satire of the political satraps of the time because of the conditions that still persisted among many officials even after the Spanish sovereignty. He has an intellect of the first magnitude and never runs out of humor. He was appointed district attorney of San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. He was later elected as governor of Nueva Ecija in 1902 and 1904. Being a member of the Philippine Commission, he was immediately considered as one of those worthy Filipino intellectuals to represent the prestigious and controversial Saint Louis World's Fair in 1904. After his stint as governor, he was appointed provincial fiscal of Bulacan and Bataan provinces. He even wrote a controversial treatise on electoral fraud “Electoral Fraud and its Remedies" (Fraudes Electorales y Sus Remedios) in 1907 for the Philippine Assembly. On the side, he devoted his spare time to researches in Philippine history and literature establishing himself as a historian, bibliographer and collector of Filipiniana. His collections where destroyed when a fire hit his house in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija. According to his descendants, he was asked so many times by famous historical figures to run for Presidency but he just never like dirty politics. In 1918, he was appointed by Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Harrison as Technical Director of the Philippine Census.

An American historian, Austin Craig, says to him:

" When he assumed the position of Director, at the sacrifice of the comfort of his independent means gave him, he abandoned all his collecting and gave the same zeal to the futherance of the government's interest that had made his own collection in works, paintings, sculpture, furniture, and all other lines of artistic Philippines unrivaled. The Library and Museum profited by his administration more than under any of his predecessors, counting that their work was adding largely known collections by purchases made possible by legislative appropriation."

Title Earned

He died in office on April 18, 1928. The Philippine government paid him a tribute to a stately funeral. Local and foreign scholars lamented to a loss to what has been described by them as the "Great among the Great Filipino Scholars".

Visionary Historian and Faith to His Countrymen

According to Hartendorp, he was the first highly educated and cultured Filipino to direct the attention of his countrymen to their own illustrious men, and to their own art, literature, poetry and music. He once said: “We Filipinos are the most promising people in the world. We have unheard-of-possibilities. There have never been a people similarly situated. Here we are in the Orient with our Oriental thoughts and sentiments, but living amid a civilization more Western than was ever known in The East. The Philippines is the only country where East meets West. The Filipino is a true cosmopolitan. From him the world may expect something new and distinctive.” The term the Orient - literally meaning sunrise, east - is traditionally used to refer to Near, Middle, and Far Eastern countries. ...

Today's events are tomorrow's history, yet events as seen by the naked eye lack the depth and breadth of human struggles, triumphs, and sufferings. Writing history is writing the soul of the past- curiously unearthing facts and circumstances, and looking deeply into the reasons why, so that the present generation may learn from past mistakes, be inspired by the ancestors' sacrifices, and take responsibility for the future.

According to Zaide, there are documents and printed matter in his collection that cannot be found elsewhere, not even in the Filipiniana Division of The National Library nor in any library the world over, the Library of Congress of the United States included. The best years of his life were spent in looking for them only to find them after an almost “wild good chase” of a lifetime. As a meticulous writer, he dominated the viewpoint in that era that writing history needs serious authentication, synthesis and perspective.
