PedroFlores was a native of Vintarilocos Norte, Philippines.
PedroFlores was reported to have sold his interest in his yo-yo manufacturing companies for greater than one quarter of a million dollars, which during the depression was a fortune.
Flores was quoted saying "I am more interested in teaching children to use the yo-yos than I am in manufacturing of yo-yos." Flores followed through by becoming one of the key promoters in Duncan's early yo-yo campaigns.
In Manhattan, Flores worked in various menial jobs, including digging a tunnel to help in the construction of the 8th Avenue subway, until he met a famous Puerto Rican musician, Rafael Hernández.
Flores formed his own group, Cuarteto Flores (Flores Quartet), with Davility, Panchito Rizet, and Daniel Santos.
It was during this period that Flores composed some of his best-known works, including Perdón, Esperanza Inútil, Bajo Un Palmar Tranquilo, Obsesión, and Qué Te Pasa? Flores performed these songs with his quartet as they traveled extensively through Latin America.
