Pedro Flores was a native of Vintarilocos Norte, Philippines.
Pedro Flores 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.
