    Early life[edit source]


    Villamor was born in Bangued, Abra on February 1, 1863 to parents Florencio Villamor
    and Wenceslawa Borbon. His father died when he was young. Wanting to be a priest,
    he attended at the Seminario Conciliar of Vigan, [1] Ilocos Sur but did not push through
    with the vocation.[2]
    In 1882, he studied at the San Juan de Letran in Manila and acquired a bachelor's and
    master's degrees. At the University of Santo Tomas, he acquired his law degree in
    March 1893 while completing two-year work on literature and philosophy at the same
    time. Married to Mariquita Flores,[1] he was the father five children, including the
    decorated war veteran Jesus Antonio Villamor.[3]

    Career[edit source]

    He established the College of San Antonio de Padua in 1889, [4] and he was his
    province's delegate to the Malolos Congress and participated in the drafting of the new
    Philippine constitution, particularly on the provision of universal education for all.
    Together with Enrique Mendiola, he co-founded the Liceo de Manila [1] on June 29, 1900,
    [2]
     where he was a professor and secretary.[1]
    Judiciary[edit source]
    On February 16, 1901, he served as prosecuting fiscal of Pangasinan and then judge of
    the Court of First Instance of the sixth judicial district, which was composed
    of Cavite, Laguna, and Tayabas. He then was appointed as Solicitor General from July
    17, 1906 to July 1, 1908 and appointed as Attorney General of the Philippines from July
    1, 1908 to June 30, 1914.[1]

    In 1913, Villamor became the Philippine Commission Executive Secretary of the
    Philippine Islands and director of the Bureau of Customs on 1918.[1]

    He was appointed the president of the University of the Philippines (UP) in 1915,
    becoming its first Filipino president when he replaced American Murray Bartlett. [1] The
    school expanded during his term, adding new units like Conservatory of Music [5] and
    opening the College of Education and the University High School. [6] The Junior College
    of Liberal Arts in Cebu City was also established. Through the initiative of then Cebu
    Governor Manuel Roa who petitioned for its establishment on April 30, 1918, it was
    created by virtue of Act No. 2759 that was backed up by Speaker of the Philippine
    Commission Sergio Osmeña. When the college opened on July 1, 1918, its first
    registrar was Paulino Gullas with Dr. Lawrence Wharton as first dean.[3]
    Villamor was replaced by Guy Potter Benton as UP President.
    Supreme Court[edit source]
    After his term at the University of the Philippines ended, he served as Associate Justice
    of the Supreme Court in 1921 and remained in the position until his retirement. [1][2]

    on the Election Law, Election Frauds and Their Remedies, and others. [7]
