Domingo Isaac Abella was born in 1873 in Nueva Caceres, Ambos Camarines, Philippines to Manuel Pinzon Abella and Bibiana Isaac. As a boy, he excelled in mental activities and was versatile in various sports, such as fencing, sipa and arnis. He is described as possessing enviably good looks.

Domingo became a surveyor by profession and was a wealthy businessman despite his age. Raised in privilege and naturally outspoken, he took every opportunity to address crowds at gatherings, denouncing the Spanish regime. Moved by youthful idealism, Domingo supposedly joined the Katipunan and was tasked to recruit the aborigines of Mount Isarog to join the movement.
