Anacleto headed the 1927 Commission on Revision that drafted the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines; this went into effect in 1932, replacing the Spanish Penal Code that had been in force since the 1880s. He started out as assistant prosecuting attorney for the law department of Manila in 1912. By 1927 he was professorial lecturer on criminal law for the UP's College of Law. He was appointed by US President Franklin Roosevelt to the Supreme Court in 1933. He and two of his sons (Carlos and Teodoro) would be executed by the Japanese Army during the Battle of Manila in 10 February 1945.
