About Pacífico Laygo
Pacifico is mentioned as one of the earliest Filipinos in America being a recipient of the 1903 Pensionado Act passed by Governor General William Howard Taft. This act provided Filipino students, called pensionados, the chance to study in the US. The first 104 pensionados invariably came from the principal families of their hometown or region. To qualify as a pensionado, a battery of tests, written and some oral tests, were administered—in English-- to percolate only the most promising academic achievers. Expectedly, the crème of the crop came from the upper class. In essence, they who had the time to tutor, and the wealth to insure that their scions would score better than the average plebeian. Pacifico finished his medical studies in the US.
Coming back to the Philippines, Dr. Pacifico served as medical health doctor of the Culion Leper Colony in Palawan. It is said that he owned the entire town of Culion!
He ran for an elective position in Lipa but unfortunately lost.
