philanthropic instinct always led him to earn the respect of his townspeople so much so that with his own money he installed the San Francisco power plant. To offset the fluctuations in the costs of sugar cane, he built the park that is located in front of the town hall for the use and enjoyment of youth among many other contributions.

Through his fruitful life and in his eagerness to serve the people, he came to occupy various positions of importance at the governmental level and in the private sector, among them he was mayor of Yauco from 1925 to 1928.

For the municipal administration, its mayor and the Yaocanos, it is an honor to perpetuate the image and work of this illustrious gentleman.
