Early life
[edit]Gabaldón was born in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, Captaincy General of the Philippines (present-day Philippines) on December 8, 1875,[1] and was a Spanish Filipino, the son of José Gabaldón Pérez, a Spaniard from Tébar, Cuenca, and of María González Mendoza, a mestiza. He was the grandson by paternal side of Lorenzo Gabaldón and Luisa Pérez, and by maternal side of Cosmé González and Bárbara Mendoza.[2]
Education and law practice
[edit]Gabaldón attended the public schools in Tebar, Spain,[1] which was his father's hometown.[3] He studied law at the Universidad Central in Madrid, Spain and graduated from the Univérsidad de Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines. He practiced law from 1903 to 1906.[1]
Political career
[edit]Gabaldón served as governor of the province of Nueva Ecija in 1906 and from 1912 to 1916. He was a member of the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1912. He later served in the Philippine Senate between 1916 and 1919. He was elected as a Nationalist and a resident commissioner to the United States in 1920.[1] He was reelected in 1923 and 1925, and served from March 4, 1920, until his resignation effective July 16, 1928, having been nominated for election to the Philippine House of Representatives.
