Miguel R. Cornejo (1888–1984), two-term Municipal President (Mayor) of the City of Pasay, Philippines,^[1] was also an elected member of the 6th Philippine Legislature (Congress) from 1922–1925^{[citation needed]}. During the American Administration in the Philippines,^[2] and after independence, as an attorney and legislator he championed many causes.^[3] In 1939, he compiled and published the Cornejo's Commonwealth Directory of the Philippines, often used as an historical source for the period.^[4] Earlier in his career, he served in the National Guard in World War I after legislative enactment of the Militia Act on March 17, 1917. After the war upon its disbandment, because the US Territorial government did not authorize a Philippine Army at the time, Miguel R. Cornejo, together with Manuel David, founded the military organization of the National Volunteers of the Philippines, leading as Brigadier General.^[5] Descended from a prominent Spanish Filipino Mestizo Family, he spoke and authored many works in fluent Spanish, English^[6] and Tagalog.^{[citation needed]} He married Crisanta Soldevilla of Gasan, Marinduque. His descendants are spread all over the world, from Australia^[7] to Miami, Florida, USA, as well as Ontario, Canada.
