Jaime C. de Veyra
Jaime Carlos de Veyra y Díaz (November 4, 1873 – March 7, 1963) was a Resident Commissioner to the U.S. House of Representatives from the Philippine Islands from 1917 to 1923 and Governor of Leyte from 1906 to 1907.
He was born on November 4, 1873, in the town of Tanauan in Leyte province.
De Veyra attended both public and private schools. In 1888, he began studying at Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Manila, and graduated in 1893 with a Bachelor of Arts. In 1895, he began studying for a Bachelor of Law and a Bachelor of Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. He completed both degrees in 1898.
From 1888 to 1899, he served as secretary to the Military Governor of Leyte, General Ambrosio Moxica.
In 1901, he was elected municipal councilor in the town of Cebu, and became municipal vice-president the following year. In 1903, he became president of the electoral assembly of Cebu. In 1904, de Veyra became Director of Liceo de Maasim, in Leyte, and served until 1905.
In 1905, he became an editor for the Spanish- and Tagalog-language newspaper El Renacimiento.
In 1906, de Veyra became Governor of Leyte. De Veyra, as governor, noted that hemp farmers experienced a business crisis starting in 1905 due to reduced credit and money shortages, resulting in the closure of Smith, Bell & Co. and Compaña Tabacalera by late August 1906, leaving four agencies open. Corruption were also a problem in the municipalities, with three municipal treasurers prosecuted for embezzlement in 1906.
De Veyra's administration also faced challenges due to the resurgence of Pulahanes attacks beginning in June 1906. After subsequent attacks in July and burning of barrios within Leyte's municipalities, de Veyra labeled them as terrorists.
