Biography

Palma was born in Manila on 24 October 1874 to Don Hermógenes Palma, a clerk at the Intendencia Office, and Hilaria Velásquez. His younger brother was the soldier-poet José Palma–the author of the Spanish poem «Filipinas», which was, along with its subsequent translations, used in the Philippine National Anthem.

He was later elected a Senator under the Nacionalista Party, consistently representing the 4th District, in both the 1916 and 1919 senatorial polls.

Palma died in Manila on 24 May 1939.
