A nephew of the Commonwealth-era politician Jaime C. de Veyra, he was a member of the Sanghiran san Binisaya, an early 20th-century association dedicated to the promotion of Waray culture[3][4] and the intellectualization of the Waray language and Waray literature.[5][6][7] As an anthologist, de Veyra collected stories, riddles, poems and proverbs from all over the province of Leyte, while as an orthographer he compiled orthographic rules for the Waray language.[8]
