Miguel Cornejo y Reyes (May 8, 1888 – August 8, 1984) was a Filipino soldier, politician, and lawyer. He served as Municipal President of Pasay and representative from Mountain Province. During the American Administration in the Philippines,[1] and after independence, as an attorney and legislator he championed many causes.[2][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 Philippine National Guard (PNG) in World War I after legislative enactment of the Militia Act on March 17, 1917.[2] 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.[2][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.[citation needed]
