Born in Bacolor, Pampanga, Galang was raised toward the end of Spanish rule and the beginning of the American colonial era. Educated at Pampanga High School, he became a stenographer and pursued a law degree, likely without finishing. In 1921, he published three groundbreaking works of Filipino literature written in English, each the first of their kind in history: A Child of Sorrow, a novel; Tales of the Philippines, a collection of legends and folktales; and Life and Success, a collection of essays. Throughout his career, Zoilo wrote history books for elementary school students, supervised the publication of a twenty-volume encyclopedia on the Philippines, and published the first Filipino short story collection written in English.ver menos
