Biography

Gaerlan was born in Tagudin, Ilocos Sur, on July 7, 1884, to Sabas Gaerlan and Rosalina Lorenza.[2]

Gaerlan held several administrative positions in Bontoc before becoming deputy governor of Benguet, then a subprovince of Mountain Province, from 1918 to 1922. He was the second Filipino to hold such position.[3] He subsequently became the deputy governor of Mountain Province from 1920 to 1921 and the acting deputy governor of Apayao and Benguet subprovinces from 1921 to 1922.

He was appointed to the House of Representatives as a delegate for the Mountain Province from 1931 to 1934, after which he was appointed by Governor-General Frank Murphy to become a Senator from the 12th Senatorial District representing the non-Christian majority provinces of the Cordilleras, Nueva Vizcaya, and Mindanao from 1934 to 1935.[2]
