He was teacher and principal of Cebu Normal School of Cebu City in the early 1900s. In 1914 he explored the surrounding area of the new settlement in the barrio Bugho of Abuyog, Leyte. At that time he had come from Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte, where he had farmed since 1908 after his resignation as principal at the Cebu Normal School.
He died in Consolacion in 1957. Two years after his death, Bugho was finally converted to an independent municipality. In December 1965, the municipal Council of (then) Bugho unanimously approved a resolution to change its name to Javier, in honor of him.
