Along with Felipe Calderón y Roca, the main author of the constitution, Dr. González was on a committee that debated over each article of the charter from October 25 to November 29, 1898.

Unexpectedly, the Spanish mestizo and member of the Ilustrado (the moneyed and educated class), Dr González actively supported the Katipunan during the Revolution from 1896 to 1899; he was an offspring of a union not unlike that of the fictional Padre Dámaso and the married Doña Pía Alba de de los Santos in José Rizal's banned novel, Noli Me Tángere.

Dr González possessed contraband copies of Rizal's Noli Me Tángere and its sequel, El Filibusterismo, as well as writings of Madrid-based propagandistas, whom he knew socially.

During one skirmish, he was mistaken for the enemy because of his mestizo features, but on introducing himself fluently in the Bulaqueño dialect of Tagalog, the commanding general cleared him and said: "Not only is he one of us, he is my townmate!"

The body had oversight powers over the president, its legislators, Cabinet secretaries, the Chief Justice, and the Solicitor-General during adjournment of the Assembly.

According to the memoirs of Zoilo Hilario, treasurer of the Katipunan in Pampanga, Da Matea Rodriguez y Tuason viuda de Josef Sioco, viuda de Juan Arnedo-Cruz (1835–1918) was the single biggest contributor to the Katipunan in Pampanga, contributing thousands of gold coins to the cause, more than any of the big hacenderos of Bacolor, San Fernando, Mexico, and Guagua towns.

Their only daughter, Da Maria de la Paz Sioco y Carlos [+1897], became the second wife of Capitan Joaquin Arnedo y Tanjutco [+1897] also of barrio Sulipan, Apalit.
