[1] In his later life he served in various political offices including Secretario del Congreso and Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic (1956-1962).
In addition to his teaching, Chavez Aliaga was a journalist and in 1923 started to edit the newspaper El Obrero.
In spite of this three years later in 1926, Chávez Aliaga returned to journalism as editor of a new newspaper called El Perú which was first published on 28 July 1926.
Through this newspaper Chávez Aliaga expanded his leadership role in the political arena and highlighted stories such as the restructuring of the most important guild in Cajamarca: The Free Society of Artisans.
It was around these years that a young Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre brought forth his progressive ideas to create a political party that reached all the corners of Perú.
For Manuel Prado Ugarteche's second government (1959 - 1962), Chávez Aliaga was nominated Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic.
