On October 19, 1898, President Aguinaldo appointed Dr González as the first Rector/President of the Universidad Cientifico-Literaria de Filipinas, the predecessor of the University of the Philippines. The university had faculties of civil and criminal law, as well as medicine and surgery. He taught legal medicine, toxicology, and public hygiene. In April 1899, Dr González joined the seven-member Permanent Commission of the National Assembly under the Malolos Constitution. The body had oversight powers over the President, its legislators, Cabinet secretaries, the Chief Justice, and the Solicitor-General during adjournment of the Assembly.
