Galasgas was born in Bokod, Benguet on September 15, 1940. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1966 by Bishop William Brasseur.[1] He was appointed Vicar Apostolic of Bontoc-Lagawe in 1992, following the division of the then Apostolic Vicariate of Montañosa (Mountain Province) into three separate jurisdictions: the Apostolic Vicariate of Bontoc-Lagawe, the Apostolic Vicariate of Tabuk, and the Apostolic Vicariate of Baguio.[2][3]
He served the vicariate until his death in May 15, 1995 due to cancer. He was succeeded by Francisco F. Claver.[1][4]
