He studied law in the famous Escuela de Derecho (now Manila Law College Foundation) in Manila until September 1907, when he presented himself for examination with one hundred other students before an examining tribunal nominated by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. Only five applicants passed and Soriano was one of them. He started practicing law immediately. He then became the lawyer of the Manila Railroad Company.[1][2]

He was the chairman of the committee on the Manila Railroad, chairman of the special committee on distribution of public work funds, and a member of the Senate committee on Agricultural and Natural Resources. He is also a member of a special committee appointed to investigate the alleged "land trust" in the Philippines.

He was appointed member of the Philippine Independence Mission, and upon arriving in the United States, was made Chairman of a committee to investigate the Philippine Press Bureau in Washington, D.C. and recommended its continuance.

On August 15, 1925, Soriano was elected as a representative of the at-large district of Cavite through a special election. He filled the vacancy created by the death of Rep. Augusto Reyes on July 3, days before the opening of the 7th Philippine Legislature.[1][2] He was then re-elected to a fresh full term in 1928.
