He entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an official, later serving as secretary to President José Manuel Balmaceda and eventually becoming undersecretary of foreign affairs. As a journalist, he wrote for La Libertad Electoral, La Época, El Heraldo and La Ley, the latter of which he directed for a period. He used the pseudonym "Fígaro".[1]
In 1890, Phillips founded the satirical newspaper El Fígaro, which opposed Balmaceda's government. Following the outbreak of the Chilean Civil War of 1891, he traveled to northern Chile and served as secretary to commander Vicente Merino Jarpa. In 1892, he returned to the Foreign Ministry as undersecretary and participated in matters concerning the boundary dispute between Chile and Argentina.[1]
In 1898, he served as a Chilean diplomat in London, but was removed from his post later that year. After returning to Chile, he published the pamphlet Mi destitución in 1899 concerning his dismissal.[1]
