[Im. 3]
[Nos], el doctor don Diego Camacho y Ávila, por la gracia de Dios y de la Santa Sede Apostólica,
Arzobispo de Manila Metropolitano de estas islas Filipinas y gobernador
apostólico del obispado, sufragáneo de la Nueva Segovia, vacante del consejo
de su majestad = A vos los fieles cristianos, estantes, habitantes, y residentes en
la ciudad de Manila y en todo este nuestro arzobispado y en el Obispado de la Nueva Segovia
sede vacante que es a nuestro cargo, salud a nuestro señor Jesucristo. Ya sabéis
o debéis saber que la obligación principal del cargo y oficio pastoral que Dios nuestro señor
fue servido poner sobre nuestros flacos hombros, es evitar todas y cualesquier ocasiones
de pecados que se puedan perpetrar contra su divina majestad, más en estos tiempos en
que estamos experimentando todos los de la monarquía de España sus justos
enojos con tantos azotes de pestes, guerras, hambres, y la falta de sucesión a la
real corona en nuestro católico monarca, indignaciones todas que debemos considerar
merecemos de la divina justicia por nuestros pecados. Sobre que ya visteis y oísteis
las rogativas públicas que por tiempo de nueve días se hicieron por mandato de nuestro
rey y señor (que Dios guarde), para que con la reformación de costumbres, enmienda
de vidas, y frecuencia de sacramentos, se aplaque la justísima indignación de
Dios contra nosotros, que debemos temer más rigurosa si de nuestra parte no ejecutamos
tan católicos preceptos. En cuya atención, y porqué de la concurrencia
de hombres y mujeres en donde se representan comedias ya obscenas, ya trá[gicas]
y ejemplares se han experimentado y cada dia se experimentan muchas of[ensas contra]
Dios nuestro señor, cuya bondad inmensa debe ser infinitamente amada [ ] [recurso]
mismo de entrambos sexos en que el enemigo común no cesa ja[más] []
citar incentivos con que abrazar las almas en el fuego infernal de la concupiscencia,
como por lo que de semejantes comedias y representaciones se origina, ya por ser
ellas mismas arte diabólico de enseñar venganzas, duelos, liviandades, y de poner en
práctica modos y medios ilícitos y deshonestos de ofender la majestad de Dios. Y haciendo [stop here, 7-9-2024, decide whether this sentence belongs to the previous or next sentence]
ellos mismos el tropiezo y ocasión de semejantes culpas y maldades y de otras
muchas que vosotros no ignoráis y sabéis muy bien. Circunstancias todas que atentamente
vistas son saludablemente prohibidas por los sagrados cánones y especialmente por el
Concilio Toledano, cuya saludable resolución se tomó también en tiempo de nuestros católicos monarcas
(que santa gloria hayan) los señores Don Felipe segundo y Don Felipe cuatro,
el grande, habiendo sido este dictamen cristiano y político de la
mayor parte del real y supremo Consejo de Castilla, sobre que deseando como de-seamos
ejecutarlo para poner el remedio que ataje tan perniciosos daños en
vuestras almas, para que Dios nuestro señor sea más dignamente loado, servido, y venerado.
Y cumpliendo con nuestra obligación y oficio pastoral, desde luego para en adelante,
et in perpetuum, quitamos y prohibimos absolutamente todas, y cualesquiera
comedias, de cualquier especie que sean coloquios y entremeses de
cualquier idioma que fueren y escuadrones de mujeres de cualquiera

We, the doctor Don Diego Camacho y Ávila, by the grace of God and of the Holy Apostolic See, Archbishop of the Metropolitan of Manila of these islands of the Philippines, Apostolic Governor of the Bishopric, and Suffragan of Nueva Segovia, a seat currently vacant under the council of His Majesty. To you current faithful Christians, inhabitants and residents of the City of Manila, and in all our Archbishopric and in the Bishopric of Nueva Segovia, a vacant seat that is in our charge, in the health of our Lord Jesus Christ, you know or should know that it has been our principal pastoral charge and obligation, which God, our Lord, has placed on our fragile shoulders, to avoid all and any occasions of sin which might be perpetrated against His Divine Majesty, more so in these times in which we are experiencing throughout the monarchy of Spain his righteous anger with so many calamities of plagues, wars, hunger, and the lack of succession to the Royal Crown of our Catholic Monarchy, all indignations that we must consider. We deserve from the Divine justice for our sins, of which you have already seen and heard the public orations that were held in the span of nine days by the orders of our King and Lord (may God guard him), so that with the reformation of our customs, amendment of lives, and the frequency of sacraments, may appease the very just indignation of God against us and so we may more rigorously fear if, on our part, we fail to deliver the Catholic precepts. In whose attention, and because of the gathering of men and women wherein already obscene comedias are performed, already tragedies and exemplaries have been experimented with and with every day experience many offenses against God our Lord, for whose immense goodness we owe infinite adoration, [ ] the same regard for both sexes in who the shared enemy does not cease to incentivize means with which to embrace their souls in the infernal fire of lust, as well as those that similar comedias and representations bring about. They are themselves diabolical arts that teach revenge, duels, frivolities, and the practice of illicit means and manners and dishonesties to offend the majesty of God. And taking upon themselves the stumbling blocks and opportunities for similar faults and evils and many others that you are not ignorant of and know very well. All these circumstances carefully considered are zealously prohibited by the sacred canons and especially by the Council of Toledo, whose salutary resolution was also made in the time of our Catholic Monarchs, (Holy Glory may prevail) Lord Don Felipe the Second and Lord Don Felipe the Fourth, the Grand. This was the Christian and political opinion of the greater part of the Royal and Supreme Council of Castile. Concerning this, desiring as we wish to put in place the remedy that will stop such pernicious damages on your souls so that God our Lord may be more worthily praised, served, and venerated. And fulfilling our pastoral obligation and service, from now on, et in perpetuum, we remove and prohibit absolutely all and any comedias of this kind that are dialogues and interludes of any language and by squadrons of women of any

Relación y otros instrumentos sobre el desacato de los Naturales de Dongalo. 1717.

haciendo su cerca [que] era el sitio que llaman Santa Lucía. Y cuando llegamos, hallamos
que estaba toda la gente de Dongalo viejos, y mozos, y hasta los muchachos,
y todos los baguntaos, y sacristanes, que al parecer había más
de trescientas personas. Y luego que nos vieron llegar a donde estaba el
juez y sus compañeros, los motores del pleito, se acercó la mayor parte de
la gente, y nos fueron cogiendo en medio. Yo [reparé] que todos tenían
en las manos fuera de los bolos muy buenos garrotes y otros tenían
machetes y garrotes y algunos lanzas cortas, y el juez mayor su
alfanje. Y habiéndome yo llegado [donde] estaba el juez mayor le dije
que como hacía lo que hacía de haber echado [bando] para que toda la
gente saliera a hacer la cerca que estaban haciendo, habiéndole yo dicho
lo que le dije el día viernes en la tarde, me respondió que no podía
hacer otra cosa porque bastaba que [si lo] hubieran pedido todos los del común
de su pueblo. Y que bastaba la orden verbal del señor oidor fiscal que les había
dado para hacer la cerca donde la hacían. Y que así que ellos sabían
muy bien lo que se hacía. Yo le dije que nada de lo que había mandado
ni hacían era puesto en razón. Pues si él era [justicia] debía obrar como
Dios manda, y no hacer [una] sin razón como la que estaban haciendo.
Pero que Dios [cuidado] y que se resultare alguna cosa que él lo había
de pagar por fin [por] haber mandado hacer lo que todo el común
de Dongalo estaba haciendo. Y que esperaba en Dios el que no habían
de ganar el pleito, y también le dijimos que como decían que
se lo había mandado el señor oidor fiscal pues al Hermano Fray Diego le había
dicho dicho señor oidor fiscal que él no había mandado tal cosa, y a
eso respondieron ellos que a ellos se lo había dicho verbalmente. Y que
así [se veían] muy bien lo que se hacían, y yo le dije tanto a él como
al Capitán Pablo, y a sus compañeros: "con que vosotros diréis más verdad

where they were constructing the fence, which is a place they call Santa Lucía. And when we arrived, we saw
all the people of Dongalo, old and young, and even the young men,
and all the ^{*Most likely, a reference to the young men in the community.baguntaos}, and sacristans, so that overall there were more than
three hundred people. And after seeing us arrive to the place where
the judge [of the Indios] and his partners where, the claimants of the case. [And] the majority of the people came nearby and they started surrounding us. I noticed that they all had
in their hands, besides sticks, some very good cudgels and other had
machetes and cudgels [sic] and some had short lances. And the judge of the Indios had his
scimitar. And having arrived where the judge of the Indios was located I told him
that what he had done by sending an order to have all the
people come to the fence that they were building, even after I told him
what I told him on Friday afternoon. He responded that he could not do
anything else because it was sufficient that the principales from the town had requested it. And it was
sufficient to have the verbal order of the señor judge, which
he had delivered to construct the fence where they were building it. And that it was so that they knew
very well what they were doing. I told him that nothing he had ordered [or]
that they had done was reasonable, because he was a judge and had to do what
God ordered, and not do unreasonable things like he was doing.
However, God was going to make him pay
for having ordered the principales to do what
the principales of Dongalo were doing. And I hoped God would not allow
them to win the case. And we also told them that
Brother Fray Diego had gone to see the señor judge who
had told him that he had not ordered such a thing. And to that
they responded that they had given the order to them orally. And [they said] that
they were doing the right thing. And I told him and
Captain Pablo and his partners: "it looks like you are saying a higher truth

que el padre." Y todo esto se le dije con palabras corteses, y sin [descomponer]me
en cosa alguna. Y le dijimos: "mira hijos nosotros no [venimos]
haceros ningún daño o vejación pues las armas que [traemos]
son esta correa de nuestro padre San Agustín" y se la enseñamos. [Y] [viendo]
con el modo que estaba el Capitán Pablo le dije: "[tu]
el peor de todos pues a todos los estás alborotando y todos [hacen]
lo que tú quieres porque te tienen miedo. Y andáis yendo
de ramas, para pleitear y [encogiendo] la plata [sus]
Dios adonde va a parar." Y me respondió: "yo sé muy bien lo que
me hago, y sé cuáles son nuestras tierras, y vosotros no y pues
hacemos la cerca [porque]sabemos que hasta aquí son nuestras [tierras]
y vosotros no sabéis lo que es vuestro. Y así esto que es nuestro [nos]
queréis quitar". A que le respondí, "¿cómo tienes atrevimiento de decir
una cosa como esa pues nosotros antes pecamos de sórdidos
que de avarientos pero solo tu podías decir eso que
eres cristiano. Pues, en todo el tiempo que he estado aquí []
no te he visto acción que huela a cristiano. Pues en todo evento
no has entrado en la iglesia ni una vez siquiera a oír misa. Ni
tampoco has cumplido con la iglesia. Mira si todo eso que haces
es lo que manda Dios. Y si es lo que yo digo, el que no hace acción
que sea de cristiano... Y a mí me toca como tu ministro
averiguar si oyes o no. Mas ya, pues no tengo por donde mecerte
el que la oyes en otra parte." Y me respondió: "es verdad que [no]
oigo en esta iglesia sino donde me parece porque os tengo [miedo]
porque todos me tenéis rencor. Porque decir que yo soy el [caso]

than the priest." And I said all this with courteous words and without getting upset about anything. And we said, "look sons, we do not come
to do any harm or humilliate you, given that our arms
are these belts of Our Father Saint Augustine," and we show these to them. And seeing
the demeanor of Captain Pablo, I said: "you
are the worst of all because you are disturbing everyone and everyone does
what you want because they fear you. And you do not do what you
are supposed to do because you litigate whenever--as God knows--
there is money to be grabbed. And he responded, "I know very well what
I do, and I know which are our lands and you don't. We are making this
fence because we know that up to this point we have our lands
and you do not know where yours are. And you are trying to
take away what is ours." And I responded, "how do you dare say
such a thing as this? Because we might sin for being sordid
but not greedy. And you say these things as if you were
a Christian. Because, in all the time I have been here,
I have not seen you take any action that appears to be Christian. Because
you have not come into the church for any of our events, not even to hear mass. And
you have not fulfilled your duty with the church. Think about whether what you
do is what God wills. And this does not come just from me. The person who does not act like a Christian... And as your minister, it is my duty to know
if you are listening or not. But I cannot change what
your hear elsewhere." And he responded, "it is true that I do not
hear [mass] in this church, but where I want to, because I am afraid
of you, because all of you are resentful of me. Because you say that I am the cause
of the litigation about these lands, and I do not want to see
any of you. And concerning whether or not I hear mass,
what I know is that I am a Christian. And he told me other

muchísimas desatenciones. Y todo me lo decía con un modo muy
malo y con muchos ademanes de manos quey con voz bastante alta
cuando yo le hablaba con voz baja, y sin ademanes, y me dijo otras
muchísimas cosas descompuestas que no es fácil el poder me acordar
de todas ellas. Sólo sí digo que todas eran provocativas a
que un hombre se calentara, y le diera algún golpe bien dado.
Pero aunque yo lo diga me armé bien de paciencia porque más parecían
sayones que cristianos según sus operaciones. Y después
me dijo una cosa que me hizo calentar, que me baje del caballo
a darle satisfacción a su letraduría. Y sólo llevaba yo en las
manos un bejuquillo blanco delgadito de aquellos de la costa
y mi criado se apeó de su caballo para tener asido de las riendas
el mío por ser algo arisco. Y después que yo acabé de darle
satisfacción a sus letradurías le dije: "anda letradillo." Y con
el bejuquillo que tenía yo en mi mano y asido por la mitad
le di un al revés, y al instante hizo un medio [compás] para atrás e
iba a desenvainar su alfanje para darme. Y viendo mi
criado está acción, largó el caballo y se arrojó a él a quitarle
el alfanje con que me quería dar, y aún no se había arrojado
cuando dijo el Juez Santiago, (que parece era la seña) y comienzan a
llover garrote y machetes sobre el muchacho. Y todos éramos a
meter paz y pedirles el que se soportaran. Yo se lo pedía por amor de
Dios. "¿Cómo hacían eso cuando nosotros no les íbamos a hacer ningún
daño?." Yo les dije: "ah, hijos, mirad que yo soy vuestro ministro y vuestro padre,"
y otras muchas cosas que le decía, pero nada me valió sino

many negligent things. And everything he said with a mean
demeanor and with hand gestures and with a loud voice,
even when I was speaking in a low voice and without gestures. And he told me
many other upsetting things; I cannot easily remember
them all. I will only say that they were provocative to the extent
that it would cause a man to become hotheaded and give him a punch.
Even though I say this, I armed myself with patience because they looked like
hangmen and not Christians, given their behavior. And he later
told me something that made me so hotheaded that I came down my horse
to respond to his "well-versed poetry. " And I only carried in my
hand a small stalk, white and thin, one of those found on the coast
and my young servant got off from his horse to hold the reins
of mine because it was somewhat upset. And after I finished
letting him know my appreciation for his "poetry," I said to him, "go forth poet." And
with the stalk that I had in my hand and grabbing half of it
I swat him and, immediately, he took a half-step backwards and was going to
take out his scimitar to strike me with it. And when my young servant
saw this, he let go of the horse and tried to tackle him to get him away from
the scimitar which with he was trying to hit me. And he had not managed to tackle him
when Judge Santiago said something (as a sign) and they began to
hit the young servant with cudgels and machetes. And we all tried
to ask for peace and understanding. I asked for this in the name of
God. "Why were they doing this when we did not want to harm them
at all? I told them, "Ah, sons, understand that I am your minister and your "father"
and other many things, but it was unsuccessful.

antes el oír cosas que no quisiera oírlas. Y así todo se lo [o]
a Dios, y el muchacho mi criado por fin le quitó el alfanje
de la mano, y al quitárselo como el indio hacía fuerza [de]
soltarlo, se cortó el mismo con su mismo alfanje de la [mano]
un poco de la banda de adentro. Y, ya viéndose sin alfanje
otro de sus compañeros, le dio otro alfanje, y lo jugaba muy [bien]
no obstante de tener su mano lastimada. Y mi criado [se retiró]
dos pasos atrás defendiéndose de tanto garrote y alfanje [como]
llovían sobre él, y al retirarse para atrás se [enredó]
rodaja de la espuela en la rienda de mi caballo, y [cayó]de bruzas
porque el caballo tiró un [gelon] para atrás, y [entonces]
le rompieron la cabeza de un palo. Y un brazo se lo maltrataron
muy bien cómo se puede ver por esa certificación de
cirujano que le curó. Y si uno no llega y corta la [rienda de]
mi caballo paraque no se hubiera levantado. Y lo hubieran [ acabado]
de matar. Y yo con mi mano derecha cogí la rienda de mi [caballo]
para que no se me fuera porque estaba muy alborotado. Y yo [tuviera que]
pedirles el que se apaciguaran con la mano izquierda [que]
me servía como de broquel cuando les hablaba, cuando se [arrimó]
el hijo del Capitán Pablo, y me tiró un palo a la mano que
la dejó sin poderla menear por entonces. Y cuando yo [volví la cara]
vi que el Hermano Fray Diego, y sus vaqueros, y mi [muchacho]

Instead, I had to hear things that I did not want to hear. And so everything [
] to God, and the young man, my servant, finally took the scimitar away
from his hand. And while he was trying to take it away he got a cut on the side
of his hand with his own scimitar, because the Indio was resisting with
force. And, realizing that he did not have his scimitar
another one of his partners gave him another scimitar. And he was handling it well
even though he had his hand injured. And my servant retreated
two steps to defend himself from the strikes of cudgels and the scimitars, which
were raining on him. And when he stepped back, the wheel of
his spur got entangled in the reins of my horse and he fell rapidly
because the horse went back and then
they broke his head at once. And one hand was greatly
injured as it can be seen in the certification of the
surgeon who cured him. And I did not cut the [reins of] my horse
he would not have been able to get up. And they would have finished
killing him. And I used my right hand to take the reins of my [horse]
because he was going to run away due to his agitation. And
I had to use my left hand as a shield (while I was speaking), and the son of
Captain Pablo came to me and struck my hand in such
a way that it was immobilized. And when I turned around,
I saw Brother Fray Diego and his cowhands, and my young servant
running away on their horses. And the majority of the people were running
behind them. I stayed there with my chief assistant and the boy
who carried the cushions. And because I was unable to ride my horse

{Al margen izquierdo: mi fiscal pasado}
me ayudó a poner a caballo y juntamente con el teniente pasado que
estaba allí por ser de Dongalo, pero no se metió jamás en
bueno, ni en malo. También el segundo mayor que se hallaba también
allí, y ellos fueron los que me amarraron un paño en
la mano porque no me entraba frío en ella. Y me parece que
si a esos dos los llamaren, y debajo del juramento les preguntaren
lo que pasó, dirán la verdad por ser indios bien intencionados.
Y después que la mayor parte de la gente se había ido tras
del Hermano Fray Diego, y el juez mayor se había quedado allí con
[cha]otra parte de gente que vino se meneaban a cosa alguna.
Y le dije al juez mayor: "mira, Dios [ha] cuidado contigo pues ha sido
la causa de todo esto, y que a mí siendo tu ministro y tu
padre me han lastimado de esta suerte siendo siempre mi ánimo
el no haceros ningún mal, sino antes mucho bien.
Y si yo no fuera sacerdote y tuviera un alfanje en las
manos no había de haber quien a mí se me hace arrimara
porque antes que me llegaran al pelo de la ropa había se de caer
una media docena. Pero soy padre y así no puedo hacer
nada de eso y más cuando mi intención siempre ha sido
buena, y vine solamente porque no hubiera ninguna cosa
por ser vuestro ministro. Porque juzgué estando yo delante ninguno
se había de propasar, a lo que se propasaron." Estando ya

[On the left margin: my former chief assistant]
helped me ride the horse [and] with the former lieutenant [chief assistant] who was
there because he is from Dongalo. But he did not get involved at all, for
better or for worse. And the second assistant was also
there. And they are the ones who tied my hand with a piece of cloth
because I could not manage to cool it down. And I think that
if these two were called and asked to speak about what happened under oath,
they will say the truth because they are well meaning Indios.
And after the majority of the people went after
Brother Fray Diego, the judge of the Indios stayed there with
other people who came and were planning something.
And I said to the judge of the Indios, "Look, God will take care of you, because you
are the cause of all this, and being your minister and your
father you have hurt me in this way, even though it has always been my intention
not to do any harm but only a lot of good.
And if I were not a priest and I had a scimitar in my
hands, there would not be anyone who could come close to me,
because even before anyone could touch a single thread on my clothes I would
vanquish half a dozen [of them] at once. But I am a father and, hence, I cannot do
any of this and, especially, when my intention has always been
good. And I came only because I did not want anything to happen,
because I am your minister. Because I assumed that if I were here, nobody
would dare to overstep their bounds, but you all overstepped your bounds." Once we
were ready to return, [with] my assistant and my young servant,
Captain Pablo arrived with all the people who had accompanied him in
chasing Brother Fray Diego. Captain Pablo first hit

Año de 1640—Información sobre el milagro que Nuestra Señora de Caysasay usó con Juan Ynbin, sangley cristiano.

Page 5 of 110
 
Original Translated

[al margen izquierdo] Comisión al maestro Joseph Cabral para la averiguación del milagro.
Nos, D. Fray Hernando Guerrero, por la gracia de Dios y de la
Santa Sede Apostólica, Arzobispo Metropolitano de estas islas Filipinas, del
Consejo de Su Majestad. Por cuanto ha llegado a nuestras manos un testimonio signado
y firmado de Alonso Márquez, escribano público de la provincia de Balayan,
término de nuestra diócesis, por do consta que una imagen de Nuestra Señora
la Virgen María, Reina de los Ángeles, que está en la iglesia de
Casaysay, visita del priorato de Taal, ha hecho un milagro con un sangley
cristiano llamado Juan Ynbin, cantero, que en aquella sazón ayudaba a la
fábrica de aquella iglesia; al cual prendieron con otros sangleyes y echa-
ron por muerto los ejecutores, con ocasión de este alzamiento general que han
hecho los de Calamba, parián de esta ciudad y los de Santa Cruz. Y le die-
ron grandes heridas penetrantes de modo que lo dejaron por muerto. Y pare-
ce que el dicho Juan Ynbin se había próximamente confesado con el padre predi-
cador fray Alonso Rodríguez, prior del dicho convento de Taal, y encomen-
dándose a la dicha imagen para que le librase de la muerte. No obstante que
por el dicho testimonio consta tener cuatro heridas penetrantes, que por cualquie-
ra de ellas naturalmente eran de muerte, teniendo todos los nervios prin-
cipales del pescuezo cortados a machetazos, y con dos lanzadas en el cuerpo,
en la tetilla derecha. Y [consta] haber estado tres días naturales sin comer ni
beber, ni recibido cura alguna, y haber estado en el agua y a las inclemen-
cias del cielo. Y dicho y declarado el dicho Juan Ynbin habérsele aparecido
la dicha imagen, y sacádole de la mar donde se halló la primera vez
que le socorrió, y después traídole a la orilla y a tierra sobre una hoja
blanca. Y cuando le iba trayendo se apartaban y huían caimanes y otros
peces espantosos con la vista de la dicha imagen. Y habiéndole traído a
tierra, le mandó se volviese a proseguir con su obra. Y diciéndole no saber
el camino para ir a Casaysay, donde se fabricaba su iglesia, le mostró
el camino y le pasó de un río sin mojarse. De modo que caminando lle-
gó al dicho lugar y estuvo en una bóveda de la dicha iglesia. Y por el dicho testigo
consta que con ser las dichas heridas tan grandes y penetrantes, no tener
olor ni estar hinchadas, como naturalmente lo suelen estar pasando vein-
ticuatro horas, especialmente las que se mojan, que todo lo susodicho son efectos
que sin particular milagro y ayuda de tan gran Señora no podía suceder.

[on the left margin] Investigation of the miracle commissioned to Master Joseph Cabral
We, Don Fray Hernando Guerrero, by the grace of God and of the
Holy Apostolic See, Metropolitan Archbishop of these Philippine islands, of the Council of His Majesty. Concerning a testimony that has come to our hands, signed by Alonso Márquez, the public scribe of the province of Balayan, a part of our diocese, which says that an image of Our Lady the Virgin Mary, Queen of Angels, who is at the church of Casaysay, in the circuit of the priory of Taal, has performed a miracle with a Christian
Sangley named Juan Ynbin, a stonecutter. [He] was at the time employed to help
constructing the said church. [He] was taken with other Sangleys and
left for dead by their executors, due to the general uprising [of Sangleys]
in Calamba, the parián of this city, and in Santa Cruz. They [the soldiers] gave him [Ynbin]
great and penetrating wounds in such a way that they left him for dead. And it
looks like the said Juan Ynbin, had just given confession with the father priest
Fray Alonso Rodríguez, the prior of the said convent of Taal, and entrusting
himself to the said image so that she would release him from his death [sentence]. The
testimony reveals that he had four deep wounds. Each one is such that could single-handedly cause one's death. All his main nerves on his neck were cut with machete blows and his body was speared in his right breast. And [it was stated that he] stayed for three days without food or
drink, without receiving any aid at all, and was in the water and [suffered] all the kinds of inclemencies from above. And the said Juan Ynbin said and declared that
the said image appeared to him. [She] took him out of the sea where he was the first time
she came to his aid. And brought him to the shore and to dry land on top of a white leaf.
And as she dragged him, [he saw] that caimans and other terrifying fish ran away from the said image. And having brought him
to land, she commanded him to continue working on his [church] project. And when he told her that she did not know the way to go to Casaysay, where her church was being constructed, she showed him the way, helping him overpass a river without getting wet. In this way, he walked
until he reached the said place and stayed in the vault of the church. And the said witness states that the said wounds are so large and penetrating--without any smell or swelling, which generally is expected about twenty-four hours and especially if they get wet--and everything said are the effects of things that could not happen without a specific miracle and aid provided by such a great Lady.

[al margen izquierdo] Declaración de Juan Ynbin, sangley cristiano.
En el pueblo de Casaysay, en dieciocho días del mes de ene-

beneficiado del partido de Balayan y vicario foráneo en esta provincia
de Balayan, y juez de comisión para la averiguación del milagro de Nuestra

arzobispo metropolitano de estas islas y del Consejo de Su Majestad, hizo parecer ante
su merced a Juan Ynbin, sangley cristiano que a la sazón está en este dicho pueblo
de Casaysay, para tomarle su declaración en razón de dicho milagro.
Y estando presente el susodicho se le fue recibido juramento en forma de derecho
por Dios Nuestro Señor y la señal de la cruz, mediante Agustín Sico, sangley
cristiano, intérprete nombrado para dicho efecto. Y habiéndolo hecho prometió de
decir verdad, y dijo que lo que pasa en razón de lo que sabe y le su-
cedió es que habrá tres años poco más o menos que ha estado y [ha] asistido en este
dicho pueblo de Casaysay, haciendo oficio de cantero en la fábrica de la iglesia
de piedra de Nuestra Señora de Casaysay, y en las bóvedas que se hicieron asimis-
mo sobre el agua que llaman Santa, que están cerca de la dicha iglesia.
Y que estando actualmente cortando piedra para hacer un pretil o cerca
en el patio de la casa y espaldas de la dicha iglesia, una noche, estando en
su casa durmiendo le despertaron y llamaron. Y luego le prendió don Juan
de Cabrera, castellano de la Fuerza de Bonbon, atándole las manos. Y le llevó a este
declarante con los demás sangleyes que en este dicho pueblo había a la dicha
Fuerza de Bonbon, donde luego que llegó le pusieron una trompa al pescue-
zo, amarradas las manos como de antes, y le tuvieron en aquellas prisiones
hasta que el día siguiente, a las cinco de la tarde poco más o menos, llegó
el alcalde mayor de esta provincia de Balayan, y le dijo a este declaran-
te y a los demás sangleyes que con él estaban presos que, los cristianos se con-
fesasen y los infieles si quisiesen ser cristianos se bautizasen; que para eso
estaba allí el padre prior de Taal, porque todos habían de morir luego al punto.
Porque tenía orden del señor gobernador de estas islas para matarlos por el al-
zamiento general de los sangleyes. Y así este declarante se confesó con el
dicho prior de Taal fray Alonso Rodríguez, y se encomendó muy de veras
a Nuestra Señora la Virgen María de Casaysay pidiéndole le librase de la
muerte, pues le había servido tanto tiempo en su iglesia. Y que le sacaron
de la dicha Fuerza con la dicha trompa al pescuezo, y atadas las manos, y le
llevaron a la playa frontero y a vista de dicha Fuerza, que fue el lugar

[On the left margin] Juan Inbin's declaration, Christian Sangley
In the town of Casaysay, on the eighteenth of January
of the year sixteen forty, Master Joseph Cabral, priest
in charge of the district of Balayan and Advisory Vicar of this province
of Balayan, and commissioned judge for the investigation of the miracle of Our
Lady of Casaysay by the Illustrious Don Fray Hernando Guerrero,
metropolitan archbishop of these islands and the Council of His Majesty, ordered Juan Ynbin, Christian Sangley, who is currently in this town,
of Casaysay, appear before His Mercy, in order to take his declaration about the said miracle.
And being the named above present, he gave the proper oath
in the name of God Our Lord and the sign of the cross, with Agustín Sico's intervention,
who is a Christian Sangley, [and] the named translator for the given task. And having made it, he promised
to say the truth, and said the account of what he knows and what
happened to him. About three years ago, more or less, he has been serving in
the said town of Casaysay, in the office of stonecutter in the construction of the
stone church of Our Lady of Casaysay, and in the vault that were made likewise
on the [spring of] water, that they call Holy, which is near the said church.
And while he was actually cutting stone to make a fence
in the courtyard of the main building and in the back of the said church, one night,
he was awakened and called while he was sleeping. And then he was capture by Don Juan
de Cabrera, Castilian of the Fort of Bonbon, who tied his hands. And he took this
witness with the rest of the Sangleys who were in the said town to the
Fort of Bonbon, where they later placed a brace on his
neck and with his hands tied, as said before, had him in those prisons
until the next day. At five in the afternoon more or less,
the principal mayor arrived in this province of Balayan, and told his
witness and the other Sangleys with whom he was captured that the Christians
should make confession and the ones who were
heathens [and] wanted to become Christians could be baptized. And that for that end,
the Father Prior of Taal was there. Because they were all going to die later when the time came
because they had the order from the Señor Governor of these islands that they should be killed due to the
uprising of the Sangleys. And so this witness made confession with the
said Priest Prior of Taal, Fray Alonso Rodríguez, and he entrusted himself truthfully
to Our Lady the Virgin Mary of Casaysay, asking her to free him from
death, because he had served her for so long in her church. And [he said] that they took him out
from the said fort, with his neck brace and with his tied hands and they
took him to the shore that was in front of the said fort, which is where

pueblo de Taal, cuando a él lo trajeron herido. Y tiene noticia del
milagro que con él usó Nuestra Señora de Casaysay, y esto responde.
-A la segunda pregunta dijo que en virtud de orden que tuvo del señor
Gobernador y Capitán General de estas islas, para que hiciese matar y degollar a todos
los sangleyes cristianos e infieles de esta provincia. Y que en conformidad
de ella mandó a D. Juan de Cabrera, castellano de la Fuerza de Bonbon
prendiese todos los sangleyes que hallase en este dicho pueblo y los llevase
a la dicha Fuerza de Bonbon, y en ella los tuviese presos a buen recaudo,
y esto responde.
-A la tercera pregunta dijo que habiendo llegado a la dicha fuerza a las
cinco horas de la tarde poco más o menos, que se contaron siete
del mes de diciembre del año pasado de [mil] seiscientos treinta
nueve, pidió al padre predicador fray Alonso Rodríguez, prior de este
partido de Taal que a la sazón estaba en dicha fuerza, confesase
a los sangleyes cristianos y exhortase a los infieles se volviesen cristianos,
porque luego habían de morir todos. Y así, después de confesados
y bautizados algunos infieles, los sacaron de la dicha Fuerza
de dos en dos, amarradas las manos y con trompas al pescuezo y los lle-
varon al lugar donde los mataron, que sería un tiro de arcabuz
de dicha Fuerza, y esto responde.

Ynbin, pero le tiene por uno de ellos; y que a todos les iban dan-

[on the left margin] Testimony of Captain Diego Maldonado Bonal, principal mayor.
In the town of Casaysay, on the 1640-01-18|eighteenth day of the month of January
of the year sixteen forty]], Master Cabral, the priest in charge
of the district of Balayan and the advisory vicar of this province
of Balayan, and commissioned judge for the investigation of the
miracle of Our Lady of Casaysay, called Captain Diego Maldonado
Bonal, principal mayor and the captain of war of this province of Balayan,
who gave the proper oath in the name of God Our Lord
and the sign of the cross. And after swearing to tell the truth,
and after he was asked the substance of the interrogatory, he said the following:
-To the first question, he said that he knows Juan Inbin, Christian Sangley
for about a month to a month and a half, which is when he saw him in the
town of Taal. [This is] when they brought him wounded, and this he responds.
-To the second question, he said that according to the order that was given by the Lord
Governor and General Captain of these islands, to kill and slit the throats of all
Sangleys, Christians and heathens, in this province. And [he said,] that following this order
Don Juan de Cabrera, Castilian of the Fort of Bonbon, ordered that
all the Sangleys in the said town be captured and taken
to the said Fort of Bonbon where they were to be securely held,
and this he responds.
-To the third question, he said that having arrived to the said fort at
five in the afternoon, more or less, on the seventh
day of the month of December of the past year of seventeen thirty
nine, he asked the priest Fray Alonso Rodríguez, prior of this
district of Taal where the fort was located, to give confession
to the Christian Sangleys and to urge the heathens to turn Christians,
because they were all going to die. And so, after confessing
and baptizing some of the heathens, they took them out of the said fort,
two by two, with their tied hands and with neck braces, and they
took them to the place where they were killed, which is at about the distance of
an harquebus from the fort; and this he responds.
-To the fourth question, he said that he did not recognized Juan
Ynbin [among the dead], but that he believes he was one of them. And [he said] that they were all struck
by the Indios who were there. [They were struck] separately, on the necks

tes que tenían en las manos por el pescuezo. Y que unos se
hincaban de rodillas para que los matasen, y que el que les pa-
recía a los indios no quedaba del todo muerto con los machetazos, les
daban otros indios de lanzadas hasta que los dejaban por muer-
tos. Y que este testigo para más satisfacerse y cumplir con el tenor
de dicha orden, fue al dicho puesto y los halló a todos tendidos, que a
su parecer estaban del todo muertos. El número de todos [que] era[n]
veintinueve, que fue el mismo que halló vivos cuando sa-
lieron de la dicha Fuerza; y esto responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo este testigo que no los vio embarcar en las bancas, pero mandó [e]l dicho castellano los embarcara en bancas y con
las mismas trompas los echasen en lo profundo del mar, y fuera
de la barra del río de Bonbon; y esto responde.
-A la sexta pregunta, dijo que le parece a este testigo que hay de distancia
de donde mandó echar los dichos sangleyes al agua, por tierra, hasta este
pueblo de Casaysay donde ha oído fue hallado el dicho Juan Yn-
bin, cuarto y medio de legua; y por el agua, un cuarto de dicha
legua. Y le parece a este testigo que el dicho Juan Ynbin, con las
heridas penetrantes que este testigo le vio: porque las dos del pescuezo
tenía los nervios principales cortados, que de arriba y de abajo
se veían los nervios como colmillos, y el hueso lastimado como
partido. Porque eran ambas anchas las heridas, y en par-
ticular la una de ellas, y las otras dos que tenía encima de
la tetilla y costado derecho las tiene por tan milagrosas, respecto de
parecerle a este testigo entraban en el cárcavo, y que sin par-
ticular auxilio de Dios Nuestro Señor y de su bendita madre, no podía
naturalmente vivir; y esto responde.
-A la séptima pregunta dijo que el tiempo que hubo desde que mata-
ron a los dichos sangleyes, y hasta que fue traído al pueblo de Taal
hubo cuatro días; y esto responde.
-A la octava pregunta dijo que se remite a lo que tiene declarado
en la sexta de este dicho. Y que en cuanto a las heridas no

with the machetes that they were holding. And some [Sangleys]
knelt down to be killed, and if the Indios felt that
there was any one who was not fully dead from the machete blows, they had
other indios spear them until they were
dead. And this witness, in order to be more fully satisfied and fulfill the content
of the said order, went to the said location and found all of them lying down. Because
he thought that they were all dead. The number of them was
twenty nine, the same number of the ones that were alive when they
left the fort; and this he responds.
-To the fifth question, this witness says that he did not see them embark in the bangkas,
but the said Castilian ordered them to embark them in bangkas and with
the neck braces to throw them in the depth of the sea, and far
the shore of the Bonbon river; and this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, this witness said that he thinks that the distance
between the place where the Sangleys were thrown into the water and
the town of Casaysay where he was told Juan Ynbin was found is by land
a fourth and a half of a league; and by water a fourth of a
league. And this witness thinks that the said Juan Ynbin, whose
deep wounds this witness saw--because the two on his neck showed
to have his main nerves cut, because from the top and bottom
one could see that the nerves looked like canine teeth, and the wounded bone was
split. Because both [wounds] were wide and one, in particular, and he thinks
that the other two that he had on top of the right breast and side were miraculous
because this witness thought that they reached the bottom of his belly--and could
not be naturally alive without the special help of God Our Lord and his blessed mother; and this is what he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that the length of time that passed from the
killing of the said Sangleys until he was brought to the town of Taal
there was a period of four days; and this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that he stands by what he declared
in the sixth [question] of this declaration. And that in terms of the wounds

de Cabrera y de otros indios prendieron una noche al dicho Juan
Ynbin en este pueblo de Casaysay y a los demás sangleyes que en él
estaban. Y a todos juntos los llevaron amarradas las manos a la dicha
Fuerza, lo cual ejecutó el dicho castellano por habérselo así man-
dado el alcalde mayor de esta dicha provincia de Balayan; y esto responde.
-A la tercera pregunta, dijo que llegando a la dicha fuerza el dicho castella-
no con el dicho Juan Ynbin y los demás sus compañeros, les pusieron a cada
uno una trompa al pescuezo, amarradas las manos; y de la dicha
Fuerza los iban sacando de dos en dos al lugar donde los iban ma-
tando, que es un tiro de arcabuz de la dicha fuerza; y esto responde.

de la dicha Fuerza los había nombrado el castellano de ella para que
estuviesen fuera de la dicha Fuerza y en el lugar que habían de

Cabral, the priest in charge of the district of Balayan and the commissioned judge
for the investigation of the miracle of Our Lady of Casaysay, requested that
an Indio appear before him with the intersession of Thomás Dimaligalig,

of Taal and at the time a soldier in the fort of Bonbon. [He]
gave the proper oath in the name of God Our Lord and with the sign
of the cross. And having done this, he promised to say the truth. And being asked the content of the interrogation, he said the following:
-To the first question, he said that he knows Juan Ynbing [sic], Christian Sangley,
stonecutter, since about eight months ago, in these parts, because he saw him working in his job in
the said fort and in the church and santuary in this town of Casaysay.
And he has heard of the miracle that Our Lady performed for him, and during
the said time he has known Juan Ynbin, he has held him and
holds him as a man of good life and customs; and this is what he responds.
-To the second question, this witness says, that in the company of Don Juan
de Cabrera and other Indios, on one night they captured the said Juan
Ynbin in this town of Casaysay and the other Sangleys who were
there. And they were all taking with their hands tied to the said
fort, which was executed by the said Castilian, as it was
ordered to him by the principal mayor of the said province of Balayan;
and this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that, having come to the said fort, the said
Castilian, with the said Juan Ynbin and his other fellows, put on each
one a neck brace, tied their hands; and at the said
fort they took them two by two to the place where they
killed them. [This place] is at the distance of an arquebus shot from the said fort; and this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, this witness said that he and the other Indio soldiers
of the said fort were chosen by the Castilian to
leave the fort and be at the place where they were to
kill the said Sangleys. And this witness was given the task to kill the said

las vio este testigo que se las curaban en el pueblo de Taal, las cuales
eran cuatro penetrantes; y que sólo con una de ellas le parece
a este testigo naturalmente no poder vivir ni caminar poco ni mu-
cho, ni menos venir a parar a tan gran trecho donde fue halla-
do sin particular ayuda de Dios Nuestro Señor, por intercesión
de su bendita madre; y esto responde.
-A la séptima pregunta, dijo que un miércoles en la tarde
echó a la mar este testigo y otro compañero suyo llamado Diego Mospa-
tag, soldado de la dicha fuerza al dicho Juan Ynbin. Y el domin-
go siguiente oyó decir habían hallado aquella noche antes al
dicho Juan Ynbin en las dichas bóvedas y fuente santa
de este pueblo de Casaysay; y esto responde.
-A la octava pregunta, dijo que vio, como dicho tiene, las cuatro he-
ridas que tiene en su cuerpo el dicho Juan Ynbin cuando le cura-
ban en el dicho pueblo de Taal, y que eran penetrantes y mor-
tales. Y las del pescuezo tenían cortados los nervios principales,
y que no estaban hinchadas ni de mal olor, pero tenían muchos
gusanos gordos; y esto responde.
-A la novena pregunta, dijo que ha visto al dicho Juan Ynbin
en el pueblo de Taal y en este de Casaysay andar por sus pies
y sin que nadie le ayude y sin bordón ni otra cosa. Y le pa-
rece a este testigo está el dicho Juan Ynbin fuera de todo ries-
go de dichas heridas; y esto responde.
-A la décima pregunta, dijo que ha oído decir a muchas personas
que después que mataron al dicho Juan Ynbin hasta que le
hallaron vieron en las dichas bóvedas, encima de ellas, dos luces res-
plandecientes de noche y a deshoras, y que esto fue algunas
veces; y esto responde.

this witness saw them, when they were being healed in the town of Taal. [There were]
four that were very deep. And it seemed to this witness that
with [the injury] of just one of them, one would not be able to be alive or walk,
and much less make it all the way to the place where he was
found, unless it were with the special help from God Our Lord, and by the intercession
of his blessed mother; and this he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that it was a Wednesday in the afternoon
when he and his partner named Diego Mospatag, soldier of the said fort,
threw this witness into the sea, and on following
Sunday he heard that they had found the night before
the said Juan Ynbin in the said vault and spring of holy water
in this town of Casaysay; and this he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that he saw, as he said, the four
wounds that he has on his body the said Juan Ynbin when they were
healing them in the said town of Taal, and that they were deep and
mortal. And on his neck he had his main nerves cut off,
and that they were not swollen and did not have a bad odor, but had a lot of
fat worms; and this is what he responds.
-To the ninth question, he said that he saw the said Juan Ynbin
in the town of Taal and in this one of Casaysay walk on his feel
and without anyone who could help him and without anything like a staff. And it
seems to this witness that the said Juan Ynbin is not in
danger from his wounds; and this is what he responds.
-To the tenth question, he said that he has heard a lot of people say
that from the time after they killed the said Juan Ynbin until the time
they found him, they saw above the vault two lights that were
resplendent at night and at odd times, and this happened sometimes;
and this is what he responds.

y que el dicho alcalde mayor los iba contando, este testigo estaba ya prevenido
con otros por orden del dicho castellano para embarcar en dos
bancas que allí estaban prevenidas a los dichos sangleyes muertos y desangra-
dos [al margen izquierdo: ojo] y así entre los que a este testigo y su compañero tocó embarcar en su
banca fue uno de ellos al dicho Juan Ynbin que conoció. Y así entre
ambos, uno por los pies y otro por la trompa, los iban atravesando
en la dicha banca hasta que en ella cupieron los que podía llevar la dicha
banca. Y la de este testigo en que llevó al dicho Juan Ynbin era pequeña, y
así no pudo caber más del cuerpo del dicho Juan Ynbin y el de otro
sangley. Y bogando así a la mar y fuera de la barra y boca del río
de Bonbon, este testigo y el dicho su compañero los arrojaron a ambos dos
a la mar, al parecer de este testigo en más de quince brazas de fondo, en ocasión
que la marea y viento era contrario para tierra, en que era fuerza los
metiese el dicho viento y marea muy afuera de la parte y lugar do este
testigo había echado al agua al dicho Juan Ynbin; el cual a vista
de este dicho testigo, luego que lo arrojó a la dicha mar, se fue a pique como
si fuera una piedra. Y lo mismo pasó con el otro sangley difunto,
y no los vieron más; y esto responde.
-A la sexta pregunta, dijo que le parece a este testigo que hay de distrito de donde
echó a la mar al dicho Juan Ynbin hasta donde fue hallado en las bóve-
das y fuente de Casaysay, habiendo de venir una persona a su paso ordinario,
por tierra tardará una hora; y por el río algo menos. Y que con
las heridas que tenía el dicho Juan Ynbin en su cuerpo, las cuales
le vio este testigo curar en el pueblo de Taal, porque antes no las había visto
ni cuando lo echó a la mar, porque lo embarcó bocarriba y de noche
y no reparó en las heridas que tenía el dicho Juan Ynbin y los demás
sangleyes; y que como dicho tiene, viendo curarle las dichas heridas
tan penetrantes y mortales, que le parece a este testigo que con sola
una de ellas bastaba a quitarle la vida, era imposible poder
vivir naturalmente ni ir al paraje do fue hallado sin par-
ticular auxilio de Dios Nuestro Señor, por intercesión de su pre-

and whom the said principal mayor was counting, this witness already knew
as did the others that by the order of the said Castilian, they had to load in two
bangkas that were there the dead and bleeding Sangleys.
[On the left margin: Be careful] And among the ones that this witness and his partner had to load in their
bangka was the said Juan Ynbin, whom he recognized. And between
the two, one taking him by the feet and the other by his neck brace, they would place them
in the said bangka until they could fit as many as they could [in the said
bangka]. And the one in which this witness put the said Juan Ynbin was small, and
so he could not fit in it nobody else other than the said Juan Ynbin and [the body] of another
Sangley. And rowing to the sea and away from the shore and mouth of the River
Bonbon, this witness and the said partner, threw the two [Sangleys]
to the sea, which according to this witness, had more than fifteen fathoms in depth.
At that point, the tides and winds were going against the shore, which forcefully
put them in the said winds and tides very far away from the part and place where this
witness threw Juan Ynbin into the water. When the witness saw him after he threw him into the said sea, he [saw] that he sank, as if
he were a piece of stone. And the same thing happened with the other deceased Sangley,
and they did not see them anymore; and this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, he said that he thinks that from the district where
they threw Juan Ynbin into the sea up to the place where he was found in the
vault and the spring of Casaysay, a person walking at a normal pace would
take by land about one hour; and by river a little bit less. And [he said] that with the
woulds that the said Juan Ynbin had on his body, which this witness saw
when they were healing them in the town of Taal (because he had not seen them before
when they threw him into the sea, because they loaded him face-up and at night
and did not pay attention to the wounds that the said Juan Ynbin had and the other
Sangleys), and as he said, he saw the wounds when they were healing them and they
were very deep and mortal. And this witness thinks that with only one of
them a person could die, and that it was impossible that he could
live naturally or walk to the resting place where he was found without
special assistance from God Our Lord, by the intersession of his

In the town of Casaysay, on the nineteenth of the month
of January of the year sixteen forty, Master Joseph
Cabral, the priest in charge of the district of Balayan and the commissioned judge
for the investigation of the miracle of Our Lady of Casaysay, requested that
an Indio appear before him with the intervention of Thomas Dimaligalig,
the translator. He said his name was Juan Masongcal and was a native of the town
of Balangon, a visita of Taal, and at the present time, a soldier at the
fort of Bonbon. He gave the proper oath in the name of
God Our Lord and the sign of the cross. And having done this
he promised to tell the truth. And to the questions they asked in this
interrogation, he said the following:
-To the first question, he said that he knows Juan Ynbin, a Christian
Sangley, a stonecutter, who he has seen work in this area for about eight months
in the fort of Bonbon and in the church of Our
Lady of Casaysay in this town, exercising his job as a stonecutter. And he has heard of
the miracle that the Virgin Our Lady of Casaysay has performed for him.
And in the time that he has said and he has known the said Juan Ynbin,
he has known him as a man of a good life and customs. And this is what he responds.
-To the second question, he said that the main mayor of this province of
Balayan, Don Juan de Cabrera, the Castilian of the fort
of Bonbon, ordered him to capture all the Sangleys, Christians and heathens in this
town of Casaysay and others who were in the nearby area. And among
the Indio soldiers who the said Castilian took with him for the said
effect was this witness one of them. And so they arrived in this town and caught
in it the said Juan Ynbin and all the other Sangleys who were there.
And with their hands tied, they took them to the fort of Bonbon. And this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that having been captured the said Juan Ynbin
and the other Sangleys in the said fort of Bonbon, each one with a
neck brace and his hands tied, this witness came out of the said
fort in order to start killing the said Sangleys in the place that was indicated,

do derecho asimismo eran mortales, y todas cuatro estaban sin hinchazón,
mal olor, pero tenían gusanos; y esto responde.
-A la novena pregunta, dijo que ha visto al dicho Juan Ynbin muchas ve-

And this is what he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that when they killed the said Juan Ynbin
and the other Sangleys, it was a Wednesday night. And on the following Sunday in the
morning, he heard this witness say that they had found and seen the previous night
the said Juan Ynbin in the vault and the holy water of this town of
Casaysay. And this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that, as he said, he saw how they cured his four
wounds that the said Juan Ynbin had on his body and the two that he had
in his brain. One was larger than the other, both deadly because
the nerves were cut and visible. And all four were not swollen,
did not have a bad smell, but they had worms. And this is what he responds.
-To the ninth question, he said that he saw the said Juan Ynbin many times
walking on his own, without anyone helping him and without a staff. And that he
thinks, according the above said and his good disposition, that he is out of
danger. And this is what he responds.

Our Lady of Casaysay in this town. And he has heard about the

Juan Ynbin in his home as well as other Sangleys. And captured and
with their tied hands, they took him to the fort of Bonbon. And this is what he responds.

the same way his peers, this witness saw that the said Juan Ynbin
gave confession to the father priest friar Alonso Rodríguez, the prior of this district
of Taal. And the other Christian Sangleys, and some

for about a month and a half in these parts. And he has had news of the miracle
that Our Lady of Casaysay performed with the said Juan Ynbin, of
whom this witness has heard that he leads a good life and customs. And this is what he responds.
-To the second question, he said that he has heard that due to the general
uprising of the Sangleys, the main mayor of this province in Balayan gave the

province and to kill them. And [he said] that among them there was the said Juan

Ynbin was killed, but he has heard that after he was captured and his hands were tied

was more than fifteen fathoms. [He had] his hands tied and with the same

estaban nombrados para ejecutar y matar los dichos sangleyes, le dio con
un machete grande un machetazo en el pescuezo con que cayó en tie-
rra, y consiguientemente le dio otro machetazo en el mismo pescuezo, que
sólo al dicho Juan Ynbin notó este testigo dieron dos machetazos y no a otro
alguno de veintinueve sangleyes que en aquel lugar con él murie-
ron. Y acabados de dar los machetazos vio este testigo que el mismo in-
dio que se los dio, le tiró una estocada de punta con el mismo mache-
te que le había dado en el pescuezo, y le dio en un lado del pe-
cho. Y luego incontinente llegó otro indio con una lanza
en las manos y le dio con ella una lanzada; y esto responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo que después de muertos todos los dichos sangleyes los mandó
contar en presencia de este testigo el capitán Diego Maldonado Bonal, alcalde mayor
de esta provincia, que juntamente estaba en compañía de este testigo en el caballero de dicha fuerza, y se halló haber veintinueve sangleyes, que es el mismo número
que dentro de dicha fuerza. Asimismo, en presencia de este testigo se habían con-
tado, y este testigo les dijo un responso como a hombres ya muertos. Y luego
mandó el dicho alcalde mayor don Juan de Cabrera, castellano de dicha fuer-
za, los hiciese echar a la mar fuera de la barra. Y en presencia de este testigo
se previnieron las bancas e indios para echarlos; y que después oyó de-
cir este testigo los habían echado a todos, y entre ellos al dicho Juan
Ynbin, fuera de la barra, dentro de la mar en quince brazas de fon-
do; y esto responde.
-A la sexta pregunta, dijo que desde el lugar donde le echaron
a la mar al dicho Juan Ynbin y a los demás sangleyes, hasta las bóvedas
y fuente de este pueblo de Casaysay donde fue hallado el dicho Juan
Ynbin habrá poco menos de media legua por tierra. Y casi otro tanto
por el río; que por una y otra parte lo ha andado este testigo muchas veces,
y le parece a este testigo que según las heridas que le vio después al dicho
Juan Ynbin era imposible de toda imposibilidad, no tan solamente
poder ir por sus pies a las dichas bóvedas y agua santa donde el dicho Juan
Ynbin fue hallado, pero aún levantarse del lugar donde este testigo
le vio caer muerto sin particular auxilio de Dios Nuestro Señor. Y así este
testigo tiene el caso por milagroso; y esto responde.

ones who was assigned to execute and kill the said Sangleys, gave him a blow
with a large machete on his neck, with which he fell to the
ground. And right after, he gave him another machete blow on the same spot on his neck.
This witness noted that the only one who received two machete blows was Juan Ynbin and not another one
of the twenty nine Sangleys who were with him in that place
and died. And having finished giving him machete blows, this witness saw that the same
Indio who gave them [the machete blows] to him, took the same machete that he used to strike
his neck and with its pointed edge to strike him on the side of his
chest. And then another Indio arrived with a spear
in his hands and pierced him. And this is what he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that after the said Sangleys were all dead
Captain Diego Maldonado Bonal, the main mayor of this province, who was
ordered in front of this witness because he was in his company
in the mount of the said fort. And they counted twenty nine Sangleys, which was the same number
found inside the said fort. Likewise, in the presence of this witness they counted them
and this witness said the prayer of the dead for those who were deceased. And later,
the said mayor Don Juan de Cabrera, ordered the Castilian of the said fort
to throw them away from the sandbank. And in the presence of this witness
they prepared the bangkas and the Indios to dispatch them. And afterwards,
this witness heard that they had sent them all away, and among them, the said Juan
Ynbin, [also] away from the sandbank and at sea, where it was about fifteen
fathoms deep. And this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, he said that from the place where the said Juan Ynbin
was thrown into the sea with the other Sangleys to the vault
and water spring of this town of Casaysay, where the said Juan
Ynbin was found, there is a distance of a bit less than half a league by land. And a little bit more
by river. And this witness has taken one way and the other many times.
And this witness thinks that according to the wounds that he saw on
Juan Ynbin, it was impossible in all impossibility, not only that
he would not be able to go by himself to the said vault and holy spring where the said Juan
Ynbin was found, but that he would be able to rise on his own from the place where this witness
saw him fall dead, without particular help from God Our Lord. And so this
witness believes that his case is miraculous. And this is what he responds.

siete del mes de diciembre del año próximo pasado de [mil] seiscientos y treinta

aquella noche habían hallado en las dichas bóvedas al dicho Juan Ynbin,
mandó se lo llevasen al pueblo de Taal, para en él saber y averiguar en
la forma que había sido hallado en dichas bóvedas, y así lo hicieron.
Y llegado con el dicho sangley dicho domingo a las dos de la tarde, lo hizo
llevar a la iglesia donde bajó este testigo de su convento a verle; y era
tanto el concurso de gente que halló con el dicho sangley, que por buen rato
no pudo llegar a verle; porque a la fama que ya se había divulgado
de que con el dicho sangley había Nuestra Señora usado este milagro se había juntado.
Y llegando este testigo al dicho Juan Ynbin le vio las dos heridas
que tenía en el cerebro, una encima de otra, y viendo que eran tan pe-
netrantes, le pareció a este testigo se había de quedar luego allí muerto, di-
ciéndole que la Virgen había sido servida de guardarle para que
se confesase bien, si acaso con la turbación el día que le mataron
se había olvidado de algunas cosas que no hubiese confesado. Y animán-
dole a que tuviera confianza en Dios Nuestro Señor y en su Bendita
Madre, que pues ella había sido servida de guardarle, le daría salud
si le conviniese para honra y gloria suya y de su Bendito Hijo. Y
tomando el pulso este testigo al dicho Juan Ynbin le halló sin ca-
lentura ni accidente alguno, con que este testigo conoció ser cosa supe-
rior y milagrosa; por cuanto a este tiempo se le espeluzaron los cabellos
como hombre que ve alguna cosa de la otra vida; con lo cual dijo
a los indios que allí lo habían traído lo llevasen en casa de don
Juan de Cabrera, castellano de la fuerza de Bonbon, para que
allí se cuidase de él, yendo este testigo en su seguimiento hasta la dicha casa.

-To the seventh question, he said that it was a Wednesday in the late afternoon, which was
on the seventh of the month of December of the year sixteen thirty
nine when they killed the said Juan Ynbin and his
mates. And it was on Saturday at night of the same week when
this witness was told that he was found in the vault and holy water spring
of the said town of Casaysay. And this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that it was on Sunday, which was on the eleventh of the said month of
December of the said past year of sixteen thirty nine, when he was
told by the Indios of this town of Casaysay how
that night they had found the said Juan Ynbin in the vault. He
ordered them to take him to the town of Taal, so that he could know and find out
in what manner he was found in the said vault. And this is what they did.
And having arrived with the said Sangley the said Sunday at two in the afternoon, he order them to take him to the church. This witness came down from the convent to see him. And there were
so many people who were found with the said Sangley, that for a long time
he could not get close to him to see him. Because it has become renown that with
the said Sangley Our Lady had performed this miracle.
And coming closer this witness to the said Juan Ynbin, he saw the two wounds
that he had in his brain, one on top of the other. And seeing that they were so
deep, this witness thought that he would fall dead there. He told
him that the Virgin was going to take care of him and that he should
make a good confession, in case that the day of his killing, with all of the upheaval,
he had forgotten some things that he did not confess. And
encouraging him to have faith in God Our Lord and in his Blessed
Mother, because she had been called to take care of him. She would give him health
if that was convenient for the honor and glory of her Blessed Child. And
taking the pulse of the said Juan Ynbin, this witness found him without
a fever or any type of convulsion, which this witness believes to be a
miraculous and supernatural thing. Because at this time, his hair was raised,
as a man who was seeing something that came from another life. He then said that
the Indios who had brought him there, took him to the house of Don
Juan de Cabrera, the Castilian of the fort of Bonbon, so that
he could be cared for there. This witness followed them until they arrived at the said
house.

-A la octava pregunta, dijo que las heridas y lanzadas que este testigo vio en el cuerpo del dicho Juan Ynbin en el pueblo de Taal fueron grandes, penetrantes y de muerte cada una de ellas, particularmente las dos del pescuezo y cerebro; porque la mayor tenía de boca un jeme de largo, cortados los nervios y huesos principales de una parte a otra, quedándole a su parecer solamente el garguero sano. Y que para sustentar la cabeza el dicho Juan Ynbin se valía de entrambas sus manos cuando se sentó para que mejor le viesen las heridas; y que la herida que estaba más arriba, sobre la nuca, era asimismo algo menos ancha que la primera, y tan penetrante como la otra, que daba miedo el verlas. Y las otras dos heridas o lanzadas que tenía el susodicho sobre la tetilla y costado derecho eran asimismo mortales. Y cada una de por sí, y en particular muy penetrante la que estaba sobre la tetilla derecha. Y que todas cuatro estaban frescas, sin hinchazón ni inflamación ni mal olor y ya quitádoles los gusanos que dicen tenían; y el sangley de tan buen semblante como si no tuviera lesión ninguna, antes reparó este testigo con particular cuidado estaba risueño y alegre el rostro y de mejor semblante que hoy tiene, y como de hombre que tiene mucha oración y trato familiar con Dios; con lo cual este testigo tuvo por evidente milagro el que había oído decir había obrado Nuestro Señor con el dicho Juan Ynbin, por intercesión de la Virgen María de Casaysay. Y asimismo tuvo por cierto le había traído la Virgen
Original Translated

This witness believes that, given the difficulties, it would [not] be naturally possible to go to the said
vault and spring without the assistance of God. And this is what he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that he heard that they killed the said Juan
Ynbin along with the other Sangleys on Wednesday afternoon, which was on the seventh
of December of the past year of sixteen thirty nine.
And on the tenth of the said month, on a Saturday night of the said year, he was found in the
said vault and sacred water. And this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that the wounds and piercings that this witness saw in the
body of the said Juan Ynbin in the town of Taal were big,
deep, and each one mortal, especially the two he had
on his neck and brain. Because the big one had an opening of half a foot,
with his main nerves and bones cut from side to side, leaving only, what
appeared to be only one part of the throat in good condition. And to be able to hold his head up
the said Juan Ynbin relied on his hands. [This is what he did] when he had to sit down so that they could
better see his wounds. And the wound in the upper area, on the back of his
neck, was likewise a bit less wide than the first one, and as deep
as the other one, which was frightening to see. And the other two wounds or piercings
that the mentioned subject has on his breast and right side were also
mortal. And each one [was mortal] and in particular the one on his right
breast, which was very deep. And all of these four [wounds] were fresh, without swelling or
inflammation or bad odor. And when removing the worms [from his wounds], the Sangley had a good expression, as if he hadn't been hurt. Rather,
this witness noticed that he was particularly cheerful and he looked contented, and with a better look than today. And as a man of a lot of
prayer and of intimacy with God. And with this, this witness had by evidence that this the
miracle that he heard about had been performed by Our Lord with the said
Juan Ynbin, by the intercession of the Virgin Mary of Casaysay. And likewise he believes
it is true that the Virgin brought him

the name of God Our Lord and the sign of the cross. And having done so, he promised
to say the truth. And having been asked the contents of this interrogatory, he said the following:
-To the first question, he said that he knows Juan Ynbin, Christian Sangley,
since our Most Holy Virgin performed a miracle for him to liberate him from
death. And he has heard that he has always been a man of good life and
customs. And this is what he responds.
-To the second question, he said that he has heard that due to the general uprising
of the Sangleys, Juan Ynbin was taken captive with the other
Sangleys of this town to the fort of Bonbon so that they would be
killed. And this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that he has heard that having been the said
Juan Ynbin captive in the said fort, with his hands tied and a brace on his neck,
in the way his mates were after he and the others confessed, they
took him out of the said fort tied up to the place where they
killed them, which they say is at a distance of the shot of an arquebus, more
or less. And this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, he said that he heard that they killed the said Juan Ynbin
with machete blows on his neck and brain, which left him dead. And this is
what he responds.

what he responds.
-To the sixth question, he said that he thinks that from the place where they
threw the said Juan Ynbin to the sea to the place where he was
found, by land, [he thinks that] it is more than half a league, and by water a
little bit less. And with all of the wounds this witness has seen in Juan Ynbin,
he is sure that it would not be possible to have arrived

Y las dos heridas o lanzadas, que la una está sobre la tetilla derecha era tan penetrante que metiendo este testigo los dedos en ella no alcanzaba. Y le fue fuerza para curarla coger un pedazo de caña y envolverle unos trapos con que hizo tienta que era de más de un jeme de largo, y entró en la dicha herida toda la tienta.

-To the eighth question, he said that he was the person who was called by the Father
Prior of this district of Taal to cure the wounds and piercings of the said Juan
Ynbin. He saw and touch them where they [the wounds] first emerged. He found them filled with worms.
And among the two that he had on his neck and brain, the first had an opening of more than half a
foot. He had the main nerves cut. He only had the area where
he could swallow intact. And in the other wound higher up, he could likewise see the nerves
cut-off. And the two wounds or piercings, one that was on top of his right breast
was so deep that he could not reach their bottom in all of his fingers inside.
And in order to cure it, he had to take a piece of cane and wrap it with some
cloths, with which he was able to reach to its bottom, which was more than half a foot long. And he was able to touch
the entire wound. And the fourth one he had on the same
side was equally deep. This witness inserted his fingers in it
up to the point of its origin, with which this witness promised that he would always heal
the said Sangley by the intersession of Our Most Holy Virgin, given that he was
living with such deep and mortal wounds. And in all the time that
this witness cured them, he never saw them swollen or inflammed, or with
a bad odor, or a fever from which the said Sangley suffered. [He] was always
with a good demeanor. And this is what he responds.

[On the left margin] Testimony, Ambrosio Panganiban.
In the town of Casaysay, on the twentieth day of the month of
January of sixteen forty,
Master Joseph Cabral, the priest in charge of the district of
Balayan and the commissioned judge
for the investigation of the miracle of Our Lady of Casaysay,
ordered that an Indio appear before him. He said through the said
translator that his name was Ambrosio Panganiban, and that he was a native of the town of Taal,
and a soldier at the fort of Bonbon. From him, the proper
oath was received in the name of God Our Lord and the sign of the
cross. And having done this, he promised to say the truth. And having been
asked the contained interrogatory he said the following:
-To the first question, he said that he knows Juan Ynbin,
Christian Sangley, stonemason, since eight months ago, more or
less. This witness has seen him in his post at work in the
fort of Bonbon, and in the church of Our Lady of Casaysay in this town. And he has news of the miracle that was performed for the said Juan
Ynbin by the Most Holy Lady. And in the time that he has known him,
he has taken him to be a humble and good Christian. And this is what he responds.
-To the second question, he said that having received the order from Don
Juan de Cabrera, Castilian from the said fort, from the main mayor
of this province to capture all the Sangleys, Christians and heathens
in the said town and its surrounding, he came to the above and made
the imprisonment happen. And this witness was one of soldiers who came
to him. And among the Sangleys, there was the said Juan
Ynbin, who with his hands tied like the others, was taken
captive to the said fort. And this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that he saw the said Juan Ynbin,
captive in the said fort, with his hands tied and with a
brace on his neck, in which they put him and his other mates
on the next day when it was when they were killed. And on that
same day, the Father Prior of this district who

Entre los cuales, como dicho tiene este testigo, era el uno del dicho Juan
Ynbin que con la dicha trompa como a los demás lo arrojaron al
agua; con lo cual los cuatro indios de ambas bancas, en
cada una dos, volvieron a ir embarcando en ellas los demás
sangleyes muertos que quedaban en tierra; y esto responde.
-A la sexta pregunta, dijo que le parece que desde donde
echaron a la mar al dicho Juan Ynbin y demás sangleyes, hasta
el lugar donde dice que fue hallado el dicho Juan Ynbin
de las bóvedas de piedra y agua que llaman Santa de este dicho
pueblo, por tierra le parece habrá una hora de camino al
paso ordinario de una persona; y por el agua algo menos.
Y que aunque este testigo vio las heridas que le dieron cuando mata-
ron al dicho Juan Ynbin, no se enteró tanto de ellas como des-
pués que se las vio curar en el pueblo de Taal. Tiene por
cierto este testigo que sin particular merced de Dios no pudo venir
a las dichas bóvedas y fuente Santa donde le hallaron; y esto res-
ponde.
-A la séptima pregunta, dijo que miércoles en la tarde fue cuando
mataron al dicho Juan Ynbin, y domingo siguiente que
este testigo oyó decir lo habían hallado en las dichas bóvedas;
y esto responde.
-A la octava pregunta, dijo que como dicho tiene, vio las heridas
y lanzada del dicho Juan Ynbin, así cuando se las dieron
como después curándoselas en el pueblo de Taal; y las dos
del pescuezo tenían cortados los nervios principales;
y las otras dos asimismo eran mortales. Y que cuando
se las vio curar este testigo no estaban hinchadas ni infla-
madas ni de mal olor, y que ya no tenían gusanos porque
se los habían quitado; y esto responde.
-A la novena pregunta, dijo que ha visto al dicho Juan Yn-
bin en el pueblo de Taal y en éste de Casaysay andar
Original Translated

Among whom, as this witness has said, was the one in which Juan
Ynbin [was], who with his brace like the others was thrown into the
water. After which the four Indios from both bangkas,
two in each one, went back to board more of the
dead Sangleys who were left on the ground. And this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, he said that he thinks that from the point where
they threw the said Juan Ynbin and the other Sangleys into the sea, to
the place where they say that they found the said Juan Ynbin
in the stone vault and water that they call "Holy" in the said
town, by land he thinks that it takes about an hour of walking at
an ordinary pace for one person, and by water a little bit less.
And although this witness saw the wounds that were given to Juan Ynbin when they
killed him, he did not know of their gravity until
later, when he saw them being healed in the town of Taal. This witness takes it
as truth that without the special mercy of God he could not come
to the said vault and Holy spring where they found him. And this is what he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that it was Wednesday afternoon when
they killed the said Juan Ynbin, and it was on the following Sunday when
this witness heard that they had found him in the said vault.
And this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that as he already said, he saw the wounds
and the piercing of the said Juan Ynbin at the moment when they were
given to him as well as later, when this witness saw them healing them in the town of Taal. And the two
on his neck had cut off all his main nerves.
And the other two were likewise mortal. And when
he saw [how] they healed them, [this witness saw that] they were not swollen or
inflamed, or with a bad odor, and it did not have worms because
they had been removed. And this is what he responds.
-To the ninth question, he said that he has seen the said Juan
Ynbin in the town of Taal and in this one of Casaysay, walking

-To the second question, he said that Don Juan de Cabrera,
Castilian of the Fort of Bonbon, took a large number of
Sangleys that were [there] captive in this town of Casaysay, by the
order of the main mayor of this province, in order to
kill them. And among them, there was the said Juan Ynbin, with his tied
hands as was the case with the other ones. And this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that being the said Juan
Ynbin inside the said fort, with his hands tied and
with his brace on his neck, which was already put there and to the
other Sangleys, the Father Prior took the confession from the Christians of this
district of Taal. And he baptized some of the heathens who were
likewise captive. And then, two by two, and with the
said braces, they took them out of the said fort and taking them to the
place where they were killed, which would be at the distance of a shot of an arquebus, more
or less from the said fort. And this is what he responds.

the said Juan Ynbin be killed, because he was outside
the said fort and in the place where they were killing them,

en que está el agua Santa de este pueblo de Casaysay, y don-
de fue hallado el dicho Juan Ynbin, por tierra una hora

con las heridas que este testigo como dicho tiene vio dar

-A la octava pregunta, dijo que sin embargo de haber visto las dichas
heridas cuando se las dieron al dicho Juan Ynbin, las tornó a ver
este testigo en el dicho pueblo de Taal cuando se las curaban, que en par-
ticular las dos del pescuezo, cerebro eran penetrantes; porque la
principal era muy grande y tenía cortados todos los nervios que
se le veían, y la otra de la misma manera. Y las otras dos

-To the sixth question, he said that he thinks that the distance from
the place where they threw out the dead Sangleys into the sea up to the vault
where the holy water of this town of Casaysay is [located] and
where the said Juan Ynbin was found, it takes about one hour by
foot at a regular pace and by water a little bit less. And [he said] that
with the wounds that this witness saw when they were given to
the said Juan Ynbin, which were all
mortal, he believes to be impossible that this witness could come
to the said vault and holy water where he was found, if it was not
with the assistance of God Our Lord. And this is what he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that [it was] on [a] Wednesday afternoon they
killed the said Juan Ynbin and his mates. And on the following Sunday
he heard in the town of Taal that this witness was found
in the said vault and Holy water of this town.
And this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that in spite of the fact that he saw the said
wounds when they were given to the said Juan Ynbin, this witness saw them again
in the said town of Taal when they were being healed. In particular,
the two on the neck, brain were deep. Because the
main one was very big and had all the nerves, which were
visible, cut off, and the other one was in the same state. The other two
on the right breast and side were equally penetrating. And all
four were not swollen and did not have a bad odor and without worms, because
they had already removed them. And this is what he responds.
-To the ninth question, he said that besides seeing how the said
wounds were given to the said Juan Ynbin, this witness saw them again
in the said town of Taal when they were curing them. In
particular the two on his neck, brain were deep, because the
main one was very big and had all the nerves cut off so that
they were visible. And the other one was in the same state. And the other two
on top of the right breast and side were as penetrating. And all
four were without swelling or a bad odor and without worms, because they had
already been removed. And this is what he responds.
-To the ninth question, he said that he has seen the said Juan Ynbin
in the town of Taal and in this one of Casaysay going on his
own without anyone's help. And according to what was said
above, he is out of danger from the said wounds. And this is what he responds.

llamarse don Agustín Sava, y ser natural de este dicho pueblo de Casaysay,
del cual se fue recibido juramento en forma de derecho
por Dios Nuestro Señor y la señal de la cruz. Y habiéndole hecho, prometió de
decir verdad, y siéndole preguntado al tenor del interrogatorio
dijo lo siguiente:
-A la primera pregunta, dijo que conoce a Juan Ynbin, sangley cristiano,
de más de dos años a esta parte trabajar en la iglesia de Nuestra
Señora de Casaysay de este dicho pueblo; y tiene noticia del milagro que con él
ha usado esta soberana Señora, y que siempre ha visto este testigo al dicho
Juan Ynbin acudir a las obligaciones de cristiano, porque es humilde
y bien quieto; y esto responde.
-A la segunda pregunta, dijo que a este pueblo de Casaysay llegó don Juan
de Cabrera, castellano de la fuerza de Bonbon, con indios solda-
dos de ella, por orden del alcalde mayor de ella para prender todos
los sangleyes cristianos e infieles de este dicho pueblo para llevarlos
a la dicha fuerza y matarlos en ella, por causa del alzamiento general
de los sangleyes. Y así lo hizo el dicho don Juan de Cabrera, y entre

bin amarradas las manos; y esto responde.
-A la tercera pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.
-A la cuarta pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.

echaron al dicho Juan Ynbin, pero que desde la fuerza de
Bonbon hasta las bóvedas y agua santa de este pueblo de Casaysay, don-
de fue hallado el dicho Juan Ynbin por tierra le parece a este
testigo tardará una persona una hora andando al paso ordi-
nario, y si va por el agua algo menos. Y en cuanto a las heridas dijo este
testigo que el sábado en la noche que fue hallado en las dichas
bóvedas y agua santa de este pueblo por don Juan Magtangcab
y sus criados, se divulgó luego la hallada del dicho sangley en dicho
puesto; y así este testigo estaba de guardia con otros indios de este pueblo

his name was Don Agustín Sava and that he was a native of the said town of Casaysay.
He gave the proper oath
in the name of God Our Lord and the sign of the cross. And having done this, he promised
to say the truth. And having been asked the contents of this interrogatory,
he said the following:
-To the first question, he said that he has known Juan Ynbin, Christian Sangley,
for more than two years, in these parts. [He saw him] work at the church of Our
Lady of Casaysay of the said town. And he has heard of the miracle that
Our Sovereign Lady performed for him. And he has always seen the said
Juan Ynbin, fulfill his obligations as a Christian, because he is humble
and very quite. And this is what he responds.
-To the second question, he said that Don Juan de Cabrera, Castilian of the fort of Bonbon,
came to this town of Casaysay, with Indio
soldiers, by the order of its main mayor, in order to capture all
the Sangleys, Christians and heathens, of the said town to take them
to the said fort and kill them there due to the general uprising
of the Sangleys. And this is what the said Don Juan de Cabrera did. And among
them, this witness saw that one of the captives who was taken was the said Juan
Ynbin, with their tied hands. And this is what he responds.
-To the third question, he said that he does not know. And this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, he said that he does not know. And this is what he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that he does not know. And this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, this witness said that he does not know in what part of of the sea
they threw the said Juan Ynbin out, but that from the fort of
Bonbon to the vault and holy water of this town of Casaysay,
where the said Juan Ynbin was found, he think that by land
it takes a person one hour walking at an normal rate,
and if one goes by water, a little bit less. And in terms of the wounds, this witness
said that on the Saturday night when he was found in the said
vault and holy water of this town by Don Juan Magtangcab
and his servants, the finding of the said Sangley in the said place
was publicized. And this witness was then on guard with some other Indios of this town

-mo machete asimismo le había dado de punta una herida sobre la tetilla derecha. Y asimismo le contaron a este testigo los indios que lle-
varon embarcado al dicho Juan Ynbin, cómo lo echaron en la
mar en más de quince de brazas de fondo, amarradas las manos y
con una trompa al pescuezo como a los demás sangleyes; y esto responde.
-A la sexta pregunta, dijo que no la sabe; y esto responde.
-A la séptima pregunta, dijo que miércoles en la tarde que se con-
taron siete de diciembre del año pasado de seiscientos treinta
y nueve, el alcalde mayor de esta provincia mandó matar todos los sangleyes
del pueblo de Taal, y este testigo se halló a confesar los
cristianos y bautizar los infieles que se volvieron cristianos, que por
todos fueron los que aquel día murieron en el pueblo de Taal
cincuenta y un sangleyes [sic], y luego despidiéndose el dicho alcalde mayor
de este testigo diciéndole iba a la fuerza de Bonbon a hacer matar
los que allí estaban; y sábado en la noche siguiente dicen fue ha-
llado el dicho Juan Ynbin en las dichas bóvedas y agua santa
que llaman de esta pueblo de Casaysay; y esto responde.
-A la octava pregunta, dijo que domingo fue traído al pueblo de
Taal el dicho Juan Ynbin, y este testigo le vio las heridas que eran
cuatro; las dos, tenía la una en el pescuezo que habría de boca un jeme
y cortados todos los nervios, que tan solamente le quedó sano el gar-
guero; y la otra más arriba asimismo grande y penetrante. Y
las otras dos heridas o lanzadas, tenía sobre la tetilla derecha y costado derecho
que eran mortales. Y a este testigo le parece y tiene por cierto que
con las dichas heridas era imposible naturalmente poder ir
a las dichas bóvedas y agua santa donde le hallaron, sin par-
ticular auxilio de Dios Nuestro Señor, por intercesión de esta Santísima
Señora de Casaysay. Y que las dichas heridas, que como dicho tiene
este testigo vio al dicho Juan Ynbin, le causó grandísima admiración
el ver que no estaban hinchadas ni inflamadas ni con mal olor

with the same machete, he used its edge to wound his
right breast. And likewise, this witness heard from the Indios who embarked
Juan Ynbin how they threw him into the
sea, where it was more than fifteen fathoms deep, with his hands tied and
with a brace on his neck like the other Sangleys. And this is how he responds.
-To the sixth question, he said that he does not know. And this is how he responds.
-To the seventh question, he said that on Wednesday afternoon, which was on the
seventh of December of the past year of sixteen thirty
nine, the main mayor of this province ordered killed all of the Sangleys
of the town of Taal. And this witness took confession from the
Christians and baptized the heathens who converted to Christianity, who were
the fifty one Sangleys [sic] who on that day died in the town of Taal.
And after the said main mayor said his farewell to this
witness, he told him that he was going to the fort of Bonbon to order the killing
of those who were there. And on the following Saturday night the
said Juan Ynbin was found in the said vault and holy water,
as they call [the spring] in this town of Caysasay. And this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that this Sunday the said
Juan Ynbin was brought to this town of Taal, and this witness saw his wounds, which were
four. Of the two, one was on the neck and it was an opening of about half a foot
and with the nerves all cut-off, with the exception of the
throat. The one that was higher up was equally big and deep. And
the other two wounds or piercings were (one on top of the right breast and side)
mortal. And this witness thinks and believes that
with such wounds it would have been impossible to naturally go to the
said vault and holy water where he was found, without the
special assistance of God Our Lord, by the intercession of this Most Holy
Lady of Caysasay. And the said wounds, which this witness saw,
were not swollen or inflamed or with a bad odor as this witness has said.

[people] have for the said image grows, and all of these
nations that are newly converted would fortify their faith
and would know the benefits and mercies that by the intercession
of the Most Holy Virgin are received by her devotees and the persons that
are entrusted to her. And regarding the said miracle
that she performed with a Sangley after the start of the
uprising and war of the Sangleys, which persists today with so much
perjury, injury, and undermining of these islands due to the many
burnings of towns and temples that the Sangley
keeps on causing with its army, the deaths of Spaniards
and natives, and the devastation of properties. And publishing
the [story of the] miracle, the faith of the Spaniards and natives, and
the hope in Our Lady of good deeds will be needed
and will grow during this war and with more
fervor [people] will ask for her assistance and favors. And it is understood that
the Sangleys of old times, even the heathens venerated
this holy image of Our Lady of Casaysay. And by their devotion
many have been converted and gone to live close to her church.
By her intersession the persecution of these islands will stop,
and they will come to the knowledge of our true faith. It
should be necessary that the declaration of the said miracle be made
without delay, and our Lordship give license for its publication for the
effects and results said above. Therefore:
To His Most Illustrious Lordship, I ask and beg that according to what was determined by
the Holy Council of Trent, he declare the said miracle of the Our Lady of
Casaysay performed with Juan Imbin, Christian Sangley, as such and give a
license to publish and celebrate it. Because in such deed, my
religion will receive mercy. And from that, there will be many effects that
give honor and glory to God Our Lord.

On the island of Cebu in the Philippines, under the authority of His Majesty, on the sixteenth day of the month of May in the year one thousand five hundred and sixty-five.
The Most Illustrious Lord Miguel López de Legazpi, Governor and Captain General, in the name of His Majesty of the people and fleet for the discovery of the islands under His Majesty's authority, Fernando Riquel, government notary of said islands, declared in my presence: On the day the Spaniards entered this island and town of Cebu, which was on a Saturday, the twenty-eighth of April of this present year, after having displaced the natives of this town, who abandoned it and fled inland, Juan de Canviz (sic), a native of Bermeo and a sailor of the flagship, entered one of the humblest and poorest houses, built of bamboo and barely furnished, and in it found an image of the Child Jesus in a small pinewood box. The image wore a woolen cap with red fringes, of the kind made in Flanders, a small shirt with ruffles, and had two fingers of its right hand raised as if giving a blessing. In its left hand, it held a round globe without a cross, and it wore a small gilded tin necklace around its neck. This small box and the image of the Child Jesus were inside another wooden box, of the kind native to this land, tied with a cord. Upon discovering the image, he carried it in his hands, with the intention of showing it and he encountered the Field Marshal Mateo del Saz (sic), who took it from him and brought it for viewing to the general, that is, the said Lord Governor. The general, with great reverence and solemn procesiosn, ordered the image to be brought and placed in the church that is being lent for use. He, together with the friars of the Order of San Agustín, the captains, and other field officials, made a vow and promise that every year, on the same day that the image was found, a feast would be celebrated in honor of the Holy Name of Jesus. They also decreed the establishment of a confraternity of the Most Blessed Name of Jesus, modeled after the one in the Monastery of San Agustín in Mexico and following the same statutes. This was to ensure that the memory of the aforementioned event and the discovery of the image in this land of non-believers would remain perpetually. To record and affirm this, the said Lord Governor ordered that witness testimony be gathered as follows. He signed it with his name, Miguel López, in my presence, Fernando Riquel, government notary.
And then immediately on that very same day, month, and year mentioned above, the said governor, for the purpose of the said inquiry, ordered Juan de Camuz, a native of the town of Bormeo in the Lordship of Vizcaya and a sailor of the flagship, to appear before him. He swore by God and by Saint Mary and by the words of the four Gospels and by the sign of the cross in due legal form and under the obligation of said oath. He promised to tell the truth, and when asked about the matter in question, he stated that [what happened] was that on the said Saturday, the 28th of April of the present year, when the said governor ordered the men to disembark in this town of Cebu, the declarant left the flagship in a small boat together with the sailors and soldiers who disembarked for the said purpose. And as they approached the area where the (sic: paraos [small boats]) and canoes of the indios were with people. Since the natives abandoned the canoes, and they began to flee. The declarant found an abandoned canoe that the natives had left behind, and he brought it to the small boat to be taken to the flagship. While returning with it, he saw how the people on the small boats were jumping onto land because the natives had fled, abandoning their houses. Having left the canoe, Pedro de Alorcass, an artilleryman from the flagship, along with the declarant, went ashore and walked among the houses. Said Pedro de Alorcas climbed into one house and told the declarant to climb into another to see what was there. The declarant went three or four houses further because there were soldiers inside them. Upon reaching a small house which gave him the impression that nobody had entered there, he climbed inside and found two small boxes tied by the natives. He opened one and found only a bowl and a boar’s tusk while the other box seemed light and empty. He went further into the house and found another small box tied with a thread used for sails from [C]astilla and a hemp rope from [C]astilla, or so it seemed to the witness. Since it seemed heavy and he thought there was something inside, he cut the rope and opened it. Inside, he found another small pinewood box. Within it was a figurine of the Child Jesus like those brought from Flanders, dressed in a little shirt with ruffles and a small gilded tin necklace. On its head, it wore a red wool hat with velvet, like those from Flanders. Recognizing it as an image of the Child Jesus, he took it and placed a cross made out of cane above the house to mark it. While carrying the image in his hands, he encountered a soldier from Captain Martín de Goiti’s company and told him how he had found the image of the Child Jesus, showing it to him. Continuing further, he met the Field Marshal Mateo del Saz, to whom he handed over the image. The Field Marshal took it and brought it to the ships to show it to the governor and the religious officials. And this is the truth of what happened as he has sworn and that he did not find anyone else inside the said house because it was empty. He confirmed and ratified this account and did not sign it because he said he could not write. It was signed by the governor, Miguel López, in my presence, Fernando Riquel, government notary.
And then, immediately, on said day, month, and year, the said governor, for the purpose of the said inquiry, ordered that the Field Marshal Mateo del Saz be sworn in accordance with the law, and he swore by God and by the Holy Mary. According to (him?), when asked about what he knew concerning the aforementioned matter, he stated: On said Saturday, the 28th of April, when the people landed in the town of Cebu, this declarant went with them. After the natives had been defeated and had abandoned the town, the people were ordered to regroup. While gathering them, he came across Juan de Camuz, a sailor from the flagship, who was carrying a small box in his hands. Juan said to this declarant, "Sir, I found this image in a house here." It was an image of the Child Jesus, the kind made in Flanders, placed inside the small box. This declarant took the image in his hands, which was contained in a small box of the kind made in Flanders, with a little frilled shirt and a red woolen hat, velvety, as they are customarily made in Flanders. The image was whole and clean, with the two fingers of its right hand raised in blessing and the other hand holding a golden globe without the usual cross on top. The image was whole and well-preserved, except the varnish on the face was slightly worn in one small spot, as was a tiny part of the globe, which seemed to have been there for a long time but was otherwise in good condition. This witness took the image, and after gathering the people, brought it to the governor and the religious officials so they could see it, and handed it over to them. Afterward, the said governor ordered an inquiry into the location of the house where the image had been found. And thanks to a cross left by the sailor, the house was located, and from there, the image was taken to the church currently being lent for use. It was brought there in a solemn procession and with great rejoicing and celebration by the entire camp. Everyone adored it, and it was placed on the main altar of the said church so that it might remain there perpetually.
The said governor, this witness, and the other captains and officers of the camp made a vow and promise to celebrate a feast, each year on that same day, in honor of the discovery of the image of the Child Jesus. They also instituted a brotherhood in the name of Jesus. This is what this witness knows and declares under the oath he has taken, to which he affirmed and ratified. He signed it under his name, and the said governor signed: Miguel López; Matheo del Saz. Recorded before me, Fernando Riquel, government notary.
Then, immediately, on the aforementioned day, month, and year, the said governor, for the purposes of the inquiry, summoned Esteban Rodríguez, a soldier in the company of Captain Martín de Goiti, to appear before him. His Lordship administered an oath to him, and Esteban swore by God and by Saint Mary, in due legal form, under oath, he promised to tell the truth about what he knew and what was asked of him, and when interrogated about what he knew regarding the aforementioned matter, he said: What happened, and what this witness knows, is that on the said Saturday, twenty-eighth of April of that year, which was the first day the Spaniards entered this island and the town of Cebu, after driving out the natives who had abandoned their houses and retreated inland, the captains were going around gathering

Lo segundo que el principal que lo tenía era su casa donde
está ahora la iglesia mayor y cuando tenía necesidad de
agua para las sementeras enviaba el padre de Dona Maria la de
Mandaui que llamaron Legazpi porque fue su padrino el adelantado
Miguel López de Legazpi cuando se bautizó. Este tenía la
casa en [medio] de Cebu que yo la alcance bien grande aquien
respetaban y le ponían un altar adorada de las mejores
mantas que usaban que eran caianpata y muchas campanas y en
llegando la cajita donde estaba el santísimo niño le sacaban y ponían
en el lugar atado y había gran fiesta y bailes y luego le tomaban
y en un plato antiguo que llaman losdac le ponían de pies
y lo empezaban a bañar diciendo "balagala danos agua" y luego le enjugaban
y le volvían a su altar y jamás por jamás dejó de llover que
se rasgaban los cielos luego la noche siguiente. Y con esta fee todas las
veces que tenían necesidad de agua usaban lo propio y le volvían
luego a casa del principal dicho. Este plato le tiene Doña Maria y le
estima la india grandemente y se le han querido comprar para
tener la con el santísimo niño y no le ha querido vender diciendo que cuando
se muera se lo dejará=
Lo tercero que corrió voz y nueva de que el Burney venía sobre ellos

tenía al santísimo niño tambíen se fue a poner encobro y dejó
la cajita a un esclavo suyo casado que la [guardasen] porque estaba
allí toda su hacienda sin saber los esclavos que quedaba en ella
ni jamás lo habían visto. Y después de ido el amo dijo el marido
a la muger: "Nuestro amo nos ha dejado aquí por carnada de anzuelo para
que los enemigos nos matan o cautiven. Vámonos a esconder al manglar."
Y queriendo echarse la cajita al hombro no la pudo mover. Llamó
a su mujer que le ayudase y tampoco la pudieron mover de manera
que con esto creyeron ser verdad que allí quedaba toda la hacienda
del amo. Y así se dejaron estar a seguro la nueva. Y luego fue
volviendo la gente al pueblo y dentro de poco tuvieron falta
de agua y enviaron por el santísimo niño a un [muchacho] y viendo

Original Translated

[And it is] well known to his most reverend excellency everything that has happened regarding the most holy child, as someone who has lived in this city for so many years. What I have come to know during the time I have been here, I will now recount:
First, the natives of Cebu called him bahahala, which means "the Great Lord," not diguata, as it is superstitious.
Secondly, the leader who possessed it kept it in his house, which is now the location of the main church and when water was needed for the fields, they would call upon the father of Doña María of Mandaui, who was called Legazpi because the adelantado Miguel López de Legazpi was his godfather when he was baptised. He had his house in [the center] of Cebu, which I knew to be very large. They respected him and they set him up an altar adorned with the finest cloths they had, known as caianpata, and with many bells. When the small box containing the Most Holy Child arrived, they would take Him out and place Him in a designated spot, tying Him down, and there would be great celebrations and dances. Then they would take Him, place Him standing on an old plate called losdac, and begin to bathe Him, saying, "balagala, give us water" and afterwards, they would dry Him and return Him to His altar, and on the night after, it would absolutely never stop raining as if the skies were being torn open. And with this faith, they repeated the ritual every time they needed water, and then they would return Him to the house of the said leader. Doña María still has this plate, and this native [woman] values it dearly. Many have tried to buy it from her to keep it alongside the most Holy Child, but she has refused to sell it, saying that she will leave it behind when she dies.=
Thirdly, it was rumored that the Burney was coming for them and out of fear the people fled to the mountains and other places. And the leader who kept the most Holy Child also went into hiding, leaving the small box in the care of a married slave couple for keeping, as all his possessions were stored there without the knowledge of the slaves who were staying there nor did they ever see it. After the master had left, the husband said to his wife: "Our master has left us here as bait for the hook so that the enemies can kill or capture us. Let’s go and hide in the mangroves." But when he tried to lift the small box onto his shoulder, he could not move it. He called his wife to help him, but they still could not lift it and on account of that, they believed it must have indeed contained all their master’s possessions. So they decided to stay put and wait for [news].
Later on, people began returning to the village and before long, they found themselves in need of water, and a young boy was sent to retrieve the most Holy Child. When the slave saw how easily the boy lifted the small box onto his shoulder, he was astonished. Without saying anything, he followed the boy and waited for him to open the box. When he saw the most Holy Child being taken out, he came closer to see what was inside the box and not

prelados das religiõis, e algúns mestres, e teólogos, fidalgos, físico maior, e liturgiõis já nomeados
em cuja companhia, entrei tão bem eu secretario do estado, por ordem do dito sehor vice-rey
e a porta de claustro veo a madre prioresa com alguas religiosas das mais antigas a receber
a todos, e os forão conduzindo, para o coro baixo onde estava o corpo da dita Madre Maria
de Jesus, no qual estavão as mais religiosas do dito convento em pé com toda a compostura
postas por sua ordem junto as cadeiras do mesmo coro, e fazendo oficio maior, e liturgiois em
presença de todos terceiro exame a vistoria na mesma forma que tinha feito no segundo
se aclarão os efeitos referidos, e no sinal do lado se vio alguma diferença na grandeza
e cor por estar maior, e mais viva, en este terceiro exame, se lhe a passou demais a ca-
beça tirando lhe os véus branco e preto, e se divisarão por partes algumas nódoas pequenas
como pisaduras, e o corpo estava brando tratável e flexível como dantes, e conferindo o
senhor vice-rei com o cabido, inquisidores, e prelados, esta materia se resolveu que ficare
o corpo até o dia seguinte quatro do dito mes para na tarde dele, se lhe dar sepultura
e ficando isto até asentado se tornarão a ajuntar no dito dia a tarde na igreja no dito
convento o senhor vice-rei, o cabido, inquisidores, e prelados, e mais pessoas todas já no
meados, e demais o reverendo padre Irmão Martín da Companhia de Jesus, e o padre Fray Mateus de Jesus
Carmelita descalço italiano de nasção que entende de medicina, e antes de se dar sepul-
tura ao corpo, se fez quatro exame por afirmar o padre confessor geral Fray Agustino dos Reis
que naquela noite de tres para quatro do dito mes crecera mais o sinal do lado e fora sempre
em aumento com que se ficava tirando os escrúpulos de algúns e tornando a entrar as ditas
pessoas na mesma forma na dita clausura, e fazendo-se as experiencias já referidas se
achou notávelmente crecido o sinal do lado que sendo a princípio de grosura de dois fios
delgados da seda se mostrava neste exame farpado com duas pontas uma maior que outra
quasi da largura do dedo menor da mão de cor encarnada escura, e quanto mais se lhe a-
plicavão os lavatórios do sabão, sal, e vinagre, mais claro e distinto se vião, e os das mãos
e pés ficarão como dantes estavão, e o corpo no mesmo ser tratável e flexível e declarou
o padre Fray Mateus de Jesus, carmelita descalço que entende e cura de medicina que os ditos siná-
is lhe parecião sobrenaturáis, e depois de feito o dito exame se deu ordem ao enterramento
que salio fora da clausura para se satisfazer ao clamor do povo que a queria ver e foi pela
rua junto ao convento, e voltou pelo colégio de São Paulo novo da Companhia de Jesus
e pela igreja de Santo Antonio e adro do convento de Santo Agustino em cujas partes se
tinhão assinado de próximo as estações da Via Sacra que o corpo da dita Madre Maria
de Jesus corre primeiro com as chagas patentes, parece que permitindo até Deus para
que com este exemplo meditassemos nas suas e nos misterios de sua sagrada paixão, eleva-
rão o esquife em que ia o corpo, os inquisidores, capitualres, e prelados das religiois, e algúns
largarão para pegarem outros, indo ao comunidades de todas as religiois por sua ordem, e o senhor
vice-rei com algúns fidalgos atras todos com velas de cera branca nas mãos e para desviar o gr de
converço do povo que acudio mandou o senhor vice-rei por em alla pelos lados algumas companhias
de infantaria ese lhe dobrarão os sinos fazendose sinais como a defunto, e os altares das gracia
se puzerão de negro e o reverendo cabido mandou declarar ao povo em voz alta por pessoas ecclesi-
asticas que não era sua tenção calificar por santa a esta religiosa, nem dar lhe com este
obséquio, e acompanhamento culto e veneração da santidade conformandose nisto com os
decretos da Sé Apostólica; mas somente honrar a esta defunta dando graças a Dios
pela maravilha que nela obrara, e ordenou ao seu provisor, e vigário geral que de tudo fizesse
auto, e perguntasse testemunhos ad perpetuam rei memoriam para mostrar ao senhor arcebispo
primaz quando viene do norte, e dispor neste particular o que fosse mais ao serviço de Deus

prelates, some masters, theologians, fidalgos, head physician, and liturgicals aforementioned, in whose company, I, the secretary of the State, also entered by order of the said viceroy. And at the door of the cloister came the mother prioress with some senior nuns to receive everyone and they were led to the lower choir where were the corpse of the said Mother Maria de Jesus, in which more nuns of the said convent were standing with all the composure kept under her order along with the chairs of the same choir and doing the [oficio mayor] and liturgicals in the presence of everyone, the third examination and inspection in the same format as it had been done in the second time, the mentioned results were clarified, and in the sign of the side something different was found in size and color being larger and more vivid in this third examination, the other people peeked in, removing both white and black veils from her, and some small stains like bruises were seen in some parts, and the corpse was soft, malleable and flexible as before, and the viceroy, conferring with the councillor, inquisitors, and prelates, it was resolved that the corpse stay until the following day the 4th of this month before they bury it in the afternoon, and until it was agreed, the viceroy, councillor, inquisitors, prelates, and all the other people aforementioned, and others the reverend father brother Martín of the Society of Jesus, and the father Fray Mateus de Jesus, discalced Carmelite, originally from Italia, who understands medicine, will gather on the said day in the afternoon at the church in the said convent. And before burying the corpse the fourth examination was carried out for the father confessor general Fray Agustino dos Reis affirmed that in the night between the 3rd and the 4th of the said month the sign on the side grew larger and had been increasing, with which the scruples of some were removed. And entering again the said people in the same way into the cloister and carrying out the aforementioned tests, the mark on the side was found to have notably grown, which, at first it was as thick as two thin threads of silk, in this examination, appeared to have been barbed with two points, one larger than the other, almost the width of the little finger, in dark red color, and the more washing with the soap, salt, and vinegar was applied, the clearer and more distinctive they looked, and the marks on the hands and feet remained as they were before, and the corpse being soft and flexible. And the father Fray Mateus de Jesus, discalced Carmelite who understood and cured with medicine declared that the said signs seemed supernatural to him, and after the examination was done, the burial was ordered, and went outside of the cloister to satisfy the clamor of the public who wanted to see her and came out to the street next to the convent, and returned to the college of São Paulo Novo of the Society of Jesus and to the church of Santo Antonio and the patio of the convent of Saint Augustine in whose parts the stations on the cross had been assigned nearby, which the corpse of the said Mother Maria de Jesus went first with wounds exposed, it looked like even God allowed it, so that with this example we may meditate on her and on the mysteries of the Sacred Passion. The inquisitors, capitulars, prelates raised the bier in which the corpse was carried, and some left to pick up others, going to the communities of all the religions in their order, and the viceroy with some fidalgos behind, all with the white wax candles in their hands, and to divert the great conversion of people who came to see, the viceroy ordered that some infantry on the sides be placed, and the bells be told, making signs as for the deceased, and the altars of the offering be put in black. And the reverend councillor ordered to declare to the public in a loud voice by ecclesiastical persons that it was not his intention to evaluate this nun as a saint, nor to give her with this gift, refined accompaniment, and veneration of the sanctity in conformity with the decrees of the Apostolic See; however, only to honor this deceased by giving thanks to God for the miracle He worked in her, he ordered to his provisor and the vicar general to make a report on everything, and ask for testimonies ad perpetuam rei memoriam in order to show to the senhor primatial archbishop when he came from the North, and to arrange in this regard what was most in the service of God.

And now that the issue of non-payment has been brought up, it is your obligation to ensure that there are no shortcomings that would prove you are at fault. You will be punished if you are the one who provided where the obligation was not taken care of or not upheld. And perhaps there is something about your rival that is within your power, and it will be imposed on you in [Rez.a].There are people now who will tell the judge to [Rez.a] you, and the one responsible will be counted if you talk about the real property in your custody. When the studies are completed, a certification is given at the priests' house along with a notarized letter. What you are saying includes true words that you are doing these things during the [time] when you gather and discuss the preparation of properties and bind the strands of coconut oil and abaca in the binding places found on the roads used by the elders, and you also gathered in the fields the vehicles that will be sent by the official judges. The true official judges must be discerning and careful in pursuing these people to find them guilty. They must be completely generous and completely honest in delivering them to their true warehouses. They must work here in the city, sometimes at a high cost, and they must pay the government treasury in Calabian. They must be completely honest in their duties. those who mismanage here will be brought to an important hearing in this current year's coming session with rare attendance in the court in New Spain and along with the important delivery to the offices of justice and will continue in the reason of the justice of love and the love of God and the love of the country which is upheld and voted by your governor and captain general, Because of your lack of effort to gather, that's why the contracts made with the taxes turned out that way, let's go and encamp in the forests to build houses and there the generals will spend in the royal warehouses, because it has been revealed that you can gather that kind of species there; You will send all the money in the form of cutana here and deliver it to the cash register of this house in the city, and you will also open the trading and good goods here, and you will send the gathered information about the truth that this is the command and you will implement it in the Bisaya language.

This has to be purchased among the natives who can provide it for the provision of the royal warehouses and outfitting of his majesty's vessels (whom God protects) at two reales per chinta of said abaca, half a real per quarter of said oil, which payment was executed today in my presence by said mayor without owing anything for this reason, and said transcript was ordered to be posted in the tribunal of this said town. And so that it may be recorded where appropriate, I issue the present document in this town of Cagsaua on the fifteenth day of the month of February, seventeen hundred and six. And I signed it.

Lt. Don Vicente Quitalig, by the Grace of our Lord God,
my present lieutenant, and the old Lt. Don Pedro Manungcut who earlier headed
this town, together with Infantry Captain Don Juan Sanchez, a notable mangapia
and a leader of the townspeople and the town of Paniqui,
kneeling and kissing your feet, our master,
our father provincial [and, thus,] greatly implore your esteemed and highly
audience,
yielding to the authority of the holy
habit of our father San Agustin, if you will recognize the place they called Palosapis
as a legitimate settlement. Compared to (the constituents of) the rest of the principalia, ours is challenging
since all our constituents have gone there (to Palosapis),
numbering to nine households, being registered residents in the general registry.
Palosapis is relatively secluded and has neither capulongan nor the
esteemed Spaniards seldom [visit] the area.
Also, they are a great lost to our jurisdiction
because they could have been of help by being just in the forested area. We are having difficulty
in obtaining the king’s dispatches (i.e., orders),
as well as those from the esteemed governors of the provinces of Ilocos and
Cagayan
because no one will bring them to us. No one will also look after you
along the dangerous trail all the way here, our beloved fathers, the
representatives of our Jesus Christ, our Lord.
This is precisely because all our
constituents have been fleeing to the said township of Palosapis always. =
If happens this supplication is denied, our
esteemed master fathers, we will kneel again to kiss your feet,
our beloved master father, to be enlightened whether it is prudent to abandon this township
and will just establish a new one in a conspicuous place
so that our people who abandoned us for a place without a government in Palosapis, will reunite with us.

En el sitio de Palosapes, en treinta de enero de mil setecientos y diez años,
hice comparecer en mi presencia los indios empadronados en el pueblo de
Paniqui que se hallan en el dicho sitio de Palosapis para [efecto] de
reconocerlos y empadronarlos, y los que dijo Don Pedro Manungcot [que]
están empadronados en su barangáy son los siguientes:
Doña Catalina Tolonbanua, viuda, con cinco hijos, los siguientes:
Tomás Magale, indio de Tarlac, casado con Rosa Vita, hija de la dicha [ca].
Ítem Nicolás Catubiran, casado con Verónica Masna, con cinco hijos.
Original Translated

We are not the only ones experiencing this. Even the nearby
townships of Palosapis like Tarlac and Garlit are complaining, too.
Only because these townships are frequented by the Spaniards,
their people chose to return to Palosapis. [The Provinces of]
Pangasinan and Capangpangan repel whatever unlawfulness in
their towns, especially by the Zambals mingling with the
Pangasinans and Kapampangans. [If the same will not be done] in
the town our beloved King shown with grace but abandoned, no one
will recognize any authority. May you instruct all our constituents
who abandoned us for Palosapis to resettle again here in Paniqui,
so that altogether we can serve our Lord God with all humility.
Command us, your ignorant servants, because if that settlement in
Palosapis will continue and people will frequent there, it will kill this
depopulated Spanish-organized town [of Paniqui ]. = That is why we
implore to the Father Provincial, our master, to scrutinize the facts
we furnished you. So that you may lead us to what is right and be
worthy to the sacrament of Baptism in order for us to consummate
all our strength in manifesting to our Lord God our gratefulness and
to you, our Master Father who cares for us
ignorant slaves. =

At the site of Palosapes, on 30 January 1710,
I caused to appear before me the Indians listed in the town of
Paniqui who are present in the aforementioned site of Palosapes for the purpose of
recognizing and registering them, and those listed by Don Pedro Manungcot
in his barangay are as follows:
Doña Catalina Tolonbanua, widow, with five children, as follows:
Tomás Magale, an Indian from Tarlac, married to Rosa Vita, daughter of the aforementioned [ca].
Also, Nicolás Catubiran, married to Verónica Masna, with five children.

Muy reverendo padre nuestro provincial
Pasando por el pueblo de Paniqui, el cabeza de barangay me dio un escrito en que
me representa destrucción de su dicho pueblo por causa de ausentarse
los caylianes para el sitio de Palosapes. Y conociendo su razón,
determiné [que] él que me acompañase hasta el dicho paraje, para que, siendo
cierta su relación, le contase de la ninguna gana que de tales indios
tenía el religioso que los administraba. Y llegando a él, reconocí
ser verdad el informe que me hizo, como verá vuestra reverencia en la lista de los
sujetos que se hallaron y va inclusa. Y porque en el dicho sitio de
Palosapes se recogieron estos y muchos más, de todas naciones se hallan
esparcidos por las largas sabanas que les ofrece la libertad
de que gustan los que no quieren tolerar las dulzuras de los ministros eclesiásticos
y jugo del servicio personal a que son obligados, como
coopere con su autoridad para que sean obligados los tales a lo que
deben y reconozcan algún ministro. El dicho sitio de Palosapes no es pueblo,
ni quiera Dios que lo sea, si sino conforme ha de ser para que su servicio de Dios
y con las licencias necesarias. El ministro misionero que anda por todas
partes de estas dichas sabanas, habiendo reconocido la perdición de las
muchas almas que en seis u ocho años no se confesaban, ni oían
misa, determinó acudirles cuando el tiempo se lo permitiera, y así
lo ha ejecutado por tres años. Y para mejor poderlo hacer, mandó levantar
un camarín en que decir misa. A ella acuden algunos, estando
hasta hoy muchos más sin ver iglesia ni ministro. Y para que los más son
pangasinanos malévolos y estos irreducibles a sus pueblos. Pido a vuestra reverencia
[que] lo premedite y dé alguna providencia para que sean reducidos a esa
provincia, o disponga el que quedando en esta, salvan de los padrones en
que están para que yo pueda informar al señor gobernador el estadolo que
sobre la administración de los tales fuere servido dar. Lo siento es
padre nuestro que estas sabanas ocultan mucha pena, y que será imposible
sacarla. Yo así lo siento y descargo mi conciencia con lo que
vuestra reverencia juzgare más conveniente y [entt.o]. Guarde nuestro señor muchos años. Palosapes
y enero 30 de 1710.
Original Translated

Very Reverend Father our Provincial,
Passing through the town of Paniqui, the cabeza de barangay gave me a written document in which
he relates the destruction of his said town due to the departure of
the Caylianes to the site of Palosapes. And understanding his reason,
I decided for him to accompany me to the said place, so that, being
certain his account, he might tell of the dislike which such Indians
had of the religious who administered them. And upon reaching the town, I recognized
to be true the report he made me, as your reverence will see in the list of the
subjects that were found, which comes attached. And because in the said site of
Palosapes these and many more were collected, parts of all nations are found
scattered across the long savannahs that offers them the freedom
desired by those who do not want to tolerate the sweetness of the ecclesiastical ministers
and substance of the personal service to which they are obligated, such as
cooperating with their authority to obligate them
to what they must do and recognize some minister. The said place of Palosapes is not a town,
and God forbid that it be if not in accordance with his service of God
and with the necessary licenses. The missionary minister who travels throughout
these savannahs, having recognized the perdition of the
many souls who for six or eight years have not gone to confession or heard
mass, decided to go to them when the time permitted, and
has done so for three years. And to be able to do it better, he ordered the construction
of a chapel in which to say mass. Some go to mass,
while many more have not seen a church or minister to this day. And so that most of them are
(malevolent) Pangasinan and these are irreducible to their towns. I ask your reverence
[that] you reflect on it and give some providence so that they may be subject to reducción to that
province, or arrange that while they remain in this province, they be saved from the padrones in
which they are, so that I can inform the governor of the state
the administration of these people, which he will be good enough to give me. I am sorry,
Father, that these savannahs hide much sorrow, and that it will be impossible
to remove it. I am sorry for this and I unload my conscience with what
your reverence will judge most convenient and [entt.o]. God save you for many years. Palosapes
and 30 January 1710.

various administrators. Even our allies are becoming similarly
disobedient. This is our complaint:
[from] around a hundred tributes of these taxpayers (?) there [have been] no
exemptees [for] three years now. According to the
calculations of señor oidor (Judge) Don Alonzo Villafuerte, there is a
sacristana, a taxpayer; singers and the actual captain of the
town, they are also now all taxpayers =
That is why, father inspector, our lord Fray Sebastián Fronda,
we ask for your mercy, and beg [you] to help us
in confronting them, your most reverend father inspector, our lord. And you are
placed by Jesus Christ our God, and
are weighing this matter faithfully. We are under
the habit of father San Agustin. We
ask for this [request], kneeling in front of you,
We are waiting for your help and mercy, that
heals our soul and body etc.

be returned to the town of Tarlac, since we are residents
here in Picabalouan, if they send
him away from Palosapis. [Ume] "Do not hurt me" he said to me.
"That is why I kneel before you, to bring this [matter] to you because I do not
want to be sent away from my town." I beg you
to ask him to go home here, under our [guarantee]. If he
runs away or moves to a different town, we will
show him that we would suffer, so he would get scared. If he will go to a
different town without our permission "I will not come along. [You act] as if I do not
have faith in my body, which I give only to God and no other" =
