[al margen izquierdo] Testimonio Ambrosio Manalig.
En el pueblo de Casaysay, en dieciocho días del mes
de enero de mil seiscientos cuarenta años, el maestro Joseph
Cabral, cura beneficiado del partido de Balayan y juez de comisión
para la averiguación del milagro de Nuestra Señora de Casaysay, hizo pare-
cer ante sí a un indio que mediante Thomás Dimaligalig, in-
térprete, dijo llamarse Ambrosio Manalig y ser natural del pueblo de
Taal, y a la sazón soldado de la Fuerza de Bonbon, del cual se
recibió juramento en forma de derecho por Dios Nuestro Señor y la señal
de la cruz. Y habiéndolo hecho prometió de decir verdad; y siéndole
preguntado al tenor del interrogatorio dijo lo siguiente:
-A la primera pregunta, dijo que conoce a Juan Ynbing [sic], sangley cristiano,
cantero, de ocho meses a esta parte que le ha visto trabajar en su oficio en
la dicha fuerza y en la iglesia y santuario de este pueblo de Casaysay.
Y tiene noticia del milagro que con él usó Nuestra Señora, y que en
el tiempo que dicho tiene que conoce al dicho Juan Ynbin, le ha tenido y
tiene por hombre de buena vida y costumbres; y esto responde.
-A la segunda pregunta, dijo que este testigo, en compañía de D. Juan
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.
A la cuarta pregunta, dijo este testigo que a él y a otros indios soldados
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
matar a los dichos sangleyes; y a este testigo le tocó el matar al dicho Juan

[on the left margin] Testimony by Ambrosio Manalig.
In the town of Casaysay, on the eighteenth 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, requested that
an Indio appear before him with the intersession of Thomás Dimaligalig,
a translator. [The Indio] said his name was Ambrosio Manalig and that he was from the town
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
Juan

o menos; y por mar poco menos. Y que a este testigo le parece según le de-
jó con las dichas heridas penetrantes, ser imposible con ninguna
de las que le dio naturalmente poder venir a la bóveda y fuente
donde le hallaron; y que no sabe ni ha oído decir ni se puede persuadir
a que fuese traído al dicho paraje, sino es por obra de la Virgen Santísima
de Casaysay; y esto responde.
-A la séptima pregunta, dijo que lo que sabe es que un día miércoles
en la tarde fue cuando este testigo mató al dicho Juan Ynbin, y que
luego el domingo siguiente por la mañana, oyó decir a mucha gente
habían hallado al susodicho en las bóvedas y fuente de Casaysay;
y esto responde.
-A la octava pregunta, dijo que se remite a lo que tiene dicho y
declarado en la cuarta y sexta pregunta de este dicho, y que no sabe
lo demás que se contiene en esta pregunta; y esto responde.
-A la novena pregunta, dijo que ha visto muchas veces al dicho Juan
Ynbin que anda por sus pies sin ayuda de persona alguna
y sin traer bordón, y le parece a este testigo está fuera de riesgo; y esto responde.
-A la décima pregunta, dijo que no la sabe, y esto
responde.
-A la oncena pregunta dijo que todo lo que dicho tiene es público y notorio, pú-
blica voz y fama y la verdad so cargo del juramento que hecho tiene,
y no tocarle las generales de la ley. No supo decir su edad; pareció por
su aspecto de cuarenta años poco más o menos; y lo firmó a su usanza,
con el dicho juez e intérprete.

more or less. And this witness thinks that given that he
left him with such deep wounds, it would be impossible that with them
he would be able to make it to the vault and spring on his own
where he was found. And neither does he know, heard said, or be persuaded
that he would be brought to such resting place, if it were not by the work of Our Most Holy Lady
of Casaysay; and this is what he responds.
-To the seventh question, he says that what he knows is that one day, on a Wednesday
in the afternoon, which is when this witness killed the said Juan Ynbin, and
later the following Sunday in the morning, he heard a lot of people say
that they had found the subject in the vault and spring of Casaysay;
and this is what he responds.
-To the eighth question, he said that he goes back to what he said and
declared in the fourth and sixth questions, and that he does not know
anything else asked in this question; and this is what he responds.
-To the ninth question, he said that he has seen the said Juan
Ynbin walking on his own without the assistance of another person
and without a staff. And it seems to this witness that he is out of danger, and this is what he responds.
-To the tenth question, he said that he does not know; and this is what he responds.
-To the eleventh question, he said that everything he has said is public knowledge, well-known, in the public opinion and truth, subject to the oath he had made,
and without breaking the rules of the law. He could not say his age. He looked
by his appearance to be of forty years old, more or less. And he signed it according to his custom,
with the said judge and translator.

que será un tiro de arcabuz fuera de la dicha fuerza. Y allí como i-
ban saliendo de dos en dos, este testigo y otros soldados ordenados
y mandados por el dicho castellano iban matando a los dichos sangleyes;
y aunque este testigo no mató al dicho Juan Ynbin vio que le dio
muerte Ambrosio Manalig, soldado de la dicha fuerza que estaba
junto a este testigo y que cayó muerto en tierra; como asimismo al pa-
recer de este testigo quedaron todos que eran veintinueve, los
cuales después de tendidos en el suelo por tales muertos los contó
el alcalde mayor de esta dicha provincia que se halló al ejecutar
lo susodicho; y esto responde.
-A la cuarta pregunta, dijo que como dicho tiene en la antecedente pregunta
vio matar conocidamente al dicho Juan Ynbin por mano del dicho Ambrosio
Manalig, el cual le dio con un machete grande que tenía por el
pescuezo, estando primero hincado de rodillas el dicho Juan Ynbin;
y esto responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo que después de muerto el dicho Juan Ynbin
y los demás sangleyes vio que lo metieron atravesado en una
banca, y a otro sangley, y lo echaron fuera de la barra de Bon-
bon; y este testigo estuvo en la playa hasta que embarcaron todos los
sangleyes muertos que iban con trompas y amarradas las manos
y de la manera que los mataron; y esto responde.
-A la sexta pregunta, dijo que le parece a este testigo que de donde
echaron a la mar al dicho Juan Ynbin y demás sangleyes hasta
las bóvedas donde dicen le hallaron habrá por tierra una hora
de camino al paso ordinario de una persona; y por el agua
algo menos. Y en cuanto a las heridas que el dicho Juan
Ynbin tenía, las vio este testigo después que de este pueblo de Casaysay
lo llevaron al de Taal a curarlas. Y según de ser todas tan pene-
trantes y que una sola de ellas bastaba a darle muerte, no se
persuade este testigo pudo el dicho Juan Ynbin naturalmente venir
por sus pies a las bóvedas y fuente donde fue hallado, sin particular

which is probably at the distance of an arquebus shot from the said fort. And there, as
they were going out, two by two, this witness and other soldiers under command and
under the orders of the said Castilian started killing the said Sangleys.
And although this witness did not kill the said Juan Ynbin, he saw that he was
killed by Ambrosio Manalig, a soldier of the said fort, who was
next to this witness and who fell dead on the ground, in the like that it
seems to this witness, that all were twenty nine. They
were on the ground and taken for dead when they were counted by
the main mayor of the said province, who was there to execute
the above mentioned. And this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, as he said in the earlier question
he saw that Juan Ynbin was killed by the hand of the said Ambrosio
Manalig, who struck him with a big machete, which he placed on his
neck, which the said Juan Ynbin was first kneeling down.
And this is what he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that after the said Juan Ynbin was dead
along with the other Sangleys. He saw how he was placed in a
bangka along with another Sangley whom were taken from the shore of
Bonbon. And this witness was on the beach until all of the
dead Sangleys were embarked. They had neck braces and their hands tied,
which is how they were killed. And this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, he said that it seems to this witness that from where
they [the said Juan Ynbin and the other Sangleys ] were thrown into the water up to the [location of the] vault where they found him, it takes about an hour to walk
on land at the normal pace of a person. And by water,
a bit less. And in terms of the injuries that the said Juan
Ynbin had, this witness saw them later in this town of Casaysay,
when they took him to Taal to heal them. And since they [the wounds] were all very
deep and only one of them should have been sufficient to kill him, it is not
possible for this witness to think that Juan Ynbin could have walked naturally
own his own to the vault and spring of water where he was found, without

al padre predicador fray Alonso Rodríguez, prior de este partido de
Taal, confesase a los dichos sangleyes cristianos y a los infieles que se
quisiesen volver cristianos a bautizarse, porque luego habían de morir todos. Y a-
cabados de confesar y bautizados algunos infieles, los saca-
ron de la dicha fuerza, amarrados como estaban de antes,
al lugar donde los mataron que será un tiro de arcabuz
fuera de la dicha fuerza; y esto responde.
-A la cuarta pregunta, dijo que no vio matar conocidamente
al dicho Juan Ynbin, porque este testigo estuvo en la puerta de
la dicha fuerza enviando los sangleyes que de ella salían de dos
en dos para el lugar donde los iban matando. Y que aunque
no vio la muerte que le dieron al dicho Juan Ynbin, le contó el sol-
dado que lo mató llamado Ambrosio Manalig, que le había dado dos
machetazos en el cerebro, uno encima de otro; y esto responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo que este testigo mandó a don Alonso
Calatang, su teniente, fuese al lugar donde estaban muertos
los dichos sangleyes y contase el número, que habían de ser veintinueve.
Y asistiese allí hasta embarcarlos en las bancas que este testigo te-
nía prevenidas, y que los llevasen buen trecho de la orilla y
barra del río de Bonbon y los echasen a la mar en quince
brazas, amarradas como estaban las manos y con sus trompas
al pescuezo. Y era en ocasión que la marea y viento era contrario
a tierra; y así tiene por cierto este testigo saldrían los dichos cuer-
pos muy a la mar afuera. Y la causa de no haber asistido este testigo
a lo susodicho y haberlo mandado a su teniente fue por estar ocupa-
do en despachar al dicho alcalde mayor para el pueblo de Taal; y esto
responde.

de donde mandó echar a la mar a los dichos sangleyes hasta donde

the Father Priest Fray Alonso Rodríguez, the prior of this district of
Taal, to make confession to the said Christian Sangleys and to the heathen ones who
wanted to become Christians offer baptism, because they were all going to die soon. And
after they were finished confessing and baptizing some heathens, they were
all taken out from the such fort, and tied up as they were before,
to the place where they were killed, which was about the distance of the shot of an arquebus
from the said fort. And this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, he said that he did not recognize the
said Juan Ynbin when he was killed, because this witness was at the door of
the said fort discharging the Sangleys two
by two, to the place where they were being killed. And although
he did not see the death given to the said Juan Ynbin, he heard from the
soldier who killed him, named Ambrosio Manalig, that he had given him two
machete blows in his brain, one on top of the other. And this is what he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that he sent Don Alonso
Calatang, his lieutenant, to go to the place where the
said dead Sangleys were and to count the number, which were twenty nine.
And that he should stay there until they were embarked in the bangkas that this witness
had gotten, and that they should be taken to a place far away from the shore and
the sandbank of the River Bonbon, and that they should throw them into the sea at the depth of fifteen
fathoms, with their hands tied as they were and with the braces
on their necks. And at this point, the tides and the winds were moving away from the
land. And this witness believes that the said
bodies were thrown very far at sea. And the reason why this witness was not present and sent his lieutenant was because he was
busy dispatching the mentioned chief mayor to the town of Taal. And this is what he responds.
-To the sixth question, he said that he thinks that the distance
from where he sent the Sangleys to be thrown into the sea up to the point where
they say that the said Juan Ynbin was found in the vault

en dos amarradas las manos y con las dichas trompas los llevaron
al lugar donde los iban matando, que era un tiro de arcabuz,

lugar donde los iban matando, se hincó de rodillas y bajando la
cabeza le dio un soldado indio llamado Ambrosio Manalig,
con el machete que en sus manos tenía, una herida en el pescuezo
de la cual vio este testigo que cayó luego en tierra el dicho Juan
Ynbin; y el dicho soldado le dio otra herida con el dicho machete
más arriba, y en el cerebro; y con el dicho machete le tiró de
punta y lo hizo sobre la tetilla derecha. Y otro indio soldado de
los que asimismo estaban dedicados para matar los dichos sangleyes
llegó al dicho Juan Ynbin, estando tendido en el suelo y mue-
rto, y le dio una lanzada con la lanza que tenía en las manos.
Y lo mismo iba haciendo en los demás cuerpos muertos; y esto responde.
-A la quinta pregunta, dijo que después de acabados de matar
los dichos sangleyes, el dicho castellano mandó a este testigo y a otros tres
indios soldados, que en dos bancas pequeñas que allí estaban
fuesen embarcando los sangleyes difuntos, y los llevasen buen
trecho de la orilla y barra del río de Bonbon, y los echa-
sen al mar en más de quince brazas de fondo, y así lo hicieron;
y que aunque este testigo no llevó él ni su compañero en la dicha su banca embarcado, vio embarcarlo en la otra banca y atravesado
en ella, ambas bancas cada una con dos cuerpos muertos
fueron bogando hasta donde el dicho castellano le había mandado.

was at the said fort, took confession from Juan Ynbin and
the other Christians and baptized some heathens. And, having finished, two by two
with their hands tied and with the said braces, they took them to the place were they
were killing them, which was at the shot of an arquebus, more or less, from the
said fort. And this is what he responds.
-To the fourth question, this witness said that he recognized at the time of the killing
the said Juan Ynbin, who after being taken to the
place where they were killing them, kneeled down and when he lowered
his head, an Indio soldier named Ambrosio Manalig
gave him with a machete that he had in his hands a wound on his
neck,
which this witness saw as the one that caused the said Juan
Ynbin to fall on the ground. And the said soldier gave him another wound with the said machete
higher up, and in his brain. And with the said machete, he pierced him
and he did it on his right breast. And another Indio soldier
who was likewise assigned to kill the the said Sangleys,
went where the said Juan Ynbin was while he was lying down on the ground
dead, and pierced him with a spear that he had in his hands.
And he did the same with the other dead bodies. And this is what he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that after he finished killing
the said Sangleys, the said Castilian ordered this witness and other three
Indio soldiers, to embark in two small bangkas that were there
the deceased Sangleys, and to take them far away from
the shore and the sandbank of the river Bonbon, and to
throw them into the sea at a depth of more than fifteen fathoms, and it is so what they did.
And although this witness or his partner did not go in the said bangka,
he saw how he was embarked in the other bangka and lying across it.
Both bangkas, each one with two dead bodies were taken
to the place where the said Castilian he ordered.
And having arrived to the said location this witness and his partner threw out in the sea
two Sangleys that they were taking in their bangka. And the same was done
by the others in the other bangka with two Sangleys that they were likewise taking.

Indio soldiers assigned to kill the said
Sangleys named Ambrosio Manalig, with a machete that he
had in his hands gave him two machete blows on his neck and
brain. From the first he fell to the ground the said Juan Ynbin,
and then, the said soldier pierced him with the point of the said
machete on his right breast. And likewise other soldiers that were
there were with spears to prod the dead Sangleys,
in case one of more were not at all dead. [If that was the case],
they finished killing with their spears. And even if they were
completely dead, they pierced them.
and so they did with the said Juan Ynbin on the
side. And this is what he responds.
-To the fifth question, he said that after having killed the said
Sangleys, who were twenty nine, as this
witness had counted to be dead (who were the same ones who left the
said fort), the Castilian ordered this witness
and other three Indio soldiers to put the dead Sangleys
in two bangkas. And [they ordered them] to
take them far away from the sandbank of the river Bonbon and
throw them out in the sea at the depth of fifteen fathoms. And so this witness
and his other mates did this. They embarked in
each bangka, [placing] two Sangleys across it (and with their
braces). And in the other bangka, this witness saw embarked and
lying through it the said Juan Ynbin. And [he was wearing] the brace with
which they were killed. And both bangkas with the said
dead bodies departed together. And where there was more of fifteen fathoms [of depth] the said
Sangleys were thrown out into the sea. And this witness saw the said
Juan Ynbin be thrown out into the sea with the same brace the Indios of
the bangka had on [their necks] [and] with which they were taken. And this is what he responds.
