[al margen izquierdo] Testimonio
Yo, Alonso Márquez, escribano público de esta provincia de Bala-
yan, doy fe y verdadero testimonio a los que el presente vieren,
cómo ayer que se contaron once de este presente mes y año, tra-
jeron unos indios a este pueblo de Taal, un sangley cristia-
no llamado Juan Ynbin, cantero que trabajaba en la igle-
sia de Nuestra Señora de Caysasay [sic], uno de los que dicen ha-
ber muerto con otros sangleyes en la fuerza de Bonbon el
miércoles que se contaron siete días de este dicho mes; al cual y me-
diante Agustín Sico, sangley cristiano, intérprete, le pregun-
tó en mi presencia y de los testigos que abajo irán declarados,
el padre prior fray Alonso Rodríguez, que lo es de este convento
de Taal, de cuyo pedimento fue traído a este dicho pueblo
la causa de estar vivo y halládole el sábado en la noche,
que se contaron diez de este dicho mes, junto a las bóvedas de pie-
dra do está el agua que llaman de Nuestra Señora de Casasay,
las cuales están cerca de su iglesia. Dijo que lo que sabe
y se acuerda es que a él y a otros sangleyes cristianos e infieles
prendieron para matarlos. Y que antes él se había confesado
con el dicho padre prior, y encomendado muy de veras a Nuestra
Señora de Casasay, pidiéndole le librase de la muerte. Lo sacaron
de la dicha fuerza amarradas las manos y con una trompa, co-
mo a los demás. Y le llevaron a la playa que era el lugar
donde los mataron, y a él le dieron de machetazos y lanzadas,
y siempre llamando a la Virgen hasta que quedó allí y no sabe
si lo echaron a la mar o lo que de él hicieron. Pero le parece lo
despertaron aquella noche de un sueño, y se halló en la mar,
encima de las aguas en una hoja blanca, y que no sabe qué ho-
ja fuese. Y vio una niña pequeña del tamaño de Nuestra Se-
ñora de Caysasay, muy resplandeciente, y vio que tiraba
de la dicha hoja hacia la playa. Y dice vio caimanes y otros
géneros de peces que se iban apartando por donde iba aque-
lla niña. Y al cuarto del alba llegó a la playa que llaman
de Mahayay, que es debajo de las palmillas que están en el mon-
te, antes de llegar al pueblo de Sinisian, y allí se quedó sin sen-
tido y no vio el día. Y de allí, volviendo otra vez en sí, vio a la misma
niña que le había sacado de las aguas, y le dijo se volviese a Caysasay [sic]
a trabajar en la obra que estaba haciendo. Y le respondió no sa-
bía el camino, y ella le guió hasta donde estaba el pueblo de Bonbon,
donde dice se volvió a quedar sin sentido. Y volviendo en sí, vio otra
vez a la dicha niña que lo guiaba y le pasó de la otra banda del

[on the left margin] Testimony
I, Alonso Márquez, public notary of this province of
Balayan, I attest to my faith and give true testimony to those who will see this,
of how yesterday, the eleventh of this month [December] and year,
some Indios brought to this town of Taal a Christian Sangley
named Juan Ynbin, a stonemason who worked in the
church of Our Lady of Caysasay. He is one of the ones who they say was
killed with the other Sangleys in the fort of Bonbon on
Wednesday, on the seventh of this month. He,
through Agustín Sico, Christian Sangley translator, was asked
in my presence and the witnesses named below [and]
the Father Prior Alonso Rodríguez, who is in charge of this convent
of Taal, who requested that he be brought to this town
due to the cause of being alive and being found on Saturday night,
which was the tenth of this month near the stone vault,
where the spring of water, known as Our Lady of Casaysay's,
which is very close to his church. [Ynbin] said what he knows
and remembers that he and other Christian and heathen Sangleys
were taken to be killed. And that he had made confession
with the said Father Prior and entrusted himself very truthfully to Our
Lady of Casasay, asking her to deliver him from death. They took him out
of the said fort with his hands tied and with a neck brace,
as all the other ones, and they took him to the shore that was the place
where they killed them. And they struck him with machetes and pierced him with pikes,
while throughout he called on our Lady until he was left there. And he does not know
if they threw him to the sea or what they did with him. But it appears to him that they
woke him up that night from a dream. And he was at sea,
floating on the water on a white leaf. He does not know what kind of
leaf it is. And he saw a small girl of the size of Our
Lady of Caysasay, very resplendent, and saw her pulling
from the leaf towards the shore. And he says that he saw caimans and other
types of fish, which moved away from the way of that
little girl. And a quarter before dawn he arrived on a shore they call
of Mahayay, which is beneath the little palms that are on the
mountain, before arriving to the town of Sinisian. There he lost his
consciousness and missed the daylight. And after that, he came back to his senses, and saw the same
girl that had taking him out of the waters, and she told him that he had to return to Caysasay
to labor on the work that he had been doing. And he responded to her that he did not
know the way back. And she guided him up to the place where he was in the town of Bonbon,
where he says that he lost consciousness once again. And returning to his senses, he saw again
the said girl, who guided him and took him over to the other side of
