[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

donde vio otros sangleyes ya muertos que habían sacado de la dicha Fuerza antes de sacarle a él. Y este declarante se hincó de rodillas y bajó la ca-
beza, y un indio con un machete que tenía en las manos
le dio con él en el pescuezo, y no se acuerda de más. Y le parece a
este declarante 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 hoja fuese; y vio una niña pequeña, al parecer de la estatura
de Nuestra Señora de Caysasay, muy resplandeciente, que tiraba de la
dicha hoja hasta la playa. Y vio caimanes y otros géneros de peces que
se iban apartando por donde iba aquella niña. Y al cuarto del
alba llegó a la playa que llaman de Mahayahay, que es debajo de
las palmillas que están en el monte antes de llegar al pueblo de
Sinisián. Y allí se quedó sin sentido, 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 Casaysay a trabajar en la obra
que estaba haciendo. Y este declarante le respondió no sabía el cami-
no. Y ella le guió hasta donde estaba el pueblo de Bonbon, donde este
declarante se volvió a quedar sin sentido. Y volviendo en sí, vio
otra vez a la dicha niña en alto que le guiaba y le pasó el río de Bon-
bon a pie enjuto, y lo trajo al paraje donde lo hallaron, bajándole
por una cuesta que está en un lado de las dichas bóvedas sin ca-
mino alguno, por estar acantilada y llena de arboleda espesa. Y
allí sintió el dolor de las heridas, lo cual no había sentido antes. Y que
así como llegó a las dichas bóvedas no vio más a la dicha niña. Y querien-
do este declarante levantarse para ir al pueblo que está junto a dichas
bóvedas no pudo menearse, hasta que llegó un indio a bañarse
y le pidió por señas le diese una poca de aquella agua santa.
La cual le dio a beber, y luego se sintió con más vigor y pudo ha-
blar. Y el dicho indio con otro que llamó trajeron a este declarante
a este dicho pueblo de Casaysay, donde se halló con cuatro heridas, las dos grandes
en el pescuezo y las otras dos sobre la tetilla derecha, y la otra más
abajo en el costado. Y que de todas dichas heridas cuando le sacaron

he saw the other Sangleys who were already dead, and who they had taken out from the said
fort before they took him out. And this witness kneeled down and lowered his
head and an Indio with a machete in his hands
struck him with it on his neck, and he does not remember any more. And
this witness thinks that he was awakened that night from a dream, and
he found himself on the waters, on top of a white leaf. And he does not
know what kind of leaf it was. And he saw a small girl, who looked to be the height
of Our Lady of Casaysay, very resplendent, who pulled the
said leaf to the shore. And he saw caimans and other types of fish that
moved away from the path of that girl. And a quarter before
dawn he arrived on the beach they call Mahayahay, which is below
the little palm trees that are in the mountain before arriving to the town of
Sinisián. And, there, he lost consciousness and did not see the day. And
returning to his senses, he saw the same girl that had taking him out of
the water, and she told him to return to Casaysay to labor on the work
he was doing. And this witness responded to her that he did not know
the way. And she guided him to the place where the town of Bonbon was, where this
witness lost his consciousness again. And coming back to his senses, he saw
again the said girl up on high who was guiding him and took him over the river
Bonbon without getting wet. And she brought him to the resting place where he was found. She brought him down the slope that is
on one side of the said vault without any
path because it is on a cliff and heavy with groves. And
there he felt the pain of his wounds, which he had not felt before. And
[he said] that when he arrived at the said vault, he no longer saw the said girl. And
wanting this witness to get up to go to the town that is next to the said
vault he could not move, until an Indio arrived to bath [there]
and he asked him by means of signs for a little bit of that holy water.
[The Indio] gave him some to drink, and he then felt more energy and could
speak. And the said Indio along with another one he called brought this witness
to the said town of Casaysay, where he was found with four wounds, the two big ones
in his neck and the other two on his right breast, and the other one
below on his side. And [he said] that of all the said wounds
