s first to the island of Maribeles,
a small jurisdiction in charge of a Spaniard, who is corregidor and
serves also as sentinel. Its villages are in charge of discalced
Augustinian religious, with the exception of that of Maragondon and
its subordinate villages, which are in charge of religious of the
Society of Jesus.

Leaving the bay, and pursuing the same voyage made by the ships that
go to Nueva Espana, on the left and some fourteen leguas from Cavitte
is the jurisdiction of Balayan or Bombon, located on a small lake
which bears that name. It has an alcalde-mayor; most of its villages
are in charge of seculars, and the others, of calced religious of
St. Augustine.

Opposite the said jurisdiction and to the right, lie the islands of
Mindoro and Luban, which are in charge of secular priests. They have
an alcalde-mayor, to whom belongs also the island of Marinduque,
which is in charge of fathers of the Society of Jesus.

Traveling along the other side of the land of Manila, [22] one
encounters the jurisdiction of Bulacan, which is but small, and is
administered by religious of the calced Augustinians--as also is the
jurisdiction of Panpanga, which is large and fertile, and contains
many large villages.

Fourteen or fifteen leguas past the island of Mindoro to the southwest,
are the islands called Calamianes, which number about seventeen. They
are small and most of them now subdued; and they lie between the
island of Mindoro and that called Paragua, which is the third of the
said Philipinas Islands in size. [23] A small portion of the latter
island is subject to the Spaniards; it is one hundred and fifty leguas
in circumference, and its greatest latitude is nineteen degrees.

In the islands called Calamianes is located an alcalde-mayor with
a small presidio, as it lies opposite the Camucones enemy. The
administration of all those islands, and of that called Cuio, is in
charge of discalced Augustinian religious.

Bishopric of Cagayan or Nueva Segovia

The city where the seat of the bishopric is located is called Nueva
Segovia. It has a Spanish presidio and its fort, whose castellan
is the alcalde-mayor of that jurisdiction. It is in charge of one
secular cura. The religious of St. Dominic have a convent in the said
city. The jurisdiction is about eighty leguas long and forty wide. All
the province of Cagayan is in charge of religious of St. Dominic except
the village and port of Viga, which is in charge of
