were returning from Oton had agreed to pass through some
little islands which are opposite Quipit; and that those going to
Cebu were to go from Similon, which is opposite Dapitan; and that
they were to return that way. This was his answer.

When he was asked how he knew this that he had said, he replied that
it was generally known and reported among the chiefs of Sanbuangan
and among the Lutaos.

He was asked what agreement Liguana had made with the chiefs of Tagima
and Sanbuangan, and what he said to them against the Spaniards. He
replied that the aforesaid Liguana had ordered the chiefs and the
Lutaos to be assembled together, and in readiness, along with the
Mindanaos, against the Spaniards. This was his answer.

He was asked how many days it would be before the fleet would set out
for Pintados; and he replied that the fleet was ready in Mindanao,
and that he had heard that it was to start shortly, within ten days,
and that five of these had passed. This was his answer.

He was asked other questions in regard to the matter, and he replied
that what he had said was the truth; and he affirmed this and ratified
it. He did not sign this, but Agustin de Sepulbeda signed it.
