of Cuenca, September 13, 1610. He entered the Society March 23, 1628, went to the Philippines in 1632, and took his final vows, January 21, 1649. He was a missionary in Mindanao and the Visayan Islands, and rector of Carigara and Cebu. While going to Rome as procurator, he died at sea (January 23, 1660), near Acapulco. (Combes, Pastells and Retana ed., col. 694.) [36] This chief is called timoly by the Subanos; hari-hari by the Mandayas; masali campo, by the Monteses; matado, by the Manobos; bagani, by the Bagobos; and dato and sultan by the Mahometans and Moros. (Pastells and Retana's Combes, col. 655.) [37] The so-called Dapitan nation was a Visayan tribe and lived in Mindanao in the present comandancia of Dapitan in the province of Misamis. Strictly speaking they can be called a distinct tribe with no greater accuracy than can the Caragas. See Blumentritt's Tribes of the Philippines (Mason's translation); and Pastells and Retana's Combes, col. 779. [38] Baclayon is a village on the extreme southwest coast of Bohol. Loboc is a village of southern Bohol, and two miles inland. (Philippine Gazetteer.) [39] The Portuguese had discovered the Moluccas before Magallanes set out on his memorable voyage in 1519. See Vol. XXXIV, pp. 39, 153. [40] The text which we follow reads "y quan a fauor de sus nueuas." "Nueuas" may possibly be a misprint for "navios," in which case the phrase would read "how much at the mercy of their ships." [41] Even yet infidels abandon a house in which the head of the family has died. Father Pastells says that while crossing the island of Mindanao with Father Heras in 1878, one Salug died in the house of Silungan, a freedman recently redeemed by the said missionaries. He was baptised before death by Father Pastells. Silungan demanded from the religious the value of the house, which he proposed to abandon. The fathers, however, answered him that since the freedman had died with baptism, the house was purified. This satisfied the heathens, and they did not insist on their demand. (Pastells and Retana's edition of Combes, note 13, col. 655.) [42] This refers to Legazpi's and not Magallanes's expedition. Pagbuaya made friendship with the former, and gave him a pilot to guide him to the inland of Panglao. In book two of Combes's Historia, chapter II, is related rightly the occurrence with regard to the king of Borneo, after the arrival of Legazpi. Combes says that the Dapitans imagined tha
