[22] Fray Francisco de Bonifacio, a native of Sevilla, took his vows in
the Salamanca convent in 1586. He was fluent in the language of Cebu,
and labored in various missions among the Bisayas (1596-1611). The
latter year he was chosen definitor, and in 1614 presided over the
chapter. He was minister at Pasig in 1617, at Tondo in 1618, and at
Bulacan in 1620. In 1621 he went to Oton, as his presence there was
necessary. In 1626, while definitor, he acted as provincial because
of the death of Father Becerra, after which period he had care of
missions in Luzon, until his death in Manila in 1645. Two manuscripts
written by him
