nitor in 1614, as prior of Manila in 1618, and as provincial in 1623. He died at the age of seventy-eight, on March 22, 1637. He compiled a grammar and dictionary in Bisayan dialects. See Perez's _Catalogo_, pp. 53-55. [26] For sketches of these religious, see Perez's _Catalogo_. [27] Juan Enriquez was a professed religious of the Toledo convent. After going to the Philippines he labored in San Pablo de los Montes in 1607, in Taal in 1608, and in Malate in 1611. He was definitor in 1617, and visitor and provincial in 1620. In 1625 he went to Spain as procurator, and died there in 1631. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 77. [28] Fray Juan de Villalobos was a conventual in Panay in 1593, prior of Santo Nino de Cebu in 1599, first prior of the convent of Guadalupe in 1602 and 1605, and later visitor and definitor. He died in 1620. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 45. [29] Fray Pedro Garcia Serrano, a native of the town of Chinchon, in the province of Madrid, took his vows in the province of Castilla. He had considerable reputation as an orator, and was given the title of master in sacred theology some time after his arrival at the islands in 1613. He filled many posts in the order, among them that of vicar-provincial, definitor (1629), and prior of Guadalupe (1624-1629), as well as that of commissary of the Inquisition and _calificador_ of the Holy Office in the archbishopric of Manila. He died in Mexico in 1631, while on a voyage to Spain, having been appointed definitor of the general chapter and commissary-procurator. He wrote some moral sermons in the Pampanga dialect, while exercising the care of missions in that province. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 90.

He afterward served in a number of Pampanga villages, and died in that of Minalin in 1640. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 70.
