The one who was discussed least was our father Baraona, for he was always humble by nature, and very free from pretensions, as he always thought of himself with great humility. But, as our Lord regarded him as provincial, He so managed affairs that votes were cast in his favor without special effort, and he was elected as provincial. On the last of October, then, endeavor was made, since there was nothing to do, to have the voting fathers return to their provinces and that the good of the province should be attempted, after deciding on a far-reaching reformation; for our father Baraona had excellent intentions, and to judge from these, it is to be believed that he would direct all things in the sight of God. In his own person he visited the province of Bisayas, which, as it was his own, he regarded with especial love. That visit was not a small exploit, when one considers the voyage. He always traveled at small expense, going in a champan, like any other and very ordinary religious. He was the one who sent most religious to Espana. Among them were the father visitor, Fray Agustin Mejia, who, arriving afterward at Peru, was there adopted and esteemed as his zeal and devotion deserved; the father definitor, father Fray Felipe Tallada; father Fray Andres de Ocampo, prior of Macabebe; father Fray Baltasar Andres; and father Fray Francisco de Cuellar. All died except father Fray Felipe Tallada, who afterward returned to the province of Pampanga, where he was a fine linguist. In the following year of 1618, with these religious he sent father Fray Alonso del Rincon (then prior of the convent of Manila) to Espana as procurator, in order to give account of the affair in Espana; and to bring back religious, for death was rapidly thinning the ranks of those who remained. He had good success, as we shall see.
