[91] Cristobal Pedroche made his profession at Toledo, January 22, 1659, and arrived in the Philippines in 1667. He spent many years in labors among the Chinese, in the Parian and San Gabriel; and at various times filled high offices in his order--among them, that of provincial. In June, 1684, he was imprisoned at Cavite, and afterward sent to Mexico; but the viceroy permitted him to return to the Philippines. He died at Manila on August 20, 1715, at the age of seventy. See sketch of his life in Resena biografica, ii, pp. 82-100--which includes a letter by him (June 20, 1684) on the ecclesiastical disturbances of that time. [92] Juan de (Ibanez) Santo Domingo was born (about 1640) near Calatayud. His early education was obtained in a Dominican convent at Zaragoza, and he was afterward a member of the household of Bishop Palafox y Mendoza. Later, he entered the Dominican convent at Ocana, where he made profession in 1661. At the age of twenty-six he came to the Philippines, and spent eighteen years in the missions of Pangasinan. After 1686, he lived at Manila, being twice provincial (1690 and 1706), and occupying other important posts. He died there January 15, 1726. (Resena biografica, ii, pp. 26-34.) [93] Francisco Antonio de Bargas, a native of Madrid, professed in the Dominican convent at Salamanca, in 1673, at the age of nineteen. Six years later, he arrived at the Philippines. The first nine years he spent in Manila, mainly as a teacher in Santo Tomas; from 1688 to 1696, he labored in the missions of Bataan, and afterward in those of Zambales--except 1698-1702, which he spent at Manila. He died there, on October 7, 1708. (Resena biografica, ii, pp. 219, 220.) [94] Antonio Calderon professed in the Dominican convent at Salamanca (in 1664, erroneously says Resena), and came to the Philippines in 1658. He labored in the Cagayan missions until 1682, when he was elected provincial. He, with Fray Pedroche was arrested on June 3, 1684, and sent to Mexico. Thence he returned to Spain, and died at Mombeltran, at the end of December, 1685. [95] Alluding to General Marcos Quintero, a friend of the Dominicans, who at his death (1703) appointed Fray Bartolome Marron (note 90, ante) executor of his estate. This led to a notable lawsuit, brought against Marron by the heirs of Quintero, which was appealed to Mexico and even to Rome; the proceedings continued for many years, the suit coming to an end only in 1726, nine years after Marron's death. (See Resena biografica, ii, pp. 151-154.) "Barangay," as used here, is evidently a bit of slang meaning "gang" or "clique," in modern phrase. [96] From the context, esto here seems to designate the former governor, Vargas.
