[20] Fray José Galfarroso (or Halfarroso de la Trinidad, as his name
is given in Reseña biográfica) made his profession September 10,
1664. Upon his arrival at the Philippines in 1671, he was assigned
to the Cagayan field, where he held various posts, and where most if
not all of his missionary labors were passed. He died, probably in
Cagayan, early in 1700. See ut supra, ii, pp. 160, 161.
[21] Fray Juan de Santo Domingo was born in 1640 near Calatayud,
and professed in the convent of Ocaña October 22, 1661. He went
to the Philippines in 1666, his first two years being occupied in
duties in Manila. Assigned to the province of Pangasinan, he labored
there for eighteen years, and exercised various duties. In 1682 he
was chosen definitor, and in 1686 he was transferred to the Manila
convent. He was the real founder of the Beaterio of Santa Catalina de
Sena, and ordained its rules July 26, 1696, while provincial. During
his term as provincial he also organized the tertiary branch of his
order. After his term as provincial he was appointed vicar of the
beatas and president of the college of San Juan de Letrán. In 1702 he
was again elected prior of Manila convent, and because of the death
of the provincial exercised the duties of that office, to which he
was regularly elected again in 1706. At the end of his second term he
again took up his duties as head of the beaterio and college. Besides
the above posts and offices he was also commissary of the Holy Office
and definitor in the chapters of 1682 and 1716. His death occurred
at Manila, January 15, 1726. See Reseña biográfica, ii, pp. 26-34.

died at Fotol in the beginning of 1710. See Reseña biográfica, ii,
pp. 249, 250.
[25] Fray Vicente del Riesgo was a native of San Félix de Valdesoto. On
arriving at the Philippines at the age of twenty-six, he was assigned
to the Cagayan field where he spent the rest of his life (with the
exception of a brief period spent in Manila as prior of that convent,
and master of novitiates), and where he occupied various posts. He
died in Cabagan, June 24, 1724. See Reseña biográfica, ii, pp. 440-446.
