[86] The Tagacaolos are closely related to the Bagobos. The word is probably derived from "olo," meaning "head," and thus "source" (of a river), the particle ka, "toward," and the prefix taga. The entire word thus means "people who go up toward the source of the river," to distinguish them from the "Tagabawa," people who live in the lowlands, bawa meaning "down," the "region low down." See Census of Philippines, i, pp. 462, 476. [87] This promise was fulfilled June 21 of the same year, and the letter is given in the Cartas, pp. 93-111. [88] i. e., The district ruled over by a dato. [89] The pagatpat (Sonneratia), called also palapad and palatpat, is frequently found along the beaches. It grows to the height of twenty feet or so. Its wood is strong and is used in ordinary construction. The fruit is very sour and a vinegar is made from it. See Blanco, pp. 296, 297. [90] Pedro Rosell, S. J., was born at Lérida September 4, 1849, and entered his novitiate in the Society of Jesus, October 2, 1878, being already a priest. He went to the Philippines in 1880, and died in Caraga, January 4, 1888. See Sommervogel's Bibliothèque. [91] This mission belongs to the district of Misámis. [92] i.e., From my inmost heart. [93] i.e., We have labored in vain. [94] The bayog (Pterospermum hastatum) is often found along the Batangas beach and in other places. Oars are made of the wood which is soft and light. See Blanco, pp. 367, 368. [95] See citation of these verses and brief description of the sacrifice by Pablo Pastells, in VOL. XII, p. 270, note 83. [96] It is difficult to believe that this eloquent passage was written so recently as 1885. It furnishes a striking proof of the medievalism of thought that persevered even among the Jesuits--a medievalism that is not yet, unfortunately, entirely eliminated from the Christian sects, both Catholic and Protestant. This same thought prevails throughout the document.
