Excerpt from The Philippine Islands 1493-1898, Vol. 48: Explorations by Early Navigators, Descriptions of the Islands and Their Peoples, Their History and Records of the Catholic Missions, as Related in Contemporaneous Books and Manuscripts; 1751-1765
In a rare pamphlet published at Manila in 1755, apparently written by one of the Jesuit missionaries in Leyte, are enumerated various instances when the raids of Moro pirates against the Visayan villages in 1754 are repulsed by the natives, under the direction of their spiritual guides; and one of these, the de tense of Palompong, is related at length. An official report (in ms.) made by the Augustinian provincial (1760) shows the parishes and missions then in charge of his order in the Philippines, with the pcpu lation (classified as to sex, age, etc.) of each one.
