In greater or less detail are discussed affairs in the islands - civil, military, and religious, in which all the various ramifications of each estate are touched upon. Reforms, both civil and religious, are urged and ordered ; and trade and commerce, and general economic and social conditions pervade all the docu- ments. The efforts of Dutch, English, French, Portu- guese, and Spanish in eastern waters are a portent of coming struggles for supremacy in later times. Japan, meditating on the closed door to Europeans, though still permitting the Dutch to trade there, con- tinues to persecute the Christians, while that persecu- tion is, on the other hand, lessening in violence in China. The piracies of the Moros endanger the is- lands, and allow the Dutch to hope for alliance with them against the Spaniards; and the importance of the islands to Spain is urged forcibly. A letter addressed by Los Rios Coronel to the king (probably in 1620) urges that prompt aid be sent to Filipinas for its defense against the Dutch and Eng- lish who threaten its coasts. To it he adds an outline " treatise on the navigation of Filipinas," which sus- tains his demand by forcible arguments. The rich Oriental trade amounts to five millions of pesos a IO THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS [Vol. 19 year, which mainly goes to sustain the Dutch and their allies, the enemies of Spain, whose commerce they will utterly destroy unless some check is placed on their audacity; and the effectual method of doing this is to deprive them of that trade. An armed ex- pedition for the relief of the islands is being prepared by the king; it should be despatched via the Cape of Good Hope, and all possible efforts should be made to drive out the Dutch and English from the Eastern seas. Los Rios proposes that for this purpose loans be asked from wealthy persons in Nueva Espana and Peru ; and that the vessels needed be built in India. He makes recommendations for the routes and equip- ment of the vessels, both going and returning; and for the seasons best for sailing. A letter from Francisco de Otago, S.J. (January 14, 1620), mentions various arrangements fpr the despatch of more missionaries to the islands, and laments the recent loss of a fleet sent to the aid of the Philippine colony. A royal decree of May 29 in the same year orders the governor and Audiencia to correct the religious who have levied on the Indians exactions of forced service. The Jesuit chronicler of events in 1619 continues the record for the year ending July, 1620. Some account of the war waged by the Chinese and the Tartars is given. The persecution of the Christians in China has slackened, and the authorities of that country are more favorable to the Jesuit missionaries there. But in Japan the persecution continues, and the college at Macao is crowded with Jesuits who are disappointed in their efforts to enter Japan. Let- ters from Jesuits in that country enumerate many martyrdoms, of both missionaries and their converts, 1620-1621] PREFACE II and describe their holy zeal and faith in suffering death. The authorities and influential men of Japan consider it well to harbor the Dutch there, and even talk of conquering the Philippines, in order to get rid of the Spaniards ; but it is rumored that they also contemplate the expulsion of all Europeans from Japan. In the Malucas " there is constant strife be- tween the English and the Hollanders," and the French are obtaining a foothold. Portuguese India has but inadequate means of defense against the Dutch and other foes. An interesting and pictur- esque account is given of the religious fiestas held in Manila to celebrate the festival of the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary; the chief features are processions, dramatic representations, dances, fireworks, etc. - to say nothing of the bull-fights and masquerades of the laity. Fearful earthquakes, with considerable loss of life, have occurred in the islands, especially in Ilocos and Cagayan of Luzon ; they are ascribed to the influence of the comets seen in the pre- ceding year. The commerce of Manila is increas- ing; rich cargoes arrive there from all parts of the world; and Manila is a magnificent city, surpassed by few in Europe. A letter from the Franciscan, Pedro de Sant Pablo (August 7, 1620), calls upon the king to abolish the repartimientos of forced service and supplies levied upon the Indians for shipbuilding and other public works by the colonial authorities. He recounts the oppression, cruelty, and enslavement caused by this practice; and in the name of both the Spaniards and the Indians he asks that the repartimientos be com- muted for certain payments of money, in proportion to the means of each household. 12 THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS [Vol. 19 The Audiencia of Manila send to the king (Au- gust 8, 1620) a roll of complaints against Governor Fajardo. They accuse him of abusive and violent language toward the auditors, and arbitrary conduct in both sentencing and releasing prisoners; and of granting certain illegal appointments and privileges to the friends and relatives of himself and the royal officials. His conduct of an expedition made ready to repel the Dutch from the islands is sharply criti- cised ; covert attack is made on him as defrauding the treasury by the sale of Indian orders, and allowing reckless expenditures of the public moneys ; and he is blamed for failing to enforce the regulations as to the sale of the Chinese goods. Fajardo sends a long report of affairs to the king (August 15, 1620). The coming of the ships this year was delayed; and by storms and an encounter with the Dutch both were wrecked - but on Philip- pine coasts, which enabled them to save the rich cargo. As the Dutch failed to secure this prize, they have lost in prestige, while the Spaniards have gained accordingly. A marginal note here, apparently the reply of the Council of the Indias to this clause of Fajardo's letter, censures him for allowing the ships to leave Manila so late, and warns him to send them hereafter promptly, and not overladen. He is also directed to remonstrate with the Japanese officials who are aiding the Dutch with arms and other sup- plies ; and to strive to break up their friendship with the Dutch. Fajardo proceeds to say that he is equip- ping the ships for both the outward and return voy- ages with various supplies, to avoid the greater expense of buying these in Nueva Espafia; and for the same object is asking the viceroy of that country 1620-1621] PREFACE 13 to make no unnecessary repairs on the ships. He complains of the reckless and arbitrary proceedings of the officials in charge of the ships at Acapulco. He is advised by the Council to send them a detailed statement of all matters in which unnecessary expense can be avoided. Fajardo recounts his difficulties with the viceroy of Nueva Espana over the appoint- ments to offices in the trading fleet, and with the pre- tensions of certain Philippine residents who claim rewards and appointments without meriting these. He complains that the troops just arrived from Nueva Espana are mostly " boys, mestizos, and mu- lattoes, with some Indians;" the viceroy is directed to send better and more effective soldiers to Filipinas hereafter. Fajardo is uncertain how far he can de- pend on aid from the viceroy; and he proposes that those troops and supplies be sent to him from Spain by way of Panama, enumerating the advantages and enconomy of that plan over the present one.

Bootsma, Ruurdje Laarhoven, M.P.H. Roessingh and Fr. P. Schreurs, MSC - have confined themselves to small regions or periods. The recent commemoration of the first Dutch cir- cumnavigation of the globe by Olivier van Noort demonstrated the lack of an up-to-date overview of the ups and downs in Dutch-Philippine relations in the course of the past four centuries. This may not seem surprising, consider- ing the absence of a history of intense, continuous contact. The two sides started with a drawn-out contest, followed by nearly three centuries of little connection, and only fifty years of significant flows of trade, people, trans- port and information. The year 1600 was a remarkable one for the emerging Dutch nation, which had been fighting for its independence from Spain since 1568. A major battle was won at Nieuwpoort, while in Asia two small fleets ventured beyond Java, then newly 'discovered' by Cornelis de Houtman (1595-96). The expedition of the Liefde (Love) resulted in long-lasting trade relations with Japan, with the Dutch obtaining an import and export monopoly through their factory at Deshima.

  • Dutch Relations with the Philippines: a Survey of Sources in the General State Archives, the Hague, Netherlands
    DUTCH RELATIONS WITH THE PHILIPPINES: A SURVEY OF SOURCES IN THE GENERAL STATE ARCHIVES, THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS M. P. H. ROESSINGH Introduction FEW ASIAN COUNTRIES CAN BOAST OF A SOURCE PUBLICA- tion comparable with The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, as regards the wide scope of the work and the minuteness of its annotations. 1 Not only printed sources we find here in an English translation, but also a great number of documents selected from Spanish and other archives. Vol. 53, "Bibliography", contains surveys of manuscripts, partly pu- blished in the foregoing volumes, and also an enumeration of the diverse archives and libraries which hold important documentary material. Dutch institutions have not been studied for this purpose, but there are some re- marks about the location of material in the Netherlands. Under "Other European Collections" we read: "A letter from the Director of the Nether- lands archives at the Hague reports that there is no distinctive section of the archives devoted to the Philippine MSS. Most of the papers are written in the Dutch language, and many treat of the Dutch expeditions to the Orient and the Dutch Oriental possessions. It is quite probable that many MS'I oc the Eac;t Indies contain references to the Philippines." 2 Indeed the archives of the United East Indies Company are very rich in documents relating to the Philippines, but these are hidden for the most part between papers treating the Dutch East Indies proper. For the period up to 1800 the collection of foreign maps is also interesting, whereas the archives of the Ministries of the Colonies and of Foreign Affairs from the period of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (1813- ..

  • The Castilians Discover Siam: Changing Visions and Self-Discovery
    THE CASTILIANS DISCOVER SIAM: CHANGING VISIONS AND SELF-DISCOVERY Florentino ~odao' Abstract Iberians were the first people in Europe to interact directly with Siam. Centuries elapsed between the time the first information about Siam was received in the Iberian Peninsula and the period when their rulers perceived this Asian territory in a more or less coherent framework. This work studies the changes in their perception of the Kingdom of Siarn as it evolved from the earliest mythical references, in a long process that was neither uniform nor reliant merely on the receipt of data. Focusing on these early perceptions, this study notes the Iberians' different reactions to this new knowledge, the role of individuals and how the parallelprocess of their own budding national identities affected theoutcome. Introduction The Castilians and Portuguese shared similar conceptions about the "Far East" in the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance they were in a privileged position to obtain deeper knowledge about the territories in that region, their rulers and forms of government. Due to the great navigations, they established direct contact. After the Portuguese settled in Malacca in 1511 and the Castilians in the Philippines in 1565, those contacts became frequent. Hence the medieval cognitive framework used to interpret data related to Siarn was replaced by the Iberians earlier than by other Europeans. But this external process coincided with an internal evolution of the Iberians' own identities, both as individuals and as members of a society. Natural curiosity to learn about new lands and peoples, coupled with advances in science, navigation and travel, made many question traditional Christian beliefs about the world created by God for the first time.

  • Overview of the Spaniards in Taiwan (1626‐1642)
    1 西班牙人在台灣活動考述 (1626‐1642) An overview of the Spaniards in Taiwan (1626‐1642) 鮑曉鷗教授 Professor José Eugenio Borao 台灣大學外文系 National Taiwan University Foreign Languages and Literature The Spaniards stayed in Taiwan in the 17th century for only 16 years. In such a short time they did few things and left behind little influence in the island when they left (a huge fortress, some place names, more than one thousand converts, etc.). But if we see them exploring their own self-consciousness, we can think that their presence was a metaphor of the decline of the Spanish Empire, which became a secondary power after the treaties of Westphalia in 1648. In this paper I would like to present, first, an introduction of all the driving forces that brought the Spaniards to Taiwan; second, the encounter that they had with the Chinese, focusing particularly in the parian of Manila and the small parians of Quelang and Tamchui, and finally how the idea of law was very much present in the official self-consciousness: on their arrival by “justifying” the conquest, and on their departure by looking for the responsibilities of the defeat. I will focus in the ideology behind one of the most important trials ever held in Manila, the one against the Governor General Corcuera, accused of being the ultimate culprit of the loss of the Spanish garrison of Quelang (present Jilong). Spaniards in Taiwan, Spaniards and Chinese in the 17th century, The parians of Isla Hermosa, Corcuera’s trial. Introduction The arrival of the Spaniards in the East was motivated by their search for easy access to the Spice Islands.

  • Una Historia De Filipinas En Versos Decimonónicos
    Revista Filipina • Primavera 2015 • Vol. 2, Número 2 RF UNA HISTORIA DE FILIPINAS EN VERSOS DECIMONÓNICOS JUAN HERNÁNDEZ HORTIGÜELA Asociación Cultural Galeón de Manila I. DESCRIpcIÓN DEL MANUSCRITO Con ocasión de mis habituales investigaciones de la historia filipina, tuve la fortuna de encon- trarme con dos curiosos documentos manuscritos, versificados; uno correspondiente a una Histo- ria de las Islas Filipinas y el otro a Geografía Física de las Islas Filipinas, en el Archivo de la Provincia de Toledo de la Compañía de Jesús: [E-2:95 bis/10bis (10-1) Leg. 1466]. Se trata de breves y diferentes composiciones, escritas por diferentes autores, dada su dis- tinción caligráfica, que relatan aquellos acontecimientos y datos de mayor relevancia, a juicio de sus autores, tanto de la historia como de la geografía del Archipiélago, y que ponen de manifiesto sus buenos conocimientos de los asuntos que tratan y su nivel cultural. Transcribo, en este primer documento, solamente la Historia de las islas Filipinas y dejo, para otra ocasión, la publicación de la interesante Geografía Física de las Islas Filipinas. No he podido localizar, en el momento que escribo estas líneas, los nombres de los autores ni la fecha de su confección. En ello sigo trabajando, aunque me encuentro, con frecuencia, documen- tos escritos por religiosos de todas las órdenes regulares, cuyas crónicas, escritos o documentos históricos no están firmados. Por el contexto, se pueden identificar estos documentos como escritos (con una elegante letra) en fechas posteriores al año 1850 y, con toda seguridad, antes de la salida de España de Filipinas en el año 1898.

  • Human Rights and Justice Issues in the 16Th Century Philippines
    Human Rights and Justice Issues in the 16th Century Philippines 16th Century in the Issues Justice and Rights Human Philippines San Beda College James Loreto C. Piscos, Ph.D. Abstract: In the 16th century Philippines, the marriage of the Church and the State was the dominant set-up by virtue of Spain’s quest for colonization and evangelization. Civil administrators and Espasyo Pampublikong sa Wika Ang church missionaries were called to cooperate the will of the king. In most cases, their point of contact was also the area of friction because of their opposing intentions. The early Spanish missionaries in the 16th century Philippines were influenced by the teachings of Bartolome de Las Casas and Vitoria that ignited them to confront their civil counterparts who were after getting the wealth and resources of the natives at the expense of their dignity and rights. Since the King showed interest in protecting the rights of the Indians, Churchmen used legal procedures, reports and personal .... ... testimonies in the Royal Court to create changes in the systems employed in the islands. The relationship between the Spaniards and the natives cannot be reduced to a monolithic relationship between the two races. The power dynamics should be viewed within the plethora of groups who were engaged in the discourse including the bishop of Manila, governor-general, encomenderos, adelantados, soldiers, religious orders, native leaders and even the common indios. Given the canvas of conflicting motives, the proponents of conquests and missionary undertakings grappled to persuade the Spanish Royal Court to take their respective stand on the disputed human rights and justice issues on the legitimacy of the conquest, tributes, slavery and forced labor.
