Note 2 — Despatch of Missionaries to the Philippines

Also known as Recollects (see Vol. XIII, p. 246 and note). When they arrived in the Philippines (1606), they established themselves in a suburb of Manila called Bagumbayan. See the detailed account of the circumstances attending the despatch of friars thither from this order, and of the beginning of their work in the islands, in La Concepción’s Hist. de Philipinas, iv, pp. 189–265.
