Note 1 — Statement of the Annual Incomes and Sources of Profit of His Majesty in These Philipinas Islands

Situado is used here to mean the extra income from the encomiendas which is obtained by increasing the tribute from eight reals to ten. This was done at the time when Gomez Perez Dasmariñas was sent to govern the Philippines; see his instructions (Vol. VII, pp. 145, 146), and cf. Morga’s Sucesos, chap. viii (Vol. XVI of this series; and Hakluyt Society’s trans., pp. 325, 326). The two reals thus gained were to be thus applied: one-half real, to pay the obligations of the tithes; one and one-half reals, for the pay of soldiers, etc.
