Note 74 — Chapter XX
Reading edition
Father Fray Joaquín Martínez de Zúñiga, in his Historia de Filipinas (pp. 384 et seq.), relates the foundation of the curacy of Mariquina, its separation from that of Pasig, and the means by which this was effected, as also the incorporation [that is, again with Pasig] which is here mentioned, and their final separation. And as his account differs considerably from that of Father Diaz, and we lack the data for deciding which of them is correct, we refer the reader to that work that he may examine, compare, and decide. Father Diaz, however, may have remained silent on the vexed questions to which that establishment gave rise, through consideration of prudence and of respect to the living; and in that case there is no contradiction, but justifiable omissions.—Fray Tirso López.
The Jesuit account of this controversy is presented by Murillo Velarde in Hist. de Philipinas, fol. 344 b, 345.
