Reading edition
Regarding Anda’s birth, see VOL. XLIX, p. 132, note 74. According to Montero y Vidal (Hist. de Filipinas, ii, p. 281), he studied at four different schools (jurisprudence, at Alcalá) taking several degrees, including that of doctor in law. He opened an office in Madrid, and attained great fame as an advocate. In 1755 he received an appointment to the Audiencia of Manila, of which post he took possession on July 21, 1761.
Anda was succeeded ad interim by Pedro Sarrio, “who found himself obliged to compel the obras pías to lend some money to the government” (Mas, Informe, i, part ii of “Historia,” p. 21). ↑
