Note 7 — The Spanish Friars, After 1898

Archbishop Nozaleda left for Spain, but did not relinquish his archbishopric until June, 1903.7 In his absence his office was administered by Father Martin Garcia Alcocér, the Spanish bishop of Cebú, whilst the bishopric of Cebú was left in charge of a popular Chinese half-caste secular priest, Father Singson,8 who subsequently became vicar of Cebú on the appointment of an American prelate, Father Hendrichs, to the bishopric.
