Note 1 — Chapter XXII · The Government of the Non-Christian Tribes (Continued)
Reading edition
Two great services have been rendered to the more orderly of the inhabitants of Mindoro, which was, in Spanish days, a rendezvous for evil-doers from Luzón. Indeed, it was the most disorderly province north of Mindanao. An excellent state of public order has been established, and there has not been an armed ladrone1 in the province for years. It was famous for its “bad climate.” We have shown that its climate is good, making its towns really healthful by merely cleaning them up.
