Abstract
The Order of St. Augustine friars founded a novitiate in Manila a decade following their arrival in Filipinas in 1565. Prior to 1700, over a hundred novices would profess their vows at the Convento de San Pablo. They included men who were from Filipinas, with the rest coming from Spain, Mexico, Macao, Japan, India, and Ceylon. The backgrounds of Augustinians from Filipinas reflect the social change taking place in the first century or so of Spanish colonization. The paper will offer information about their identity and other biographical data drawn from the catalog of Augustinian missions written by Elviro Jorde Pérez, OSA, and published in Manila in 1901. The paper hopes to cast some light on the process of Christianization and the beginnings of a Filipino society during the early Spanish colonial period.
