NOTES [1] Documents marked with an asterisk are printed in both the original language and English translation. [2] _The Philippine Islands, Moluccas, Siam, Cambodia, Japan, and China at the close of the Sixteenth Century_, by Antonio de Morga, Hakluyt Society, London, 1868, p. 265. This will be cited usually as Morga. [3] "The crown and sceptre of Spain has come to extend itself over all that the sun looks on, from its rising to its setting." Morga, p 6. Down to the end of the year 1844 the Manilan calendar was reckoned after that of Spain, that is, Manila time was about sixteen hours slower than Madrid time. Finally, with the approval of the Archbishop in 1844, the thirty-first of December was dropped and the Philippines transferred, so to speak, into the Eastern Hemisphere. Thenceforward Manila time was about eight hours ahead of Madrid time. Jagor: _Reisen in den Philippinen,_ pp. 1-2.
