where he remained until 1598, when he went to the Philippines. He was appointed provincial reader, and retained that office until 1603, when he returned to Spain as commissary procurator. After three years he went again to the islands, laden with honors; and after ministering for two years at Bacolor, was elected provincial in 1608, governing until 1610, when on account of the deposition of Fray Lorenzo de Leon, he went to Spain to give a report of that matter. He was appointed bishop of Puerto Rico in 1614 and took possession of his see in 1615. In 1619 he became archbishop of Santo Domingo. He died in 1620. See Perez's _Catalogo_, p. 57. [5] Fray Hernando Guerrero, a native of Alcaraz, professed in the convent of San Felipe el Real in 1588. After his arrival at the Philippines, he labored in various Bisayan villages (1599-1613). In 1613, he went to Spain, whence he returned in 1617. He went again to Spain and Rome in 1625. In 1628 he was appointed bishop of Nueva Segovia, and, in 1635, archbishop of Manila. His term in the latter office was marked by contests with the Jesuits, and he was finally excommunicated by a secular priest, and then exiled to Mariveles by the governor, Corcuera--only leaving that island on signing certain conditions. He died July 1, 1641, at seventy-five years of age. See Perez's _Catalogo_, pp. 48, 49; and Buzeta and Bravo's _Diccionario_, ii, p. 275. [6] Innumerable are the names which might be cited here of religious who have given proofs of the keenest patriotism, defending the islands with the cross in one hand and the sword in the other: Father Agustin de San Pedro, a discalced Augustinian, called "Father Captain" for his prowess against the Mindanao Moros; the no less famous Father Pascual Ibanez de Santa Filomena, Augustinian Recollect, who died while bravely assaulting the fort of Abisi, Jolo, in 1857; the Jesuit, Father Ducos; the fathers of all the orders, especially the Augustinians in the war with the English; the Augustinian fathers who accompanied General Malcampo on his expedition to Jolo in 1875; Father Ramon Zueco, Recollect, of imperishable memory, besides innumerable others.--_Coco_. Continuing his note, Father Coco quotes from Father Fabian Rodriguez in _Revista Agustiniana_ for January 5, 1886, the remarkable defense and military record of the Augustinian Father Julian Bermejo in Cebu, from the latter part of the eighteenth century until his death in 1851.
