THE ROCOS OF THE PHILIPPINES by JUAN DE DIOS EMETERIO DE ROCO circa 1893
(Translated by Facundo Jesus Sagarbarria Roco on 31 December 1995) Translator's Note: The original manuscript of this document was passed on from generation to generation by the descendants of Juan De Dios Emeterio. It is now in the custody of Menchu Alonzo, great-grandaughter of the author. Photocopies were given to the members of the Roco Family Historical Committee composed of Menchu Alonzo, Lenny Roco-Fabul, Nenita Roco-Fabregas Garcia, Chato Mañeru, and the translator. Malou Roco-Fresnoza was also originally one of the members of the historical committee but she has migrated to Vancouver, Canada. During the December 2002 reunion in Manila, we were able to view the original document and using updated technology, we were able to decipher some of the hard-to-understand pages. Previously, there were also a few missing pages, but this is now a complete set.

Chapter XXX Jurisdiction of Cavite The harbor of Cavite is located within sight of and south of Manila inside Manila Bay (which has a perimeter of some 30 leagues), at a distance of 3 leagues by sea and 5 or 6 by land. It consists of a bent point of land which juts into the sea, this being the reason why the Indians call it Cavit (which means hook or fishhook). The Spaniards called it Cavite, but the proper term is Tanguay, which means a point of land which juts into the sea. This is how I hear them (who prefer to use the Tagalog language) call it. This harbor is sheltered against all winds except that from the northeast which is the direction the mouth faces. It is formed between Bacoor and the Point known as that of the Ribera. It must be a league and a third wide and has shallow water, so much so that a loaded galleon cannot come in or go out of it. This port has a perimeter of some 8 leagues. Leaving this port and rounding the Point of Ribera, there is a sand bank located 4 leagues west of it, called the shoal of San Nicolas. It faces north to south, opposite the mouth of the Canas river about a league away. It runs east to west. the water getting deeper towards the point of Ribera. Cavite is located at 14 degrees and 30 minutes of latitude north and 3 degrees and 36 minutes of longgitude west of San Bernardino. The Jurisdiction of Cavite, which is separate from that of the other provinces, falls under its Justicia Mayor who at the same time is the Keeper of the Royal Fort of San Phelipe in this Port. This juridiction also includes the towns of San Roque, Bacoor, Cavite El Viejo and Binacayan. There are a total of 1,211 tributes which do not include a multitude of vagabonds, beach dwellers, Sangleys, and mestizos and some Spaniards in the Navy and Ordnance Corps. p. 82, The Philippine Chronicles of Fray San Antonio, A Translation from the Spanish by D.

Chapter XXVII The Province of Tongdo 229. The province of Tongdo has a perimeter of some 25 leagues, this province beginning at the bar of Manila and veering north northeast after a short distance to sail up the estero of Binondo up to Tongdo, its capital. From there you go on to Tambobong, the last town in this province on this side and bordering Polo in the province of Bulacan, leaving the bar of Bacusay to the left, this being one of the entrances to the bar of Manila. It is here that the lime kilns of Almeja are located, the source of supply of lime for local construction. 230. Returning to the bar of Manila, this province runs south along the bay, the towns of Santiago, la Hermita, Malate and Paranaque being found along the coast, with Pasay, San Lazaro and Dilao behind them. The province ends here by the town of Bacoor which belongs to the jurisdiction of Cavite. A tidal estuary goes inland from the bar of Paranaque (where the lime kilns of the king are to be found) until it joins the Pasig River between Pandacan and Santa Ana, thus isolating all the land of Manila. 231. Going up the Pasig River from its mouth at the Bar of Bata. this province borders that of Laguna de Bai and includes some towns on the banks of this river and the hills of Payaan, San Isidro, San Mateo and others. The province of Bai begins with its lake from San Pedro Tunasan and includes the mainland of Manila. 232. This province produces some products from truck farming and vegetable gardens and all kinds of manufactured goods. It has a large population, but few of these are natives because there are only 6,361 whole tributes in it, 5,670 belonging to the Crown and 691 to private parties. There are innumerable mestizos classified under the "Ramo de Boletas" and Sangleys from the Alcaceria, as well as a great variety of foreign nationals, so much so that the province contains the confusion of Babylon. This is so because it includes Manila and its suburbs. p. 77, The Philippine Chronicles of Fray San Antonio

Chapter XVIII The Provinces of Albay 188. The province of Albay belongs to the diocese of Camarines or Nueva Caceres, and is the first one we come to at the "Embocadero" by the point of Bulusan. Its mouth, called Bagatan, faces northeast, and is a harbor wherein large ships have been built. It lies in front of the harbors of Ticao and San Jacinto which have already been mentioned and which also belong to this province of Albay. This Bay of Solsogon must measure some eight leagues along the coast. The Royal Rope Factory, where cables and ropes are manufactured from abaca, which is plentiful in this land, is located in this town. The islands of Burias and Masbate, mentioned earlier in the chapter on the Embocadero to Manila, also belong to this province. These were conquered for the Crown of Castilla in 1569 by the knight from Sevilla, Don Luis Henriquez de Guzman. Masbate is known for its very rich gold mines, discovered by the Spaniards who first explored this island; but their exploitation has not been brought about either because of the lack of labor experienced in this type of work, or lack of ingenuity, or because of Divine permissiveness or disposition, as has already been mentioned in my chapter on gold. 189. On the south, the province of Albay extends on the mainland of Luzon for six and a half leagues until the bay of Marigondon, which has a mouth about one-third of a league wide and measures about a league and a half along the coast. To the north, it goes to the point of Tigbi, which lies to the east of the bend of Bulusan. The Bay of Albay lies on this side, outside of the channel, and an uninhabited islet, called Baga-Rey, lies to the east of it, which with another four more to the north, form this bay. Its mouth includes these, Baga-Rey and the point of Montufor. The harbor of Baco is located at a short distance from the latter and is about five leagues from Albay. The highest and most conical volcano of these islands is located here and can be seen from many leagues away by ships coming from New Spain, as has already been mentioned. A little later, they see that of Bulusan, which is another volcano of medium height, located at the point. The bay of Malinao is located down the eastern coast close to this point between Albay and Tigbi. Its mouth faces south, is about a league wide, and measures about the same distance in width with little differences as one goes in, and must measure about six leagues along the coast. There are some towns towards the middle of this province, ending with of Albay. The province of Camarines begins from Cagsaua and from Tigbi on the coast. p. 62, The Philippine Chronicles of Fray San Antonio
