The Filipinos’ continued appreciation for the sacrament of marriage is a valid reason for celebrating 500 years of Christian evangelization. To date, the Philippines remains the only country that does not legalize divorce. Celebrating this milestone, nevertheless, cannot deny the fact that more and more Filipinos voice out their view on what they consider as an “impossible” Church teaching. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that those who argue in favor of divorce also employ Sacred Scriptures as proof of God’s sanction for their position. This paper aims to clarify the scriptural evidence for indissolubility of marriage and so re-affirm the biblical theology behind the Catholic Church’s position.

Sickly and dying, Doña Juana Manahin dictated her last will and testament on 23 July 1691. From this document1, we learn that she was born in Puerto de Cavite, of the legitimate marriage of Don Juan Catorla and Doña María Cytain. (Typically in the 17th-century, Doña Juana did not carry her father’s family name. Her surname, based on the Tagalog word for inheritance, mana, would mean “will inherit.”) She was married to sargento mayor Don Bernavé Aliguid, now deceased. Her husband was a native of Banban, doctrina or mission station of the town of Bulacan, capital of the eponymous province (Fig.

The Meycauayan quarries are important sources of cut stones during the Colonial Period. Piedra de meycauayan became the building blocks of many historic structures in Luzon. This article sheds light into the relationship of the townsfolk of Meycauayan to their church, specifically their response in sustaining the church by renewing the deed of donation of quarries made by their forefathers. This will be done by examining a 1731 manuscript from the Archivo Franciscano Ibero-Oriental (AFIO) – a rare document in the vernacular that offers perspective from the natives rather than the colonizers. All these are framed within the historical development of the famed quarries.
Meycuayan采石场是殖民时期琢石的重要来源。Piedra de meycauayan成为吕宋许多历史建筑的基石。这篇文章揭示了Meycuayan市民与他们的教会的关系,特别是他们通过更新祖先的采石场捐赠契约来维持教会的反应。这将通过检查1731年伊比利亚东方方济各会(AFIO)的手稿来完成,这是一份罕见的白话文献,提供了当地人而非殖民者的视角。所有这些都是在著名采石场的历史发展中形成的。

Early modern altarpieces constitute one of the most numerous collections of art in the Philippines and one of the most characteristic elements of religious heritage. Even so, art historians have paid little attention to their development and their chronology. This paper aims to provide a formal framework to date the archipelago’s altarpieces from the sixteenth through the eighteenth century, highlighting both the European reference points and local artistic customs. After the fieldwork is described, a list of altarpieces located in various churches on the islands has been carried out, organising them both formally and chronologically. As a result, other pieces identified in the future would be easily dated following this pattern.
