--_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.
[7] Fray Hernando de San Jose, the Japanese martyr, whose family
name was Ayala, was born at Vallesteros, in 1575, and took his vows
in the Augustinian convent of Montilla, May 19, 1593. He arrived in
the Philippines in August, 1604, and was soon sent to Japan, whence
he returned in 1607 to Manila as procurator. On his return to Japan,
he labored in various places, and founded the convent at Nagasaki,
of which he was made prior in 1613. He was martyred June 1, 1617. See
Diaz's _Conquistas_ (Valladolid, 1890), pp. 76-103.
[8] Fray Hernando Morales, a native of Montilla, in the province
of Cordoba, professed in the Cordoba convent, and on his arrival at
the Philippines was sent to labor among the Aetas in Panay. He was
minister of Sibucao in 1611, and of Laglag in 1618, in which year he
took charge of San Nicolas de Cebu, going later to Dumalag.
