The encomienda of Moron, with one thousand one hundred men.

The last two encomiendas have a much larger population; but they are hostile, and live in the mountains.  All the above-mentioned encomiendas are found around the lake.  Turning toward the coast of Manilla, on the other side of Tondo, we find the following villages: 

On the coast near Manila are Laguo, Malahat, Longalo, Palanac, Vacol, Minacaya, and Cavite.  All these villages are in the neighborhood of Cavite, and belong to his Majesty, to whom they pay tribute.  On entering the bay opposite the other point, which is called Batan, is: 

Alcalde-mayor for the coast.  The encomienda of Maragondon, with four hundred and fifty men.  This encomienda of Maragondon, together with all the above-mentioned coast villages which belong to his Majesty, is under the jurisdiction of one alcalde-mayor, who receives a salary of three hundred pesos.

Outside of the bay of Manilla, on the east, are the villages of the lowlands of Tuley, which belong to his Majesty and pay him tribute.

Corregidor of Balayan.  The encomienda of Balayan has six hundred men, with one encomendero; one corregidor is appointed here, who receives a salary of one hundred and fifty pesos.

Alcalde-mayor of Vonvon.  The district around the lake of Bombon has a population of about three thousand four hundred.  Then come the villages of the Batangas district, with one thousand men and one encomendero.  These two encomiendas are under the jurisdiction of another alcalde-mayor.  All the land between Tuley and Batangas is inhabited by Moros, who, as we have said above, have abundance of cotton, and possess much gold handed down to them by their ancestors.

Proceeding about three leagues from the settlement of Batangas, which we mentioned above, along the coast toward Camarines, we come to the river of Lobo, on which are about a hundred Indians.  Two leagues from Lobo is Maribago, where there are gold mines; here dwell about one hundred Indians.  Farther on is the village of Biga, with a population of about one hundred and fifty Indians.  Next is Galvan, with about another hundred and fifty Indians.  All these villages have one encomendero.  Farther along the coast is the river Dayun, with about six hundred Indians; and next, the river Tubi, on which, in the tingues [hills], are about five hundred Indians.

Next are the river Carilaya and other small settlements, with a total population of about five hundred Indians.

Still farther is the river Caguayan, with about two hundred Indians.  All this territory has three encomenderos, and is all under the jurisdiction of the alcalde-mayor of Mindoro.  Here begins the province of Camarines, although a few settlements of little importance may be found between the two regions.
