For brief sketch of Fray Bernabe Villalobos see vol. xxiii, note 32.

Fray Diego Cerrabe was a native of Burgos, professing in the convent of that city in 1584.  On going to the islands he became confessor and preacher in 1595, examiner in 1596, and lecturer and minister at Pasig in 1600-1602, going to Europe as definitor of the general chapter in the last year, and probably remaining in Spain.

Fray Pedro(not Diego) Salcedo was born of an illustrious family in Mexico, and took his vows at that city in 1583 at the age of twenty-five.  He went to the Philippines in 1598, where he exercised the care of souls in Bay in 1600, in Hagonoy in 1607 and 1617, in Bulacan in 1614, and in Malolos in 1618.  He was definitor in 1602 and 1608, and prior of Manila in 1605 and 1611.  His death occurred at Malolos in 1619.

Fray Juan Bautista de Montoya was a native of Castilla, and after professing at the convent in Burgos went to the Philippines, where he was subprior and master of novitiates in the Manila convent (1581-1583), and missionary in Cagayan (1583-1586), after which he returned to Manila, but the same year went to Macao, where he remained until 1591.  He acted as definitor that same year, and afterward was missionary at a number of villages, where he lived a busy life, his death occurring in 1632.  He wrote sermons in Tagal, and translated the catechism into the same language, and wrote a history of the Augustinian order in the Philippines.

Fray Francisco Serrano professed at San Felipe el Real in 1574.  After going to the islands he labored at Macabebe, Lubao, Candaba, and Guagua until 1596, when he was appointed provincial secretary.  At the end of his term in that office, he was chosen subprior of the Manila convent, visitor, and finally definitor.  He died in 1613.
