This comprehensive report, published in Binondo, Manila, in 1865, was compiled by Fray Félix de Huerta. Titled Estado Geográfico, Topográfico, Estadístico, Histórico-Religioso, the document serves as a detailed registry of the Franciscan Province of Saint Gregory the Great in the Philippine Islands. It was mandated for publication by the Provincial Minister of the Holy Province. The work systematically details the state of the Franciscan Order's spiritual administration from its foundation in 1577 up to 1861. It provides vital statistics on the Order's presence, including the total number of religious personnel, convents, and the specific towns under their care. For each town, it records the geographic location, foundation date, tribute figures, population (souls), local production, industries, and notable events.
