Abstract

In the present article we study an unpublished manuscript written by a Spanish Dominican friar, parish priest in a Philippine village in 1760, in which the author describes in very bad verses the hypothetical characteristics of the lands and the peoples of the Philippines. The friar denigrates and insults repeatedly the natives, men and women, and constructs a not only racial but decisively racist discourse. After setting in a context the friar and the Dominican Order in the Philippine colonial history, we comment on the text and we present some ideas that can be useful to value the meaning of the missionary action in the Philippines during the 18th and the 19th centuries.
