Father Juan de Castro, vicar-general of the Dominican Order in Manila, has petitioned Bishop Salazar for permission to build a church, houses, and a convent in Manila, in the street leading from the plaza to the Parián, the Chinese (Sangley) district of the city. Salazar approves the request and issues the license on Aug. 21, 1587, signed for him by notary public Antonio de Espomossa.
