Father Santiago Paya, Rector of the University of Santo Tomas, said among other things the following to the Philippine Commission on July 1, 1899: All secondary instruction in the Philippine Islands was under the University of Santo Tomas.

A large fire was kindled in a shallow pit, in which were a number of stones.
