A report from January 1755 on the campaigns of the previous year against the Moros, who had carried out raids against the missions of Mindanao and the Bisayas. Of unknown authorship, it describes the Jesuit Joseph Ducos’ defence of the missions and the counterattack by the Spanish under the command of Pedro Alcántara Pérez against the Moros in the Visayan Islands. The report was reprinted in Barcelona later in 1755.
