    • On Jan. 24, 1571, the Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legaspi founded the city of Manila, took possession of Maynilad, the native settlement of Rajah Matanda & Rajah Sulayman on May 19, 1571, and firmly established Spanish authority in the newly conquered turf. Legaspi apportioned a parcel of land for the church of the new settlement under the patronage of La Purisima Immaculada Concepcion. The Church of Manila was established by the secular Juan de Vivero who baptized Rajah Matanda. Vivero first arrived in these shores in 1566 as chaplain of the galleon of San Geronimo which had come to support the Spanish colonization of the newly discovered islands. The church was a simple structure of nipa & bamboo. (Taken from http://www.manilacathedral.org/index.htm)
