The document summarizes a rebellion led by Francisco Maniago in Pampanga, Philippines in 1660. The people of Pampanga grew exasperated with overseers who mistreated woodcutters. They set fire to huts and declared their intention to revolt, appointing Maniago as their leader. Others gathered armed in villages, closing river mouths to disrupt trade with Manila and urging other provinces to revolt against Spanish rule. As courage waned, leaders sought pardons while blaming unrest on unpaid wages. The governor offered payment but a secretary later altered the meaning of an amnesty, sparking further disturbances.
