Acting Governor General of the Philippines Wright has received the complaints about the friars inhabiting the Pueblo of Jimenez. The friars are not breaking any law and have the right to live wherever they like. It is unfortunate that they insist on remaining in a community that does not desire their presence or services. Inhabitants do not need to visit the friars’ church or contribute to their maintenance.
