The Royal Audiencia was the Supreme Court in the Spanish times. Created by the Royal Decree of May 15, 1583, it held its first session in Manila on June 15, 1584. 


The first president of the Royal Audiencia was Governor Santiago de Vera. Owing to certain frictions between the Governor and the oidores (justices), it was abolished in 1589 only to be reestablished in 1595.
