                    [Summary] => Today, October 5, 1762, Archbishop Manuel Antonio Rojo, acting governor-general, surrenders the city of Manila to the British invaders in order to end the slaughter of soldiers and civilians.


Realizing the grave situation, Archbishop Rojo called a council of war to discuss the course of action that should be followed. 


The military officers, mostly Mexicans, favored surrender because of the futility of further resistance. They were overruled by the Spanish friars, magistrates, and merchants who vigorously advocated resistance to the bitter end.

                    [Summary] => Today, August 9, 1589, the Royal Audiencia, which was created to restrict the powers of the Governor-General and to protect the Filipinos from the abuses of the officials, is abolished.


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.
