Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
JULY 12, 1859
The Jesuits returned to the Philippines after being asked by Queen Isabela II of Spain in 1852 to resume the evangelization of Mindanao and Jolo.
Six priests and four brothers arrived in Manila on board the frigate “Luisita”.
The Augustinian Recollects were told to give all their missions in Mindanao to the Jesuits.
In 1767, King Charles III of Spain ordered the expulsion of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) who came in 1581 to do missionary work.
However, the royal order arrived in 1768 and immediately, all the Jesuits were herded in ships headed for Spain.
