Marquis of the Villa de Villar, originally from the Province of Ayala, wanting to perform an act for the common good, put forth in this work (not only his funds for the project) all of his efforts from the foundations to the last details, donating the sum of 88,287 pesos, to which the rest of the city, both religious and secular sources, gave 20,504 pesos, which together with the above described sum amounted to 112,791 pesos. For this benefit the city is perpetually thankful and commends to God this finished project. This heroic project is a job well done.
