The presence of the document indicates that Fray Lope was still alive in 1911, and was still in good health 18 years after his mandate in Banate, as manifested by his hand-writing and signature. However, as regards his memory of the names of distinguished town residents, the Report shows that he was beginning to forget certain details of information: He wrote the surname of Don Marcelo Madrid as "Lamadrid". He also forgot the first name of Don Florencio Villaluz, simply writing "D. F. Villaluz". Both persons were, together with Don Eugenio Badilla (also mentioned by the Friar), among the town's officials, when order was restored after the Filipino-American War in 1901.
