IRENEO VILLAREAL URSOS KNOWN AS ITAY IYONG IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS
NOTE ireneo ursos was the first great grandfather of the Ursos Clan in the Philippines. He  served the Catholic Church in Antique 

But when the americans came to help the filipinos in the time  during the Spanish American war during the Philippine revolution led by General Emelio Aguinaldo after the death of Jose Rizal.....  Itay Iyong was recruited by the American Prysbeterian missionaries who taught the people to read the bible.
      Itay Iyong was very interested to read the bible

The Spanish Audencia that governed the Philippines  disallowed filipinos to read the bible because they were afraid of possible protests from the people if they read the bible like what happened in Germany Protestant Movement led by Martin Luther




         ANTIQUE, NEAR THE BORACAY BEACH AND CAPIZ , the place of Itay Iyong Ursos


        SPANISH AUDENCIE GUARDIA CIVIL         In this manner Itay Iyong was caught by the local priest of Antique reading the bible. He was reported by the priest to the Guardia Civil (Spanish Police Force) He was declared  a heretic and a suspected American spy..  ....   


the magahat warriors of Manobo tribe in Butuan
THE MANOBO TRIBE OF BUTUAN
Itay Iyong close relatives of his mother... the Villareal families in Cebu advised him to go to Butuan . because HE WILL BE SAFE IN BUTUAN because the Villareal and its close relatives the Villanueva families have connection with the  gold trading with Manobo tribe of Butuan.  The MANOBO TRIBE WAS NOT COMPLETELY CAPTURED BY THE SPANISHMILITARY CONTROLOF STHE SPANISH AUDENCIA. The MaGAHAT WARRIORS OF mANOBO TRIBE will resist the Guardia Civil if they will insist their controls  to the Manobotribe because the Magahat warriors will respect only the Datu of the Manobo and not the Spanish Governor General of the Spanish Audencia goverment in the Philippines. Aside from that... The Spanish Audencia will avoid unnecessary war wagainst the Manobo tribe because the Spanish military is facing the Rough Riders Military force of the United States of America during the years 1896- 1899 thats why Itay Iyong came to Butuan.
