It's interesting to look at these old records and see the same surnames for the priests repeated over and over again. There seems to be a lot of Aranetas in the parish during the time when these baptisms were happening sometime in the late 1810s.

the vice president of the philippines issued a death threat against the president of the philippines, the first lady, and the speaker of the house of representatives and it's primarily because she was so pissed off about how the chief of staff of her office was being arrested for crimes related to corruption and contempt of court after she wouldn't answer for the strange spending of the office of the vice president and now people are speculating (some people say it's a confirmed fact?) that the vice president and her chief of staff are in a lesbian relationship including a popular controversy-hounding tv show and radio host calling her a slur and claiming she's a bisexual butch (we use the word tomboy in my country's culture)

i am not joking

english translation is in the alt text

random fun fact since this is insane: ac/dc is an old slang term for bisexual in the philippines haha

anw most ppl in the actual facebook post are calling out the tv/radio host for not having any friends and either way this is an absurd speculation

edit since i keep forgetting to add to this post:

atty. zuleika lopez later suddenly fell ill after she got sentenced to be transferred to an actual prison (classic political move here) and when she was finally being forced to transfer to a hospital known for keeping political convicts by the cops, vp sara duterte went out of her way to try to prevent them from closing the ambulance, telling them off for not dropping off lopez in the fancy hospital, before calling the cops who were trying to assist in transferring lopez "wag kayong bakla!" (don't be gay!) in a slur kind of way

actual quote starts 4:32

The Vice President of the Philippines, the daughter of a dictatorial former president, has threatened to assassinate the President of the Philippines, the son of a dictatorial former president.

Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte said Saturday she has contracted an assassin to kill the president, his wife and the House of Representatives speaker if she herself is killed, in a brazen public threat that she warned was not a joke. Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin referred the "active threat" against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to an elite presidential guards force "for immediate proper action." It was not immediately clear what actions would be taken against the vice president. The Presidential Security Command immediately boosted Marcos' security and said it considered the vice president's threat, which was "made so brazenly in public," a national security issue. The security force said it was "coordinating with law enforcement agencies to detect, deter, and defend against any and all threats to the president and the first family." Marcos ran with Duterte as his vice-presidential running mate in the May 2022 elections and both won with landslide victories on a campaign call of national unity.

The opposition in the Philippines has difficulty uniting behind a candidate for president. The authoritarians have no such trouble though their unity does not always last past the election.

In a pre-dawn online news conference, an angry Sara Duterte accused Marcos of incompetence as a president and of being a liar, along with his wife and the House speaker in expletives-laden remarks. When asked about concerns over her security, the 46-year-old lawyer suggested there was an unspecified plot to kill her. "Don't worry about my security because I've talked with somebody. I said 'if I'm killed, you'll kill BBM, Liza Araneta and Martin Romualdez. No joke, no joke,'" the vice president said without elaborating and using the initials that many use to call the president.

Given her family's history, it's a good idea to take Sara Duterte's threat seriously.

I will say this pretty directly. "Araneta Bapto" is not an actual person but a falsely flagged non-existent person probably by some sort algorithm or bot that FamilySearch has and is actually just the surname of the priest of these entries "P.ᵉ D. Anacto Araneta" or Padre Don Anacto Araneta. He is listed several times in several of these entries.

Like if a human person was actually the ones transcribing these, this would've been noticed so quickly but because it was done automatically and no one seems to had really read these, now Domingo Jaucian apparently had a daughter named "Araneta Bapto" instead of the website recognizing his actual listed daughter in the entry "Prodencia".

This is absolutely confusing to me as no other sources mention "Prodencia" as the daughter of Domingo and Magdalena, but this is also one of the few sources we even have that mention the two as a married couple.

FamilySearch has been very helpful when doing this kind of research wrt to accessing old records (although I would still like to maybe one day find these records myself or get an actual physical copy), but the digital transcription of these records are so highly inaccurate. Looking through the record, they had falsely flagged a person with the surname "Bapto" when it may be an abbreviation of "Baptized" or a similar word as it's used on all the entries and the actual entry reads somewhere closer to "Baptᵒ". This flagged person was then added in as an actual person in their records with the surname of the priest seemingly being used as a first name for some reason.

This has created way more work for me because now I actually have to reread these actual records which was very difficult considering that I'm not the best at Spanish and definitely struggle to read these two-century-old written records by some Spanish secretary.

So yeah, if you're doing any family history research and use FamilySearch, try to access the document source that they had uploaded and try to read it yourself because they may had seriously screwed up writing up the entry's transcript.
