The year 1963 marked the third centenary of the baptism of Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo, the foundress of the first and only Filipino congregation with definitive pontifical approval from Rome, in the three hundred years' history of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. Yet Mother-Ignacia is comparatively unknown, as are also her spiritual daughters who labor without fanfare, preferring as they do, a life of anonymity. Convinced that Mother Ignacia and her institute should be known beyond the intimate circle of her spiritual daughters and their friends, the author resolved to write this book. 

Of this work, Professor Domingo Abella, president of the International Association of Historians of Asia (1960-1962), says: "Dr. Foronda's is a bold attempt indeed to break through the limitations which have kept us in chains all these years. His work practically exhausts all the sources in the local field, so thoroughly has he gathered and presented them between the covers of his monograph." Professor Waldo S. Perfecto, president of the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines, adds: "Filipiniana is indebted to the sympathetic yet careful work of Dr. Marcelino Foronda on the timeless theme of enduring spirituality versus ephemeral popularity." 

A Philippine import.
