his community was a missionary field of Jesuits
and later of the Dominicans.
At the age of 35, Lam-co was baptized on Sunday
(Domingo), June 9, 1697, in the Parian Church of
San Gabriel. In his baptismal records, his parents
were simply listed as Siong-co and Jun-nio. It is

and -nio at the end of their names. These two
particles correspond to the Spanish Don and Dona

Dominican estate called San Isidro Labrador. He
became a leader among the Chinese community
and was a frequent godfather in baptisms and weddings. He helped in the founding of Tubigan
Barrio, the richest part of the estate.

Domingo married Inez de la Roza, the daughter of his friend, and was much younger than he.
They married in the Parian Church where he was baptized. Their union was blessed with two
children Francisco and Josefa, who died five days after her birth. Francisco was only two when
he lost his sibling.
