    The document summarizes the Anti-Friar Manifesto of 1888 in which 300 Filipinos marched in Manila to present a petition to the Governor General requesting the expulsion of all friars from the Philippines. They were protesting the domination of the friars, or "frailocracy", who were accused of interfering in politics and society, amassing wealth through large estates, and keeping Filipinos ignorant. The petition specifically called out Archbishop Payo for his anti-Filipino tendencies and support of parish priests defying a ban. However, the petition failed to reach the Queen and led to a crackdown on the leaders of the protest.
