Cristóbal Téllez Almazán was an auditor licentiate taking over military affairs before becoming the 12th governor of the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule. He is the first governor-general of the Philippines from the Real Audiencia of Manila.[1] A series of Japanese insurrections began just last year, 1606, when a son of a Japanese was killed by a Spaniard. The Japanese then plotted a revolt. A second Japanese insurrection occurred in 1607.[2]
