ang mahal na señor
Posted on April 9th, 2009 5 commentsThis article is an excerpt from the book “Kasaysayan at Tala ng Bayan ng Lucban, Quezon” written by Pantaleon Nantes (+) and published in 1952. The author narrated a significant part of the history of Lucban about the Mahal na Senor or the image of the dead Christ, how it ended up in a pawnshop in Manila causing many illnesses to the townspeople and the ownership that was fought all the way to the Corte Suprema (Supreme Court) between the original owners led by the Lukban-Villasenor Clan and the present owners, the Rañola clan. It happened in 1892.
Mahal na Senor
Pagkamatay ni Kapitan Saturnino Rilles y Cristobal, ay naiwan ang lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari at ari-arian, kasama na dito ang Santo Sepulcro o Mahal na Señor, sa kaniyang mga anak na sina Geronimo Rilles, binata; Andrea Rilles, napangasawa ni Miguel de San Agustin, ina at ama ng magkakapatid na sina Heneral Vicente Lukban, Dr. Justo Lukcban, Juez Caytano Lukban at iba pa; at Saturnina (Nining) Rilles, napangasawa ni Esteban Villaseñor, ama ng parmaseutiko Liborio Villaseñor at ni Ismael Villaseñor, gumuhit at yumari niyang bantayog ni Dr. Jose Rizal sa tapat ng Bahay Pamahalaang Bayan. (Nang umalis dito at lumipat sa Daet, Camarines Norte and buong mag-anak ng Miguel de San Agustin at Andrea Rilles, ay nagpalit ng apelyido at ginawang Lukban, bilang alaala nila sa bayang kanilang sinilangan.) Dahil sa isang mahigpit na pangangailangan ni G. Geronimo Rilles, ay dinala niya sa Maynila ang Santo Sepulcro at kaniyang isinanla sa isang mayamang mag-aalahas na si G. Cirilo David, sa daang San Pedro (ngayon ay daang Evangelista), sa halagang pitungdaang piso (P700.00).
Gayong na lamang ang kalungkutang tinanggap ng buong bayan ng maalaman ang nangyaring iyon; subalit hindi naman gaanong nagtagal at napabalik din dito sa atin, dahil di-umano, na magmula ng araw na mapaakyat sa bahay ni G. Cirilo David ang Mahal na Señor, ay palagi nang mayroong nagkakasakit sa kanyang ka-anak, kaya’t agad pinilit nitong maipabalik ang nasasanla. Walang anu-ano ay namatay si Geronimo Rilles, kaya’t ang kinausap ni G. Cirilo David ay ang magkapatid na Andrea at Saturnina (Nining) Rilles. Walang nakaalam kung ano ang tunay na nangyari, subalit, ang tanging napag-alaman ay: Hindi matubos at walang tumubos sa pagkakasanla ng Mahal na Señor. Kumalat ang balitang iyan sa buong bayan, kaya’t ang ginawa ng isang nakaririwasa sa buhay at mahilig sa pagsimba na si G. Juan Rañola, upang matubos at muling mapabalik dito ang naulit na Santo Sepulcro, ay nanghingi sa mga taong bayan ng salaping maibabayad kay G. Cirilo David; ngunit dahil sa kahirapan noon ng hanapbuhay, ay nakalikom lamang ng halagang tatlong daang piso (P300.00) kaya’t kinailangan na magdagdag si G. Juan Rañola ng apat na raang piso pa (P400.00), bukod ang ibinayad sa tubo at lahat ng gugol sa pagdadalang parito, at kung anu-ano pang kagastusan, bago naparating dito ang nasabing Santo Sepulcro. Sabihin pa ang kagalakan ng buong bayan ng idating na dito; sinalubong ng napakaraming tao na pinangunahan ng Pare na may dalang palio at banda ng musiko. Tuluy-tuloy sa Simbahan at ginawa ang ukol na pagpapasalamat sa Diyos sa madaling pagkakabalik dito ng nabanggit na Mahal na Señor.
Mula na noon hanggang sa mga araw na ito ay si G. Juan Rañola na, ang mga kamag-anak nito at mga nilalad ang nagmamakaalam at nagmamay-ari ng nasabing Santo Sepulcro, dahil sa kahuli-hulihang pasiya ng Kataas-taasang Hukuman (Corte Suprema) ukol sa usaping pinaglabanan ng magkakapatid na Lukban at mag-anak ng Nining na Teban o Esteban Villaseñor at ng mga kaanak ng yumaong Juan Rañola.

The Santo Sepulcro is under the care of the Rañola Family and is on display at their residence at the corner of Mabini and A. Racelis Ave. in Lucban. I will take a look more about your grandfather.

Dear Charles,
Your blog came as a pleasant surprise. I am a resident of Lucban for 11 years now, married to a Lucbanin, Ethet Salvanera Cu, the 4th daughter of Mrs. Edna Cabungcal Salvanera.
I was born and raised in Daet, Camarines Norte. My mother who, along with four other siblings were orphaned at a very early age, had very little memory of my maternal grandfather, Pedro Abuy and how he came from Lucban, a town in Quezon. The only clue that he left of his progeny, according to my mother was that he mentioned “San Agustin” as his place of origin.
Not being aware of my Lucbanin roots, and eventually marrying one…my curiosity was ressurected when we settled here 11 years ago. Though inquiring with the locals proved futile as there was no record of a barrio/barangay here in Lucban named San Agustin ( I was convinced there had been a mistake since barangays here bear ethnically Lucbanin names as Tiawe, May-it, Piis, Kalyaat etc.)I rested my cause and reckoned that I may never find my ancestors again.
Until I read the book you mentioned above, “Kasaysayan at Tala ng Bayan ng Lucban, Quezon” by Pantaleon Nantes.
It came to me that I could have been barking up the wrong tree all these years. Could it be that my grandfather, Pedro Abuy and two other sisters ( who were vaguely related to the late Tio Salvador “Ado” Abuy ) were actually related to Miguel De San Agustin? I have personally known General Justo Lukban’s descendants in Daet but never saw through the connection.
It is in this concern that I would like to implore your assistance regarding my query. I would appreciate the tiniest bit of information on how Miguel De San Agustin migrated to Daet, Camarines Norte and how he could be related to other Lukbanin migrants who went with him in 1863.
Hoping for your reply to my post.
Raymond Abuy Cu
