Translated to English by Google Translate:

"A Spanish architect established there is responsible for the important work carried out in Manila for the first time, the transfer of a house made of strong materials, a stone and brick basement and a wooden crown, one hundred meters away from where it was built.
The work, difficult and painful, because there are not yet all the necessary elements for it, has been carried out with the best success. The said architect is Mr Abelardo Lafuente; his father worked until his death under the orders of the Spanish municipal architect Mr. Juan José Hervás.
Mr. Lafuente has been highly congratulated by compatriots and foreign engineers and mechanics. His essay represents an economy for homeowners who are forced to remove themselves from where they are, due to the street widening that is being studied by some and others in execution.”
