Vida
Este misionero nació en Madrid en 1650, e ingresó en la Orden de San Agustín en 1667. Más tarde, se trasladó a Filipinas, lugar en el que permaneció el resto de su vida y asumió diferentes cargos: fue comisario del Santo Oficio, visitador de la Provincia del Santísimo Nombre de Jesús y prior del Convento de San Bartolomé de Tambobong. Fray Gaspar de San Agustín se dedicó a la escritura de obras de diversa clase, entre las que destacan las crónicas, como las Conquistas de las Islas Filipinas […], publicada en Madrid en 1698, o la gramática tagala titulada Compendio de la arte de la lengua tagala de 1703 (la segunda edición es de 1787 en Sampaloc y la tercera de 1789 en Manila). Es autor también de textos para facilitar la catequización a los misioneros, como el Método para oír las confesiones (1703) en lengua bisaya o el Confesionario en tagalo y castellano, impreso en Manila en 1713. Murió en el Convento de Santiago de Manila en 1724.
