Fray Matías Octavio fue un agustino destinado en Filipinas entre 1762 y 1788. Uno de los roles más interesantes de este fraile fue su dedicación a la promoción del cultivo del añil desde su parroquia de Tambobo (Manila). En esta labor consiguió una mejora del producto, que en los años posteriores se convirtió en un ramo económico muy importante de las islas. En este artículo se transcriben y estudian dos memoriales inéditos del religioso sobre la industria, la población, los tributos y los estancos de Filipinas.
