When DonLeoncio Lopez, parish priest of Calamba, died, Villafranca had certainbrushes with Francisco Mercado, brushes which Paciano relates to hisbrother in a letter dated 26 March 1883: Loc. cit. 111-112. About these dates,conflicts arose between the Rizal family and the Dominicans, which Pacianodescribed in this same letter. But previously, on 19 January 1883, his brotherin-law,Silvestre Ubaldo, had written him: "I am informed that those of thewhite shirts hate you because of what you did when you were in Barcelona,and because of what you published in the Diariong Tagalog.

But this same year, Pacianoadvised his younger brother in an undated letter that, considering the favorsthe family had received from the Dominicans, he ought to try not to displeasethem in the least. In June 1885 riots in the Calamba hacienda broke out, andthese Paciano detailed for his brother in a letter dated 16 July 1885: Loc. cit.,191-192.
