Asylum of Cambobong, founded by the Ladies' Union at Manila in 1882, is in charge of the Augustinians, and imparts elementary and advanced instruction and qualifies boys for clerical situations both in public and business offices. The Hospicio de San José, likewise under the care of the Augustinians and of the sisters of that Order, gives to its inmates elementary instruction and teaches them household duties and other accomplishments suited to their sex. The St. Joseph's Home, founded in 1810, gives shelter to poor and demented children. The Hospital of San Juan de Dios, founded by the Brotherhood of Misericordia in 1595, and the Government Civil Hospital cares for whatever invalids present themselves. Another hospital was opened in 1905 by the sisters of St Paul and is known as the Hospital of St. Paul. The Hospital of San Lazaro, founded in 1578 by the Franciscan Order, is for the care of leprous patients. The Manila Monte de Piedad and Savings Bank, organised in 1880, has several branches. There are four banks in Manila, the Banco Español Filipino, the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, the Hong- kong and Shanghai Bank, which has also a branch in Iloilo, and the Internationa Banking Corporation of New York. There are numerous social societies American and Spanish, and several theatres.
