Life
Arandía was a native of Ceuta with lineage from the families of Biscay. He was a member of the Order of Calatrava and became the Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles III of Spain (V of Sicily). In 1754, he arrived in Manila as the new governor-general replacing the 1st Marquis of Brindisi.[1]
During his governorship, he reformed the army and expelled infidel Chinese and built the Alcaicería (market) of San Fernando in Manila.[1] He died in office and was replaced by the Bishop of Cebú Miguel Lino de Ezpeleta in 1759.[2]
