Notability and verifiability in question. Article was unsourced for more than a decade. I found no reliable online references as per WP:BEFORE.

- Keep: It took a while, but I finally found a seemingly reliable source that places de Padua as the governor of Batanes; this US Army document. Since governors are notable per WP:NPOL so long as we have a source that supports it, this now passes that criteria. Curbon7 (talk) 23:05, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- I found some other miscellaneous documents about him that don't confer notability themselves, but may be useful to others, so I'll leave them here: a book and a document placing him as a superintendent, and a couple of Masonic newspapers which document his movements a bit.
