    I think the image of St. Michael shown above is the one from Argao. Unfortunately, it is now lost.

    These are from a private collection, unidentified in the 1965 book. Could it be the San Miguel still exists in his/her collection?

    Sir Alex, you say na these are from a private collection yet unidentified? Naku, I hope that the image still exists. Kahit nasa kamay na ng ibang tao, at least hindi truly nawawala. Stories from Argao say that the image was actually stolen.

    yes, labelled as private collection. Look for the 1965 issue of the Philippine Catholic Digest from where these pictures were taken.
