About Paul De La Gironière
- Paul Proust de la Gironière (1797–1862) was a traveler from Nantes who lived in the Philippines and wrote about his experiences there.
- He arrived in the Philippines in 1820 and established the Jala Jala hacienda in Morong (present-day Rizal province). Among the activities that he undertook were hog raising and planting indigo, sugarcane, and coffee. On June 23, 1837, Gironiere's efforts in the field of horticulture and agriculture were recognized by the Real Sociedad Economica de Amigos del Pais de Pilipinas — winning 1,000 pesos for raising 6,000 coffee plants.
- He ensured good relations with the clergy by building a church; and with his workers by building cockpits in the estate.
