In 2005 the Pronvice regained its independence of the Spanish Province of Santisimo Nombre de Jesús de Filipinas, when the Priest Miguel Diez was Prior.
Elected in 2007, the modern day Provincial Prior is Priest Alexander Lam Alania, O.S.A.
The Augustinians have schools and churches in Lima, Pacasmayo and Chiclayo.
