It appears, as Denise stated, the priest omitted name of father deliberately. The record says, com Phelipa de Samtiago e de sua May (mother) Joana da Costa todos moradores nesta fraguesia onde contrahentes foram baptizados ...
When Phelipa is born, it appears the parents are not married, as Antonio Alvares is viuvo, and Joana da Costa, the mother, is also not married but they are "dispensar para cazar" ( intending to marry as near as I can figure)- She was born Oct 20- 1711, bap- Oct 26- 1711, Pad- Jacome da Ruda soldado moradore mesma fraguesia... No parents are listed for either Antonio Alvares or Joana da Costa. Maybe they never married, but you may as well look for a marriage after the the child was born. With hindsight, it may be they never married at all and the priest did write "e sua may' and her mother, Joana da Costa, because said Joana never married the father and so he was not named. the priest kept the same format which complicated things, at least for us. This part is subject to a search, in case they did marry after Phelipa was baptised. An interesting fact is the use of the short form May or Muy with a accent above the y. With hindsight I can conclude there is no accent in marriage of Felipa Santiago. But one page later is the marriage of Manoel Rodrigues Dorta and there, the priest uses "May" with accent above 'y' to denote short form for mulher, that is wife. So everything has to be read in context as well as considering what we see literally.
