    The document discusses the history of Chinese settlement in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. It notes that the Chinese engaged in trade with Manila and settled in the country. However, some Chinese revolted against the government and were massacred in large numbers. This led to royal orders limiting the Chinese population. The document also mentions that religion was used to control groups like the Mestizos and indios, and that marriage helped spread Catholicism. However, some details from the readings remain unclear to the student, such as why the Chinese continued settling in the Philippines after massacres. The student also has questions about the revolts against the Spanish and how history may have differed without Spanish colonization.

    1. Three (3) Things that I significantly learned from the readings


     I have learned that during the Spanish regime, the relationship of Philippines with
    China used to be beneficial economically and socially. China exchanges goods with
    Manila as part of the Manila galleon trade. This fact makes me think of the current
    relationship of both countries in modern day. If at the time, China and Philippines can
    interact while equally befitting from each other, why can’t the relations of both
    countries today remain cordial? Perhaps learning more about the history relating to the
    involvement of both countries could help us solve modern day disputes.
     Another thing that I have learned from the readings is the fact that there used to be
    Chinese residents in our country during the Spanish colonization period. The Chinese
    whom settled within the country were labeled as Mestizos which stands for Chinese-
    indio, or half-castes. Based on what I have read, this minority group was allowed by
    the Spanish government to remain in the country because it helped the economy grow.
    In the nineteenth century, the Spaniards produced a taxation policy which mandated
    heavier tax to those groups best able to pay. The Chinese were assumed to have a
    superior earning potential; hence they were taxed more heavily. I find this learning
    significant because it says a lot about the ancestry of most Filipinos to which many
    have a percentage of Chinese lineage in their family (Tsinoys).
     Lastly, the learning which I give uttermost significance to is how religion was used as
    a mere tool to control Mestizos, indios, sangley and etc. back in the day. Moreover,
    marriage played a huge role in expanding the Catholicism within Chinese and indios.
    Mestizo offspring reared by parents wed into catholic matrimony tend to identify
    themselves with Philippines and Spain rather than China. Learning about this
    convinced me more that not wanting to involve myself in any religion is okay and
    acceptable because religious beliefs are only built for the purpose of maintaining social
    solidarity.

    2. Three (3) Things that are still unclear to me


     According to one of the readings, the population of Chinese residing in Manila was
    wiped out in a massacre as the Chinese tried to revolt against the government.
    Casualties from the said massacre were around 20,000. In a similar event, Chinese
    residents were again massacred in the year 1639 due to rebellion. These events
    resulted to the royal orders of 1606 and 1622 which calls to limit the Chinese
    population to 6,000. The readings failed to make it clear as to why the Chinese still
    decided to settle within the country despite these unpleasant events. What is it that
    they find so special about our country at the time?
     Despite stumbling upon the terms indios and mestizos numerous times, it still
    remains quite confusing to me how the Spanish, Chinese or Filipinos are labeled as
    the said social classifications accordingly. What concrete criteria are considered to
    best describe each of these terms? Are Chinese people automatically considered as
    mestizos? Or do they have to reside within the country in order to be called as such?
     Another thing that was unclear to me is the fact that the Spanish government used
    to be open to cultural pluralism at first, yet decided to expel all Chinese by the year
    1696. Doesn’t this decision contradict their tradition of recognizing cultural
    differences present within the system? What forced them to make this decision?

    3. I used to think that….


    Before reading the article, I used to think that there were only Spaniards and
    Filipinos residing within the country during the Spanish regime. The readings made it clear
    to me that Chinese settlers also populated the archipelago of Philippines during the time
    that Spain colonized our country. This gives me the idea of why Binondo and some
    provinces in the Philippines are inhabited with Chinese and Filipino-Chinese people most
    commonly known as “Tsinoys”.

    4. Three (3) questions that I want to ask about the readings


     What acts did the Chinese do when they tried to revolt against the Spanish
    government? In what way did they try to wrestle against power?
     Would there be any difference at all if the Spaniards did not recognize the cultural
    differences in its system? What would happen if the Spanish government did not
    assign any particular social classification to its inhabitants?
     Is there a possibility for the Chinese to colonize our country if ever the Spanish
    regime never occurred in Philippine history? What would that make of us?
