    The Chinese Mestizo in Philippine History

    Metacognitive Reading Report # 2

    Name: CARREON, Keneth C. Date: 02/25/2020

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

    • I learned how deep is the connection between Filipinos and Chinese


    citizens through the emergence of their descendant called ‘Chinese
    Mestizo’. These Chinese Mestizo played a significant role in uplifting our
    race during the Spanish colonization by dominating the commerce, rising
    the social status from middle class up to social prestige, and actively
    participating in social reforms lead by Dr. Jose Rizal. One of great example
    is Doroteo Ongjungco, who opened his house to Rizal paving the foundation
    of La Liga Filipina, a progressive organization aiming for reform movement.

    • The articles made me realized how Filipinos were severely treated slave in
    their own lands and how they are considered as one of the lowest social
    group of the society. I learned how social stratification, like how the
    Philippine society were divided before into Indio, Chinese Mestizo and
    Chinese severely affects the people within a society. Unfortunately, social
    stratification does still exist today creating a larger gap within Philippine
    society.

    • I also learned that Chinese Mestizo played a vital role in the formation of
    Filipino Identity and dignity as they have been fighting along with the
    Filipinos for their rights. The birth of the Filipino consciousness was even
    documented and emphasize by Pedro Paterno and Gregorio Sancianco,
    both Chinese Mestizo. Sancianco was even the first one to explain that
    Filipinos are not really indolent, it was their reaction to the long due
    exploitation of the Spanish government.

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

    • I find it confusing because it was mentioned in the text that Chinese Mestizo
    holds the biggest wealth in the Philippine during their era and they even
    made the Cebu rich province yet they did not even made any significant
    movement that could possible defeat the Spaniards.

    • If the Chinese Mestizo are on the side of the Filipino or Indio at that time,
    why it was mentioned that they are buying the natives land that they even
    conquered most of the provinces?

    • Another vague idea for me in the text was the idea of why the Spaniards
    allow the Chinese Mestizo be the ‘Economic Giant’ of their times if they
    are threatened in the first place by their education and liberty?
    3. I used to think that Chinese are people that Filipino should not trust in
    comparison with Americans. With the recent issues arising between China and
    Philippines especially in the course of West Philippine Sea, most Filipino lose
    their trust to Chinese as we felt abused. But after reading these articles which
    describe how deep is the relationship of the early Filipinos and Chinese in terms
    of economic, social and cultural aspect that even pave way for the birth of
    Chinese Mestizo, I realized that China, somehow have played a significant role
    to whom we are right now. It they helped us build who we are before and even
    help us during our darkest years, I think it is not impossible to bring back that
    healthy camaraderie between us two nations.

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

    • Why is there’s almost no recognition in for the contributions of the Chinese


    Mestizo for the Philippine Independence in our history textbooks and
    classes?

    • If the Spanish government is threatened before in the emerging population


    of Chinese Mestizo who are more educated and liberated than Indios, why
    did they not created a policy deporting all the Chinese way back in China?
    How are the Spaniards benefited from the existence of Chinese commerce
    in the Philippines?

    • Aside from Jose Rizal who had a bloodline of being a Chinese Mestizo, who
    other Filipino heroes are considered Chinese Mestizo?
