Economic and Political Situation of the Philippines in the 19th Century
- The British occupation of Manila (1762-1764) and European economic development prompted reforms in the Philippines.
- The Galleon Trade was abolished, opening the country to world trade in 1830.
- This allowed the entry of foreign ideas, primarily through printed media.

- In 1594, Governor Luis Perez Dasmariñas established Binondo as a permanent settlement for Chinese mestizos (mixed Chinese and Filipino descent) who converted to Catholicism.
- Binondo became a center for trade and intermarriage, leading to the growth of the Chinese mestizo community.
- Chinese mestizo communities emerged in various parts of the archipelago, including Santa Cruz and Tondo in Manila.
- During the Spanish colonial period, Filipinos were categorized as Spaniards, Indios, and Chinese.
