1. Three (3) Things that I significantly learned from the readings
Chinese mestizo is a Philippine term for persons of mixed Chinese-native race. Both the Chinese mestizo and the Spanish government agreed to the identification of Chinese mestizo as the formed a separate group and is legally defined as such by the Spanish government The Chinese mestizo pays double the tribute pay by the indio, and the Chinese pays a larger amount than that of the Chinese mestizos. This is on the grounds that the Chinese have a larger earning capacity than that of the Chinese mestizo.
2. Three (3) Things that are still unclear to me
It is still unclear to me why it was relevant to separate the Chinese mestizos from the Chinese.
3. I used to think that….
I used to think that people of Chinese ancestry in the Spanish colonial era were all treated the same way and were considered of the lowest class in society that only composed of merchants and dealers.
4. Three (3) questions that I want to ask about the readings
Is Jose Rizal truly of Chinese ancestry? Why was it important to separate the Chinese mestizos from those of purely Chinese heritage? Why were there a continued absence of Chinese women in the 17th century?
