End of The

Galleon Trade

REPORTER:
Domingo, Jezryl Kris
Daga, Ethel Mae
On September 14, 1815, the galleon trade
between the Philippines and Mexico ended a
few years before Mexico gained independence
from Spain in 1821.

The Spanish Crown took direct control of the


country, and was governed directly from
Madrid. The opening of the Suez Canal and the
invention of steam ships, which reduced the
travel time from Spain to the Philippines to 40
days, made this more manageable.
Galleon trade became the
fundamental income-generating
business for Spanish colonists
living in the Philippine Islands
with a total of 110 Manila
galleons set sail in the 250 years
of the Manila-Acapulco galleon
trade (1565 to 1815).
The Manila galleons or Manila-Acapulco
galleons sailed the Pacific for nearly
three centuries, bringing to Spain their
cargoes of luxury goods, economic
benefits and cultural exchange.

However, galleon trade benefited only a very


small coterie of privilege Spaniards – the
Spanish governor, members of the consulado
(merchants with consular duties and rights)
usually insulares, and Spanish residents in
Manila.
Positive results of the galleon trade
were the intercultural exchanges
between the Philippines and the
Americans, symbolized by no less than
the Mexican-made Virgin of Antipolo,
chosen as the patroness of the sailors,
who protected them from the untold
perils across the untold perils across the
Pacific.
The mango de Manila, tamarind and rice,
thecarabao(known by 1737 in Mexico), cockfighting,
Chinese tea and textiles, fireworks display, tuba (coconut
wine) making came to Mexico through the trans-Pacific
trade.
In exchange, the return
voyage brought innumerable
and valuable flora and fauna
into the Philippines: avocado,
guava, papaya, pineapple,
horses and cattle.

The moro-moro,moriones
festival, and the image of the
Black Nazarene of Quiapo
were also of Mexican origins.
The Manila-Acapulco
galleon trade began when
Andres de Urdaneta in
convoy under Miguel
Lopez de Legaspi,
discovered a return route
from Cebu City to Mexico
in 1565.
