Catholic, Sangley, Mestizo, Spaniard, Filipino: Negotiating Catholic, Sangley, Mestizo, Spaniard, Filipino: Negotiating "Chinese" Identities at the Turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century Manila- Richard T. Chu Introduction Among the Chinese diasporic communities in Southeast,Asia, none offers more distinct food for thought in the study of identities than the case of the Philippine Chinese. For compared to their Southeast Asian counterparts, they and their descendants had experienced living under the control of not just one but three colonial regimes (Spanish, American, Japanese), and under the influence of two nationalist movements (Chinese and Filipino) -all of which had different ways of classifying their ethnic identities. Furthermore, the Catholic Church had had a very strong interest in their conversion since the Spaniards colonized the Philippines in 1565, leading scholars to take into account when studying their ethnicity both State and Church classifications.' Thus, the study of the ethnogenesis of the Philippine Chinese-especially when viewed from the perspective of the Chinese themselves-offers potentially rich, new, and important insights into the meanings and complexity of what constitutes a "Chinese" and a "Catholic" over time, •An earlier version of this paper was presented at the panel on "Transnational Communities in the Philippines," Sixth International Philippine Studies Conference, Quezon City, 11 July 2000. I am particularly grateful to Edgar Wickberg, John E. Wills, [r., Charlotte Furth, and Eugenio Menegon for their comments. .space, and context. But while there have been few studies focusing on the legal and ethno-religious categories constructed by these hegemonic groups, there have been even fewer studies analyzing the ways these diasporic "Chinese" managed to creatively adapt to and appropriate the meanings and symbolisms of their localized identifications (for instance, Hodder, 1996; and Szanton-Blanc, 1997). Overview of Related Literature Historical works on the Philippine Chinese share with other studies of "overseas Chinese" communities the same bias towards the use of earlier sociological and anthropological theories of ethnicity­ theories that are based on the concepts of assimilation and integration and often tied-up to nation-based metanarratives (Ong and Nonini, 1997:7).2 Thus, the i'Chinese" in the different Southeast Asian countries are often viewed as one discrete, homogeneous group pitted against a similarly homogenized community of "Thais," "Indonesians," "Malaysians," "Filipinos," etc., while the creole offspring of these "Chinese" - the lukjins of Thailand, the babas of Malaysia, the peranakans of Indonesia, or the mestizos of the Philippines - are considered either as having formed another distinct ethnic group, or having been assimilated into one of the local ethnic groups (see Skinner, 1957, 1959, and 1996; Purcell, 1948; Tan, 1988; Willmott, 1956; Williams, 1960; Coppel, 1983; Suryadinata, 1979; Wickberg, 1964, 2000). However, recent works in cultural studies have shown these ethnic constructions to be the modus operandi by which national governments and other dominant groups have sought to control others in order to achieve certain political ends (Anderson, 1991; Eley and Suny, 1996; Hobsbawn and Ranger, 1983). For instance, while the formation of a united "Chinese" community in the Philippines may have provided the "Chinese" there with some form of leverage and protection against increasing uncertainty and hostility over their fate as an "alien" community during the American colonial period, this reification of their identity had also fostered local ethnic tension. Thus, we as scholars may unwittingly contribute to this ethnic tension if and when we fail to question and deconstruct the 42 "CHINESE" IDENTITIES AT THETURN-OF-THE-1'wENTIETH-eENTURY MANILA administrative, ideological, and religious classificatory systems of the colonial rulers and the nationalist rhetoric of the leaders in China and in the Philippines. In fact, many scholars have already begun to veer away from such an approach to the study of ethnicity, focusing instead on how different ethnic groups view themselves and others (see, for example, Leonard, 1992; Oxfeld, 1993; Chan and Wong, 1998). Such an approach not only provides us with a more complex and sophisticated understanding of "identity" but also brings back agency to the people whom we study. Following the lead of these studies, I plan to show in this paper how the "Chinese" and their families at the turn of the century negotiated their differing identities and cultural backgrounds. Through an investigation of some of their familial "border-crossing" practices, particularly their marriage practices and dispensation of their wealth and property, I hope to show how they managed to creatively appropriate Chinese, Spanish, Catholic, and local practices in their everyday lives. My main argument is to show that the so-called "Chinese" and their "mestizo" offspring during the late-nineteenth century were not distinctly separate and homogeneous ethnic groups. Rather, I argue that the categories "Catholic," "sangley," or "mestizo" can also be understood as flowing along a shifting and problematic continuum. Consequently, I hope to offer an alternative view to the modern-day nationalist constructions of a rigid, unchanging, and universal "Chinese" and "Filipino" binary; and to past studies using the assimilationist-integrationist model in the study of the Chinese in the Philippines. I must point out that this paper is a preliminary research report. But in writing and presenting it, I hope to alert other scholars to new archival materials that can be used for the study of the Chinese and mestizos in the Philippines, inform them of the direction of my research, solicit their feedback and comments, and invite them to use a similar approach in the study of ethnic relations and identities in the Philippines. Before proceeding to discuss these marriage and inheritance cases, I wouldlike to give an overview of the different ethno-legal classifications used by the Spanish and American colonial rulers for the Chinese and their families at the end of the nineteenth and R. T.CHU 43 the beginning ·of the twentieth centuries. Also, I would like to highlight how other scholars, particularly Edgar Wickberg, have analyzed the relations between the Chinese and their mestizo descendants. Historical Background The Spanish Colonial Period: 1565 to 1898 According to Edgar Wickberg, in areas penetrated by the Spaniards, and particularly in those that later became centers of trade and commerce, there grew different cultural communities consisting of Spaniards, the natives, and the Chinese (2000:7). Soon, socio-cultural and political distinctions among them were built into the Spanish 'colonial administrative structure. Aside from the category "Spaniard," the classification"indio" was used for the natives, while the Chinese were called "sangley."3 But as unions between the Chinese and the natives grew in number, so did the number of mestizo children. Thus, around the middle of the eighteenth century, another classification was created for these creole offspring, turning urban centers like Manila and Cebu into a community of "indios," "sangleys," and "mestizos."4 Initially, this division among the different groups under Spanish colonial rule was mainly drawn along tax purposes. However, this division soon included rights to travel, property ownership, and participation in government. For such rights, the division was two-fold, in that the indios and the mestizos shared the same rights while the Chinese did not (Wickberg, 1964:64-65; 2000:31). Wickberg also notes that the creation of a mestizo class was partly a result of the Spaniards' policy of conversion and control. The Chinese who chose to convert enjoyed more benefits than those who did not. Among the benefits they had was the opportunity to marry local women. The Spaniards hoped that with the creation of more Catholic Chinese-mestizo families, not only would they be carrying out their mission of conversion, but they would also be creating a colony of loyal and faithful subjects (2000:68-69).5 44 "CHINESE" IDENTITIES AT THE TURN-oF-THE-TWENTIETH-eENTIJRY MANILA However, from around the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries, the Spanish colonial government began to slowly remove the benefits enjoyed by Chinese converts over non-converts. For instance, the restrictions commonly reserved for non-Catholics, such as the restrictions on the freedom of travel or to own land, were gone by the late eighteenth century. Moreover, the Spaniards stopped classifying them according to religious affiliation" and began to classify them instead in terms of residence status, i.e, as "transient" (invernado) or "resident" (radicado) (Wickberg, 2000:155). But in spite of the fact that religious affiliation no longer was the basis for classifying the Chinese, it still played an important role up to the end of the Spanish colonial period. For instance, those who aspired to state-recognized leadership positions still had to be Catholic. And even if the Spanish Civil Code that was extended to the Philippines in- 1889 allowed people to many in civil courts, this change was never carried out, thus making conversion still a prerequisite (Fisher, 1947:vi; Wiley, n.d:138). Furthermore, in 1840, when the Spaniards made it possible for the Chinese to become naturalized subjects of Spain, one had to be baptized in order to qualify for naturalization." Lastly, in my own research I have found government and Church documents

    CAPÍTULO 2 CAPÍTULO 2. LA FORMACIÓN DEL PARIÁN DE MANILA: LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE UN EQUILIBRIO INESTABLE Manel Ollé Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona Chinos y españoles convivieron en Manila durante más de dos siglos en una relación que a pesar de su duración y a pesar de estar fundamentada e incentivada en el provecho comercial mutuo, se caracterizó por su recurrente conflictividad, por ser al mismo tiempo simbiótica y llena de suspicacias, prejuicios y una permanente falta de entendimiento. La labor evangelizadora de los padres dominicos entre los chinos de Manila generó catecismos y tratados teológicos en chino, gramáticas y vocabularios, y la primera traducción de un clásico chino a una lengua europea: el Mingxin baojian 《明心宝 鉴》 , traducido por Juan Cobo.1 Fueron intercambios culturales pioneros y relevantes, pero aislados y escasos en el contexto de una intensa y larga interacción mercantil. El objetivo de esta intervención es reflexionar sobre el proceso de formación del Parián de Manila, el barrio chino de la alcaicería, es decir del mercado de la seda, y el modelo de interacción mercantil y social que allí se articuló. Durante las tres primeras décadas de presencia colonial española en Filipinas asistimos a una final toma de conciencia de la debilidad real de la posición que goza la colonia española de Filipinas en el contexto asiático. Cuando empiezan a llegar noticias de las amenazas del máximo dirigente japonés Toicosama Hideyoshi, a principios de la década de 1590, se hace evidente la debilidad manifiesta de unos pocos centenares de españoles en tierra asiática insular, dispersa y llena de territorios y compañías mercantiles en liza.

  • Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines
    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.

  • The South China Trade with Spanish Philippine Colony up to 1762 SERAPIN D
    International Seminar for UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue: “Manila as an entrepot in the trans-pacific commerce”. 5-6, February, 1991. Manila, The Philippines. The South China Trade with Spanish Philippine Colony up to 1762 SERAPIN D. QOXASOH Chairman National Historical Institute The topic that I have chosen to discuss this afternoon is perhaps too broad a subject in itself for a brief paper. I do feel that much of what I have to say is impressionistic and qualitative based, in part, on my studies on English trade relations with the Philippines in the 17th and 18th centuries and, in part, on my readings on early Chinese relations with Nanyang, as well as the Philippine archipelago. My paper, therefore, is only preliminary attempt that may provide interesting ideas for further research. Whatever up-to-date knowledge we have relating to the early South China trade with Southeast Asia, including the Philippines has been derived from contemporary sources. These are Wang Gung Was A Short History of the Nangenq Chinese; N.A. Simoniya's Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia; Chen Ho Chen's The Overseas Chinese in the Philippines during the 16th Century; Tien Tse Cheng's Sino- Portuguese Trade from 15th and 16th; Pierre Chaunu's Less Philippines et al, Pacifique del Iberiques, Lourdes Diaz Trechuelo, The Role of the Chinese in the Philippine Domestic Economy, William L.

  • Philippine History and Government
    Remembering our Past 1521 – 1946 By: Jommel P. Tactaquin Head, Research and Documentation Section Veterans Memorial and Historical Division Philippine Veterans Affairs Office The Philippine Historic Past The Philippines, because of its geographical location, became embroiled in what historians refer to as a search for new lands to expand European empires – thinly disguised as the search for exotic spices. In the early 1400’s, Portugese explorers discovered the abundance of many different resources in these “new lands” heretofore unknown to early European geographers and explorers. The Portugese are quickly followed by the Dutch, Spaniards, and the British, looking to establish colonies in the East Indies. The Philippines was discovered in 1521 by Portugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and colonized by Spain from 1565 to 1898. Following the Spanish – American War, it became a territory of the United States. On July 4, 1946, the United States formally recognized Philippine independence which was declared by Filipino revolutionaries from Spain. The Philippine Historic Past Although not the first to set foot on Philippine soil, the first well document arrival of Europeans in the archipelago was the Spanish expedition led by Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan, which first sighted the mountains of Samara. At Masao, Butuan, (now in Augustan del Norte), he solemnly planted a cross on the summit of a hill overlooking the sea and claimed possession of the islands he had seen for Spain. Magellan befriended Raja Humabon, the chieftain of Sugbu (present day Cebu), and converted him to Catholicism. After getting involved in tribal rivalries, Magellan, with 48 of his men and 1,000 native warriors, invaded Mactan Island.

  • Section 9 Examination of Sangley As Naia Third Runway
    SECTION 9 EXAMINATION OF SANGLEY AS NAIA THIRD RUNWAY JICA¶s Information Collection Survey For New Manila International Airport JICA In the Republic of the Philippines DOTC SECTION 9: EXAMINATION OF SANGLEY AS NAIA THIRD RUNWAY 9.1 Introduction 9.1.1 Objective It is widely accepted that NAIA is rapidly approaching its capacity limit. In the past, several studies were carried out to seek for efficient capacity enhancement measures for NAIA including: i) Provision of additional rapid exit taxiways to minimize the runway occupancy time of aircraft at NAIA; ii) Extension of parallel taxiways for on both sides of RWY 13/31, etc. and expansion of the aircraft parking apron at NAIA; iii) Improvement of nighttime operation capability at local airports in the Philippines to further utilize the runway slots during off-peak hours at NAIA; iv) Improvement of connectivity of local international airports in the Philippines thus reducing transfer traffic at NAIA. These measures would mitigate the serious capacity constraints at NAIA, but would not significantly increase NAIA¶s runway capacity. Meanwhile there is existing Major Danilo Atienza Air Base at Sangley (hereinafter referred to as ³SANGLEY´), and there was an idea to utilize SANGLEY as the third runway or supplemental airport for NAIA, thus physically increasing the capacity of runway system. In this Section a possibility to utilize SANGLEY as the supplemental airport for NAIA has been examined from airspace utilization as well as physical facility planning viewpoints as discussed below. As a consequence, following key findings have been identified: i) Serving aircraft at SANGLEY should be limited to PAS-OPS aircraft categories A and B such as DHC-8-300 and ATR 72 only to avoid conflict with RP-P1; ii) Construction of an access bridge would be necessary even for temporary operation of SANGLEY until opening of NMIA.

Shanks (AP-180, a 10,00 ton transport carrying about 2000 of us) , I remember the bunks stacked 4 high with just enough room to squeeze in and the narrow aisles to get to the Head and the Mess area, the food trays sliding around during rough weather, running the projector showing movies up on deck (and the abuse with every malfunction), crossing the international date line initiation festivities (we never did cross the equator), but most of the rest of it was just a blur. We had stopped at Oahu for a short while but couldn’t get off the ship. All in all it took a little over 3 weeks to get to Manila. (After dropping us off, this ship went to Eniwetok where it participated in the nuclear tests held there in November of 1952). 1 I remember walking off the ship with all my gear (in one big heavy sea bag) on swaying, bouncing planks between other large ships thinking that if I slipped into the water without being seen and didn’t come up, it would probably be days until I was missed.

Jerry Bentley and his world history program were what lured me to study at UH and my years working under him, while few, were tremendously rewarding. The World History program at Hawaii proved to be a dynamic intellectual community that aided me in more ways that can be counted. My interest in the Acapulco-Manila galleon trade began back in 2007 at San Diego State University while working under David Christian and Paula De Vos, both of whom helped me set the groundwork for this study as an MA thesis.
