Reining in the population is great news for the Philippines and a challenge for the rest of us, writes @Moss_Eco. The world needs to prepare now for a time when exports of labor become a trickle https://t.co/gPeFAcFdYE via @opinion

History, indeed bites us in the ass everytime.

[AprileX @aprilexsedlex]

Meow meow. Reading a little bit of history, I was surprised at how much the Spaniards tried their hardest to subjugate the other half of the population in the old Manila.

and Parians. Then they became not only the low merchant class forced to stay within their confines but a force of society to reckon with -able to control trades and markets all over the Philippines yet fiercely protecting their enclave and traditions.

The odious maltreatment of the Chinese even up to the time of Rizal (as you can probably remember from El Fili) makes my heart shake, They are treated as less than animals.
Tides turned when in the 1900s, a new wave of Chinese descended unto us and took over the old Binondos

[AprileX @aprilexsedlex]

Which is by way of saying that it's not hard to understand why the Chinese have not integrated with Filipinos given that there were legit Filipinos who have been living here since before the Muslims (Rajah Matandas family) even settled in Manila.

scattered across the entirety of the Philippines.
Whenever I venture for a Binondo food crawl, an unsettling hair-raising sensation creeps up my spine, when I remebr the harrowing tales that have stained its past.

[AprileX @aprilexsedlex]

In the late 1500s-early 1600s, the Spaniards mounted a campaign against the Chinese that led to the massacre of an estimated 20000 pax. The remaining traders found themselves confined within the walls of Binondo, widely recognized as the nation's inaugural Chinatown or Parian,

[AprileX @aprilexsedlex]

Not many people know today, but it wouldn't be a bad claim to say that the Chinese are one of the major settlers of Luzon. A lot of them came to trade, but a lot of them stayed to become the first merchant class in the Philippines.
