    Chinese influence in the Philippines was largely in the economic


    rather than social or cultural side. Early records show that Chinese
    traded with the Philippines as early as the 13th century. They traded
    goods like porcelain, silk, damask, beads, iron pot, lead fishnet sinkers, tin
    and iron needles in exchange for local products.
    The most popular traded pieces were the porcelain jars which were
    highly-priced by the ancient Filipinos. They had functional value as
    they were used as grain or wine containers. The bigger jars served as
    burial jars.
    During the Spanish regime, the Chinese were not only traders but
    were also master-builders and craftsmen. They helped in the construc-
    tion of churches and residences. The Chinese invented materials made of
    lime from coral stones and seashells. These were turned into bricks and
    tiles and used as building materials. Some of the Chinese were also good
    sculptors. The stone lions at the gates of San Agustin church are evidences
    of their art and skill in sculpture. The Chinese sculptors also carved santos
    or wooden images.

    than on the cultural or social aspect.
    2. Why were the porcelain pieces favored by the wealthy Filipinos?
    3. Prove that the Chinese were also good at sculpting.
    4. What local goods do you think did the natives exchange for the
    silk cloth, iron pots and needles of the Chinese traders?
