    The document summarizes a reading about Jose Rizal and the Chinese mestizo population in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. Some key points learned were that Chinese mestizo referred to those of mixed Chinese and native ancestry, they were legally defined as a separate group, and they paid higher taxes than indigenous people but lower than those of purely Chinese heritage. It remains unclear why it was important to separate Chinese mestizos from ethnic Chinese. The reader used to think all Chinese ancestry groups had low social status, but learned it was more nuanced. Questions asked regard Rizal's ancestry, reasons for the legal separation of groups, and lack of Chinese women immigrants.

    The Life and Works of Jose Rizal

    Metacognitive Reading Report # _2_

    Name: Emmanuel Freeman H. Paloma Date: Feb. 24,


    2020

    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?
