    The document discusses the 19th century Philippine economy and the role of Chinese mestizos. It describes how Jose de Basco y Vargas, the first governor-general of the Philippines, established the Royal Philippine Company in 1785 to manage trade between the Philippines, Spain, Europe, and other Asian markets. This led to the rapid development of the Philippine economy through cash crops like tobacco, sugar, cotton, indigo, abaca, and coffee being exported. The document also notes that Chinese mestizos, who had one Chinese and one native parent, played an important role in the economy as "necessary outsiders".
