Why did Chinese arrived in the Philippines?
During the Spanish Era, the Chinese went to the Philippines for merchandise and trade with Europe, Spain and other Malay countries. Another massive group immigrated to the Philippines in 1911 from China because 1911 was the beginning of Communism. A lot of Chinese including my ancestors didn't like the concept of Communist. So they fled, Some went to Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Philippines... When I say Some - it means 100s of thousand..) So don't assume all Chinese in the Philippines are there for business.
