Manilamen refers to the Filipino sailors who worked on Spanish galleons during the 16th to 19th centuries, particularly in the Manila-Acapulco trade route. They were crucial in connecting the Philippines and Mexico, contributing to cultural exchanges between Asia and the Americas. Many Manilamen settled in various parts of the Americas, especially in Louisiana and California, where they influenced local cultures and communities. Their legacy is a testament to the early global interactions facilitated by maritime trade.
