Emigration and immigration sources list the names of people leaving (emigrating) or arriving (immigrating) in the country. These sources may be passenger lists, permissions to emigrate, or records of passports issued. The information in these records may include the emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, destinations, and places of origin or birthplaces. Sometimes they also show family groups. | |||

* | ===Immigration to the Philippines=== | ||
* | *'''Spanish colonization''' began in 1565. In 1571, '''Spanish Manila''' became the '''capital of the Spanish East Indies'''', which encompassed Spanish territories in Asia and the Pacific. | ||
* | *The Spanish successfully invaded the different local states, bringing most of what is now the Philippines into a single unified administration. | ||
* | *From 1565 to 1821, the Philippines was governed as '''part of the Mexico-based Viceroyalty of New Spain''', later administered from Madrid following the Mexican War of Independence. | ||
*Manila was the '''western hub of the trans-Pacific trade'''. | |||
*During its rule, Spain quelled various indigenous revolts, as well as defending against external military challenges. Spanish forces included soldiers from elsewhere in New Spain, '''many of whom deserted and intermingled with the wider population.''' Under Spanish rule there was also immigration from elsewhere in the empire, '''especially from Latin America''''. | |||
*'''Chinese Filipinos''' are mostly the descendants of immigrants from '''Fujian in China'''' after 1898, numbering around 2 million, although there are an estimated 20 percent of Filipinos who have partial Chinese ancestry, stemming from precolonial and colonial Chinese migrants. | |||
*As of 2015, there were 220,000 to 600,000 '''American citizens'''' living in the country. There are also up to 250,000 Amerasians scattered across the cities of '''Angeles, Manila, Clark and Olongapo.''' | |||
*Other important non-indigenous minorities include '''Indians and Arabs'''. | |||
*There are also '''Japanese people''', which include escaped Christians (Kirishitan) who fled persecutions which the Spanish empire in the Philippines had offered asylum from.<ref>"Philippines", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines#Colonial_rule_(1565%E2%80%931946), accessed 23 June 2021.</ref> | |||
=== | ==== Filipino Immigration to the United States ==== | ||
*Some Filipino immigrants arrived in the United States as early as the mid-1700s, but most immigrants came after 1900. | |||
*Changes in U.S. agricultural techniques on the West Coast and in Hawaii created a high demand for labor. While persons from many countries were recruited to work in '''Hawaiian sugar cane plantations''', Filipinos were the best source of labor because the Philippines was under U.S. administration for the first few decades of the twentieth-century. | |||
*Between 1900 and 1930, over 63,000 Filipinos immigrated to Hawaii and over 45,000 Filipinos immigrated to the mainland. | |||
