Metacognitive Report # 2

The document discusses key things learned from readings about Jose Rizal and Chinese mestizos in the Philippines. It was learned that Chinese mestizo refers to those of mixed Chinese and native ancestry, that Chinese mestizos and the Spanish government agreed they were a separate group, and that Chinese mestizos and Chinese paid different amounts in tribute. It remains unclear why Chinese mestizos were separated from Chinese. The reader used to think all Chinese ancestry groups were treated the same, but now has questions about Rizal's ancestry, why the separation occurred, and the absence of Chinese women in the 17th century.

The Life and Works of Jose Rizal

Metacognitive Reading Report # _2_

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?
