104. When the Spaniards came to
the Philippines, our ancestors were
already trading with China, Japan, Siam,
India, Cambodia, Borneo and the
Moluccas. The Spanish government
continued trade relations with these
countries, and the Manila became the
center of commerce in the East. The
Spaniards closed the ports of Manila to
all countries except Mexico. Thus, the
Manila–Acapulco Trade, better known as
the "Galleon Trade" was born. The
Galleon Trade was a government
monopoly. Only two galleons were used:
One sailed from Acapulco to Manila with
some 500,000 pesos worth of goods,
spending 120 days at sea; the other
sailed from Manila to Acapulco with
some 250,000 pesos worth of goods
spending 90 days at sea.
