Resumo:The Captaincy General of the Philippines, dependent since its inception in the sixteenth century to the Viceroyalty of New Spain territory included the Spanish possessions in Asia and Oceania. The Philippines and especially its capital, Manila, was the most important nexus of the trade of the Hispanic world with China and other countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim.
