    Hacienda on Negros Island

    1848 – The Recollects acquired Negros from the secular clergy and the island became their mission field

    1850 – Joined the club of major sugar producers

    - Had only four (4) sugar hacenderos


    (1) The creole Augustin Montilla in Bago
    (2) Basque Eusebio Ruiz de Luzuriaga in Bacolod
    (3) Frenchman Ives Leopold de Germain Gaston in Silay (supervised the planting of sugarcane and
    the construction of steam powered mill in the estate of the creole Domingo Roxas in

    Sugar haciendas in Negros – cultivated directly by tenants or number of families called acsas

    - The acsas (agsa) or sharecroppers were provided with work animals, farm equipment and cash
    advances to attract them to remain in the farm unlike in Calamba
    - Hacenderos aimed to transform these peasants into a loyal workforce through the act of
    paternalism
    - For that reason, Negros is more productive than Calamba even though the latter started earlier
