    QUESTION:
    What were the most important economic changes in the Philippines in 19th
    century? (30 POINTS)

    Towards the end of the 18th century, political and economic changes in
    Europe finally began to affect Spain and, consequently, the Philippines.
    An important stimulus to trade was the gradual elimination of the
    monopoly enjoyed by the galleon in Acapulco. The last galleon arrived
    in Manila in 1815, and by the mid-1830s Manila was open to foreign
    merchants with almost no restrictions. The demand for Philippine sugar
    and abaca (hemp) grew rapidly and the volume of exports to Europe
    increased further after the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869.
    The growth of commercial agriculture led to the emergence of a new
    class. The rice paddies of pre-Spanish nobility gave rise to coffee, hemp
    and sugar haciendas, often owned by enterprising Filipino Chinese
    mestizos. Some of the families that rose to prominence in the 19th
    century went on to play important roles in the economy and politics of
    the Philippines.
