Parián

Pariáns were districts of cities in the Philippines during the country's Spanish colonial era where Chinese (Sangley) were required to live by Spanish colonial authorities. In Luzon there are several towns and cities with districts for chinese settlers, the most famous being the parian of Manila which moved locations within the city from time to time, before finally settling on Binondo Chinatown, another is in the neighborhood of El Pariancillo in Vigan and Pariancillo in Malolos which was established in 1755 as a Chinese enclave of Malolos that were from migrants from Manila. There are also many other Pariáns throughout Luzon, such as Parian, Mexico, Pampanga that became the municipality's poblacion and Parian in Calamba, Laguna, and etc. In the Visayas, Cebu City had Pari-an, which is now a modern-day barangay in the city, and Iloilo City also had parians, which was located in the modern-day district of Molo. Cebu's parian was founded in 1590 after the arrival of Chinese traders and was supervised by the Jesuits.^[1] There were many more Pariáns throughout the Philippines during the Spanish Colonial Era.
