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 district for chinese settlers, the most famous is the parian of Manila which moved location within the city from time to time, 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. 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]
