     As discussed in the Introduction, the sangley was intimately associated with the economic activity of trade: even though there were sangleyes who worked as artisans (and in some cases farmers and fishermen), sangley involvement in the China-Manila-Mexico galleon trade was a key element of the early Spanish colonial economy. The sangley was also characterized by his high level of mobility, that is, his "frequent coming" from somewhere not here but near.
