Abstract:This paper sets the time in the 30 years of 1945-1975,taking the end of World War II as the starting point,and the Philippines realizes the “full Philippineization” and the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China as the end point. The Philippines was colonized by the United States in the wake of Spanish colonial rule,and experienced a brief occupation by Japan. Before the independence of the Philippines,due to the war between the United States and Spain,the political instability in southern Fujian,the persecution by the Japanese army,the number of Filipino Chinese has been changing. After the independence of the Philippines,although it took a strict immigration policy,the number of Filipino Chinese has been increased,at the same time,the Chinese began to integrate into the local area,and the Chinese society changed from an immigrant society to a civil society. At the outset,for convenient management,Spanish colonial government took steps to restrict personal residence of Filipino Chinese,which led to the beginning of the formation of the Chinese society in the Philippines. Afterwards,due to the successive establishment of the Overseas Chinese Group,Overseas Chinese Newspaper,and Overseas Chinese School,coupled with the protection of the home country’s consul,the Chinese society has gradually matured. The first overseas Chinese school in the Philippines was co-founded by the Qing government’s consulate and the Chinese society. Then,in order to promote overseas Chinese education,the Overseas Chinese Education Association was established to assist the Chinese society in setting up schools. The key to the Overseas Chinese Education Association’s ability to play such an important role is that it coordinated the “additional education donations” of the overseas Chinese society,which was one of the important sources of funding for overseas Chinese schools in the Philippines before World War II.
