Country comparison
History
Both Argentina and the Philippines share a common history in the fact that both nations were once part of the Spanish Empire. During the Spanish colonial period, Argentina was then part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and administered from Buenos Aires while the Philippines was governed from the Viceroyalty of New Spain in Mexico City.
Contacts between the Philippines and Latin America, including the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata (present-day Argentina), became increasingly fluid, buoyed by trade and migration. The Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade was linked to another trade route that plied between Acapulco and Puerto Callao in Peru. From there, a land route via the Andes Mountains passed through Potosí in present-day Bolivia and then onward to Tucuman and Cordoba in present-day Argentina.
In 1778, the Spanish Empire opened the port of Buenos Aires to trade coming from the Indian Ocean. In March 1785, the Real Compañia de Filipinas was established that linked Manila to South America via the Indian Ocean and remained active until 1812. The company opened a trading house in Buenos Aires in 1789, and its warehouse was located in what is now known as Parque Lezama.
