The eleven articles in this second volume explore anew specific problems affecting the Chinese community in the Philippines. Arranged chronologically, these papes were presented in coferences on the ethnic Chinese held locally and abroad. This volume, however, is not meant merely for academics but for everybody who is interested and concerned about the new developments happening in the community today.

This second volume carries the task further and posits that the old image of an immigrant Chinese community linked closely to their homes in China is long gone. In its stead is the image of a vibrant and well-integrated Chinese-Filipino community, no different from the other cultural communities in the Philippines in their hopes and aspirations.
