Many remnants of the Manila galleon trade exist today. For example, there exists in the province of Guadalajara a school named, "Escuela de las Islas de Filipinas" (School of the Philippine Islands). Guadalajara is very near to the Pacific coast, and was a stop for the many galleons that traveled between the Philippines and Spain.
The Filipinos that landed in Morro Bay in 1587 and lived in St. Malo, Louisiana also share these common roots. They are all vestiges of the Manila galleon trade era.
