The Manila Chinese Cemetery ({{zh|t=華僑義山|s=华侨义山|p=Huáqiáo Yìshān|poj=Hôa-kiâo Gī-san|l=Overseas Chinese Cemetery}}; {{langx|es|Cementerío chino de Manila}}) is the second oldest cemetery in Manila after La Loma Cemetery. The cemetery includes Christian, Buddhist and Taoist burials. The present-day cemetery is a vaguely trapezoidal area of about {{convert|54|ha}} with an irregular network of roads its old pre-war part along Rizal Avenue Extension, reflecting its gradual evolution and expansion. Meanwhile, the post-war portion has three major roads bisected by minor roads, aligned northwest to southeast. Matandang Sora, coming from the main entrance in Felix Huertas going towards Chong Hock Temple, is the main road today. Before the Pacific War the main entrances faced Avenida Rizal. This northwestern is the oldest and most historically significant part of the cemetery.{{cite journal |last1=Akpedonu |first1=Erik |title=The Manila Chinese Cemetery: A Repository of Tsinoy Culture and Identity |journal=Archipel |date=2016 |issue=92 |pages=111–153 |doi=10.4000/archipel.288 |url=http://journals.openedition.org/archipel/288 |access-date=November 20, 2020|url-access=subscription }} The cemetery was witness to many executions during World War II. Among them were Girl Scouts organizer Josefa Llanes Escoda, Filipino Brigadier General and hero during World War II and Boy Scouts of the Philippines charter member Vicente Lim, literary geniuses Liling Roces and Manuel Arguilla, star athlete-turned-guerrilla spy Virgilio Lobregat, and Chinese Consul General Yang Guangsheng. Apolinario Mabini was also buried in the cemetery before his remains were transferred to Batangas on July 23, 1956.

History

File:Philippine Island - Manila - NARA - 68156466.jpg

Prior to the establishment of the Manila Chinese Cemetery, Chinese who observed Buddhism had their burial grounds on a hill slope in Bangkusay, Tondo, near San Lazaro Hospital. In 1843, the Governor-General authorized the Chinese to establish a cemetery in La Loma. It was founded by Lim Ong and Carlos L. Palanca (Tan Quien-Sien) in the 1850s.{{cite news|url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/518095/did-you-know-manila-chinese-cemetery|title=Did you know: Manila Chinese Cemetery|publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=November 1, 2013|accessdate=August 15, 2022}} It was also enlarged on its present site in 1863 when Ong, the gobernadorcillo (mayor) of the Chinese community in Binondo, purchased land in La Loma to provide a decent burial ground for Catholic and non-Catholic Chinese. It would also cater outcasts of society (like those that died from contagious diseases and people who are political enemies of the Spanish Crown) excluded from the nearby La Loma Cemetery's consecrated grounds. It was also later expanded in 1878 by Don Mariano Fernando Yu Chingco, a subsequent gobernadorcillo, when he bought land worth {{₱|14,000}} to expand the cemetery from the Dominican Provincial which used to own the Hacienda de La Loma from which the cemetery was built. This cemetery catered the poor Chinese who could not afford to return to China to bury or send their dead.{{cite web|url=https://tulay.ph/2020/02/04/the-manila-chinese-cemetery/|title=The Manila Chinese Cemetery|author=Go Bon Juan|date=February 4, 2020|accessdate=August 15, 2022|website=Tulay}}

Built in 1878, the Chong Hock Tong Temple ({{zh|c=崇福堂|p=Chóngfútáng|poj=Chông-hok-tông}}), prior to its demolition in 2015,{{cite web|url=https://coconuts.co/manila/news/demolished-manilas-oldest-chinese-temple/|title=Exclusive! Demolished: Manila's oldest Chinese temple, it was 137 years old|last=Yu|first=Anson|date=March 21, 2015|website=Coconuts Manila|publisher=Coconuts Media|location=Manila|access-date=August 27, 2020}} was the oldest pre-War Chinese memorial temple in Manila. Its architecture was reminiscent of (but not as elaborate as) southern Fujian temples, as well as those in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, & Taiwan, with their colorful friezes and uniquely upturned eaves; a unique feature were its lateral belfries appended at each end, an obvious Christian influence.{{cite journal|last1=Chu|first1=Richard T.|last2=Ang-See|first2=Teresita|editor-last=Salmon|editor-first=Claudine|date=October 15, 2016|title=Toward a History of Chinese Burial Grounds in Manila during the Spanish Colonial Period|url=https://journals.openedition.org/archipel/pdf/283|journal=Archipel|issue=92|pages=63–90|doi=10.4000/archipel.283|access-date=August 30, 2020|doi-access=free}}

Its demolition on March 15, 2015, by the cemetery's management body Philippine Chinese Charitable Association (PCCA), supposedly due to termite damage, was denounced by heritage conservationists as a violation of R.A. 10066 (National Heritage Act of 2009), despite not being declared by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as a historical landmark.{{cite web|url=https://coconuts.co/manila/news/there-was-violation-says-heritage-conservation-society-demolition-137-year-old-chong-hock/|title=‘There was a violation,’ says Heritage Conservation Society on demolition of 137-year-old Chong Hock Tong Temple|last=Ong|first=James P.|date=March 22, 2015|website=Coconuts Manila|publisher=Coconuts Media|location=Manila|access-date=August 28, 2020}} The PCCA countered, claiming that the temple was on private property.{{cite web|url=https://coconuts.co/manila/news/temple-demolition-was-not-illegal-says-group-managing-chong-hock-tong-temple/|title=Temple demolition was not illegal, says group managing Chong Hock Tong Temple|last=Yu|first=Anson|date=March 23, 2015|website=Coconuts Manila|publisher=Coconuts Media|location=Manila|access-date=August 27, 2020}}

Supposedly the temple was to be rebuilt in a similar manner by a team of Taiwanese craftsmen & artisans, but was actually reconstructed as an all-stone edifice by mainland Chinese builders, which was then unveiled in a ceremony on June 14, 2017.{{cite web|url=https://www.flw.ph/thread-224419-1-1.html|script-title=zh:马尼拉华侨义山崇福堂举行重建落成典礼(多图)|date=June 15, 2017|website=菲龙网|publisher=菲龙网新闻部|location=Manila|language=zh|access-date=August 28, 2020}}

It is the only Chinese memorial temple to simultaneously host Taoist, Buddhist, & Christian services, the three major religious beliefs of the Filipino Chinese community. A unique feature that reflects this religious syncretism is the main altar laden with figures of the crucified Christ, the Virgin Mary, Catholic saints, Taoist Deities, Lord Buddha, Amitabha & prominent Buddhist Bodhisattvas (such as Guanyin, Mahāsthāmaprāpta, & Kṣitigarbha).{{cite web|url=http://tulay.ph/2019/11/12/syncretism-as-identity-catholicism-and-chinese-religions-in-the-philippines/|title=Syncretism as identity: Catholicism and Chinese religions in the Philippines|last=Dy|first=Ari C.|date=November 12, 2019|website=Tulay 橋|publisher=Tulay Fortnightly|access-date=August 29, 2020}}

Liat See Tong Temple ({{zh|c=烈士堂|p=Lièshìtáng|poj=Lia̍t-sǐ-tông|l=Martyrs Hall}})

was built in the early 1950s in honor of the 10 Chinese community leaders{{cite web|url=https://traveleronfoot.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/manila-chinese-cemetery/|title=Manila Chinese Cemetery|last=Martinez|first=Glenn|date=October 22, 2010|website=Traveler on Foot|publisher=WordPress|access-date=August 28, 2020}} who were executed by the Japanese during World War II.

Due to heightened anti-Japanese sentiment among the Chinese stemming from the Second Sino-Japanese War (preceded in 1931 by the Mukden Incident & the immediate Japanese invasion of Manchuria), the Japanese were wary of the potential trouble the Chinese might cause; as soon as Japan invaded the Philippines, one of their first activities after occupation was the rounding up & subsequent execution of prominent Chinese community leaders.

Above the entrance beam is the dedicatory quote, "May their noble spirits ever endure" ({{zh|t=浩氣長存|s=浩气长存|p=Hàoqì chángcún|poj=Hōⁿ-khì tiông-chûn}}).

It was through his efforts as gobernadorcillo that the cemetery & Chong Hock Tong Temple were built; as only baptized Catholics were permitted burial in the city cemeteries (like the nearby La Loma Cemetery), the need arose for the non-Christian Chinese (termed by the Spanish authorities as Chino infieles, "infidel Chinese") to have their own cemetery.

The Manila Chinese Cemetery Renovation Memorial ({{zh|t=整建華僑義山紀念碑|s=整建华侨义山纪念碑|p=Zhěngjiàn Huáqiáo Yìshān Jìniànbēi|poj=Chéng-kiàn Hôa-kiâo Gī-san Kì-liām-pi}}) is located adjacent to the front of Liat See Tong Hall.{{cite web|url=http://www.chinanews.com/hr/2017/11-02/8366499.shtml|script-title=zh:通讯:菲华度“亡人节”华侨义山家族聚会祭祖|last=关|first=向东|editor-last=何|editor-first=路曼|date=November 2, 2017|website=中国新闻网|publisher=China News Service|location=Manila|language=zh|access-date=August 30, 2020}}

Located along a street named in his honor (馬美爾路), Apolinario Mabini's former burial site is marked by a triangular pyramid on a raised pedestal, symbolic of his Masonic beliefs (hence his original interment at the cemetery in 1903); and a historical marker by the NHCP (then the "Philippine Historical Committee") affixed in 1963. His remains were exhumed in this place and transferred to the Mausoleo de los Veteranos de la Revolución. Years later, it was reburied in his hometown at Tanauan, Batangas.
