The Frenchman, Francois-Edmond Paris drew these pictures of Philippine costumes when he visited Manila on his second voyage of circumnavigation on the ship La Favorite .
The presence of foreigners has had a great effect on the dress of the Tagals, the inhabitants of Manila. The effect on their customs is equally marked. The resultant new prosperity and trading relations have refined the customs of a population which is receptive to civilisation.
