Centuries before Magellan, Chinese traders settled in what is now the town of Lian in Batangas province to trade with locals. When asked by Spanish settlers what the name of the place was, a Chinese trader named Li-An answered "Lian", which is how the town got its name. San Diego beach in Lian is a popular tourist destination known for its beauty and proximity to the mangrove rock formation, where visitors can stroll, take pictures, and enjoy the scenery.

3. Centuries before Ferdinand Magellan
discovered the Philippine Island, Chinese
traders were already bartering their porce-
lains, saucers beads, needles and the like with
cotton, pearls shells and other pro-ducts of the
natives.

4. In Luzon, especially in Batangas Province,
some of these Chinese trades settled along the
seashore of community called San Diego (now
one the Barangay of Lian) until the Spaniards
came to place. Incidentally, a Chinese trader
whose name was “LI-AN” was asked by Spaniard
leader, “Que es el nombre este lugar? (what is the
name of this place?). Thinking that his name was
the answered “LIAN”. The Spaniard thinking that
this was already a town nodded and said “SI,si,el
pueblo de Lian” (Yes,yes,the town of Lian).
