In between 1702 and 1725, Antonio Perez handled Oliver Perez's sugar business' trade. First, the harvested sugar was loaded onto carriages in major farms such as in Bais City and Manapla. They then transported to ports. Then by boats in ports such as Dumaguete, Negros Oriental and Cadiz City, Negros Occidental to locations such as Cebu City, Cebu and Manila, Metro Manila where they would be consumed by the rich Spaniards. A small percentage of that sugar ended upon merchant ships going to Hong Kong, China and Beijing. This was so successful that at one point, Perez Sugar was one of the richest businesses of the Philippines.
