General Manuel Bonilla Chirinos (7 June 1849 – 21 March 1913) was a military officer with the rank of Major General and President of Honduras[1] from 13 April 1903 to 25 February 1907, and again from 1 February 1912 to 21 March 1913.[2] He had previously served as Vice President of Honduras from 1895 to 1899.[3]
Manuel Bonilla Chirinos was born in Juticalpa, Olancho, on 7 June 1849.[4][5] His parents were Jorge Bonilla and María Dominga Chirinos. He was initially liberal and active in the Partido Liberal de Honduras[6] (PLH) and led the Manuelistas to form the right-wing Partido Nacional de Honduras[7][8] (PNH).
In December 1910, Bonilla led an insurrection against led President Davila.[9] The United States negotiated an armistice between the factions where it was agreed to hold elections in March 1911.[9]
As president, he granted generous concessions to United Fruit.[10][11][12] During his presidency, the country's schools are said to have improved[13] and the mining industry to have benefited.[14] He commissioned the construction of the Teatro Nacional Manuel Bonilla in the capital Tegucigalpa.[15]
