Inocencio Junquera

Inocencio Junquera

Gen. Inocencio Junquera was a civil and political governor of Cebu, Philippines, from 1893-1895. He left a legacy to Cebuano culture by establishing the Teatro Junquera, the most important theater of Cebu in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Junquera's reign was marked by protests from the Spanish friars, who saw Junquera as a liberal (he was) because he supported church-state separation.
