Fernando Manuel de Bustillo Bustamante y Rueda served as Spanish Governor-General in the Philippines from 1717 to 1719. Usually called the "Mariscal" (marshal) because he was the first field marshal to govern the islands, he was the former alcalde mayor of Trascala, in Nueva España. He was appointed governor by royal provision on September 6, 1708 and arrived at Manila on August 9, 1717. He was considered severe in judgments. He reestablished the garrison at Zamboanga (in 1718).

Famous quotes containing the word manuel:
“And Manuel embraced his mother and they laughed together: Délira’s laugh sounded surprisingly young; that was because she hadn’t really had the chance to make it heard; life was just not happy enough for that. No, she never had time to use it; she had kept it fresh as can be, like a birdsong in an old nest.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
