Signature

Miguel Lino de Ezpeleta (sometimes spelled as de Espeleta; June 1701 in Manila – July 1771 in Cebu) was a Spanish criollo born in Manila who served as the Bishop of Cebu from 1757 until his death in 1771. Consequently, he assumed the position as the governor-general from 1759 to 1761 during Spanish intervention to the Seven Years' War and prelude to the occupations of Manila and Cavite.
