In a troubled Panama because of the Kuna revolution of 1925, Manuel Landero Pérez was born in David, Chiriquí on June 17.

Three months before his birth, the Panamanians native signed a peace treaty after they were promised better treatment and more respect for their customs, they were offered protection and rights, as they deposed weapons and promised to abide State laws, withdrawing the declaration of independence he had made.

Landero was the son of Luis Perez and Isabel, a classic couple of the time and gave their son the best for his future, house training and education that led him to relevant public office.

He has gone from Deputy Director of the Electoral Tribunal, Regional Director of the Commerce and Industry, Provincial Director of the Sports Institute, Deputy Director of the Superintendence of Chiriqui Railroad and director of the General Services of the Ministry of Public Works of Chiriqui.
