Manuel Bonilla had a bust of himself set up in the central park of San Pedro Sula, which was pulled from its pedestal in 1919 under Francisco Bertrand . In 1936, on the occasion of an industrial exhibition for the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city, the bust of Manuel Bonilla was lifted back onto its base and a bust of Luis Alonso Baraona, the founder of the park, was added, which disappeared in 1970 after the football war.
