Hilario Chanuangco Sunico y Santos (1848-1918) was a notable figure in the Philippines during the 19th century, known for his significant contributions as a businessman, philanthropist, and bell-caster, primarily in the San Nicolas, Binondo district of Manila[1]. His diverse achievements left an indelible mark on the cultural heritage and development of the Philippines during his era.
Born in 1848 to a mixed heritage, with Chinese ancestry through his father, Chan Uan Co, and a Spanish mestiza lineage from his mother, Trinidad Santos of Gagalangin, Tondo, Sunico's life was characterized by noteworthy accomplishments. His legacy is most notably associated with his expertise in bell casting. Historical records attribute the creation of approximately 176 church bells to him and the Sunico foundry[2], which he meticulously crafted. These bells adorn various old Spanish churches and hold historical significance. Particularly noteworthy are the principal bells of the Binondo Church, featuring a set of nine chimes, and the principal bell of the Malate church. The Sunico foundry, initially a modest establishment founded by his father in 1865, evolved into a fully equipped foundry during the 1880s, producing large church bells that continue to resonate in heritage sites across the country.
Hilario Sunico's contributions extended beyond bell casting. He played an integral role in producing intricate grill works for old Spanish churches and participated in significant civil engineering projects. His involvement encompassed the construction of the old Puente Colgante in Quiapo and the Tutuban Railway Station in Tondo. These endeavors underscored Sunico's multifaceted engagement in Manila's development, particularly in the Binondo area, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His enduring legacy persists through the bells and architectural structures that serve as testaments to his exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to his craft and community.[3]
Hilario Sunico died on May 22, 1918, after a prolonged illness.
