Fernando Cuenca
(1824-1902)
The “promoter of progress in Negros,” introduced hydraulic power in the sugar industry.
He further applied hydrotherapeutic treatment in his convent-cum-hospital in Talisay (Negros Occidental) to ill-stricken poor and rich alike from Negros, Iloilo and Manila, and confreres including Saint Ezekiel Moreno (1848-1906) who suffered from anemia after having being stricken with malaria in Palawan.
