Diario de Manila was a Spanish language newspaper published in the Philippines, founded on October 11, 1848, and closed down by official decree on February 19, 1898, after the colonial authorities discovered that its installations were being used to print revolutionary material.
The Diario was edited by Felipe del Pan and published by the Ramirez y Compañia, whose headquarters were based in Intramuros, Manila, and its business and editorial offices in Binondo.
The first daily of Manila, La Esperanza had been founded on December 1, 1846. Diario de Manila raised as a competitor just a couple of years later, during a time when a great number of native newspapers written in Spanish came into existence in the Philippines,
Isabelo de los Reyes, a prominent Filipino politician, writer and labor activist in the 19th and 20th centuries, who was the founder of the Aglipayan Church, worked as a journalist and wrote several articles for the newspaper, such as the “Invasión de Limahong”, which appeared in the Diario de Manila in November 1882. He eventually became the associate editor of the Diario.
Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau, a Spanish diplomat and writer, author of plays,operas and novels, wrote for the Diario de Manila while serving as consul in Hong Kong.
Baltasar Giraudier, a famous Filipino artist and writer who published his work in both the Diario de Manila and in the Ilustración Filipina, accompanied Governor General Malcampo to Jolo during an organized military expedition that took place in February 1876 against the Muslim pirates who had been receiving a substantial amount of arms and ammunition during the previous years. Governor Malcampo commissioned Giraudier to illustrate the landscape of the island together with its people, customs and architecture. The resulting drawings are considered to be among the best lithographic illustrations of the Islands.
An article published in Diario de Manila by the Jesuit Father Jaime Nonell, which described observations of the typhoon of September 1865 done by Father Francisco Colina, prompted the establishment of the Observatorio Meteorológico del Ateneo Municipal de Manila.
