Pacífico Chiriboga

After the defeat of the Spanish forces, his father was exiled but died in the boat before they landed in Jamaica.

The family land that had been confiscated during the revolution was restored and Pacífico Chiriboga was involved early in the publication of the El Quiteño Libre, a political periodical of great importance at the birth of the Ecuadorian nation.

When President Juan José Flores left office in 1835, Pacífico was elected to the Quito city council.

Pacífico was also vice-president from 1858 to 1860, and later was part of the triumvirate in power with Gabriel García Moreno and Jerónimo Carrión, both early presidents.

At one point, he sent 4,000 heads of cattle to feed the troops of Dr. Garcia Moreno, during the wars between the Liberals and Conservatives.
