== Biography == Porfirio Lobo was born in Trujillo, Honduras, on December 22, 1947. “Pepe”, as he is commonly known, was the last child of the marriage formed by Mr. José Porfirio Lobo López and Mrs. Rosa Sosa Hernández. Porfirio Lobo's father was a nationalist political leader in the Department of Olancho where he was from. Little “Pepe” grew up on the farm that the family ran in La Empalizada, near Juticalpa, along with his three brothers.He learned his first letters at the Niño Jesús de Praga primary school in Juticalpa from the department of Olancho. He completed his secondary studies at the San Francisco Institute, located in the capital of the country, exactly in the city of Comayagüela, during the years from 1961 to 1965. Upon finishing high school, he moved to the city of Miami, United States of America, to study business administration at the University of Miami , where he graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Business Administration. The official resume of "Pepe" Lobo omits any reference to a dark passage in his formative stage that some political opponents have blamed him for and that he has not denied: that for a time he lived in Moscow, as a student of some science courses Politics taught by the Patrice Lumumba University, currently the Russian People's Friendship University, which welcomed thousands of students from Asia, Africa and Latin America into its classrooms. After finishing his university studies, he returned to the country and since then, for more than 38 years, he has dedicated himself to agriculture and livestock activities, first as his father's assistant and then independently. From a very young age he was involved in political activity with the National Party together with his father. At the age of 20, he was president of the Nationalist Youth of Olancho and from there he continued to hold various positions within the party until he became president of the Central Committee. For 11 years he dedicated himself to providing his knowledge, in the public institute La Fraternidad de Juticalpa, where he taught English and economics classes to young people. In addition, he became an active member of the Committee for the Defense of Human Rights (CODEH). Likewise, "Pepe" Lobo was one of the founders of the National Council of Producers for the Agricultural Policy of Honduras (CONPPAH) and the "Association of Ranchers and Farmers of Olancho (AGAO)". Since 1989, he was elected deputy to Parliament on three consecutive occasions for the National Party, of whose Central Committee he was president for the first time between 1999 and 2001, and then from 2005 to 2010. Likewise, “Pepe” Lobo was a member of the committee of Ricardo Maduro's candidacy campaign in 2001. He was also manager of the state-owned Honduran Forestry Development Corporation (COHDEFOR) between February 1990 and June 1992, in the government of President Rafael Leonardo Callejas (1990-1994).
