Legacy
He later become a member of Military Health Corps and he was appointed to Philippines, where he was about to die and he had to be repatriated as a Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1900, he quit medicine to concentrate in literature.

In 1981, the City Council of Villanueva de la Serena created the Felipe Trigo Awards in his honor to recognize the year's best novel and short narrative.
