The name Manolo in Hebrew letters is מנולו. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
מנולו
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is מנולו. The name comes from Hebrew: עמנו אל, “God is with us” (Isaiah 7:14). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 132 — the same as the Torah word בלק, “Balak, king of Moab”. That number points to Torah page 132 of 354 — in the portion Mishpatim. What that portion is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 7:2. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Manolo” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: מנולו. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name מנולו gives 132.
132
The number 132 is the Torah word בלק — «Balak, king of Moab» (Numbers 22:2).
And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he dashed against the altar.
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 132. A Torah word with the same number is בלק — “Balak, king of Moab” (Numbers 22:2).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 24. A Torah word with the same number is חוי — “Hivite” (Genesis 10:17).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 51. A Torah word with the same number is אכל — “to eat” (Genesis 2:16).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 487. A Torah word with the same number is זפת — “pitch” (Exodus 2:3).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 5072.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 484. A Torah word with the same number is עתיד — “ready; things to come” (Deuteronomy 32:35).
The letters that come out are יטפכפ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 199. A Torah word with the same number is צדקה — “righteousness” (Genesis 15:6).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 284. A Torah word with the same number is רדף — “to pursue” (Genesis 14:14).
The number 132 appears in the classical books 3 times across 2 works. The earliest mention is פרי עץ חיים שער ר"ח חנוכה ופורים (~1573).

The number of the day, every morning
Every date has a number too. Once a year it will match the number of your name — 132. The channel posts one number a day, one verse and the Torah page it lands on. Nothing after it, no mailing list.
Hebrew is written from right to left. מנולו has 5 letters: מ Mem, נ Nun, ו Vav, ל Lamed, ו Vav. The first letter is Mem, the last is Vav.

The name מנולו does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For מנולו these are מ and ו. The Pentateuch has 5 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 7:2:
מכל הבהמה הטהורה תקח לך שבעה שבעה איש ואשתו ומן הבהמה אשר לא טהרה הוא שנים איש ואשתו
This is from the portion Noach. What it is about: The flood and the ark; the rainbow as a sign of the covenant; the tower of Babel; ten generations from Noah to Abraham.
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
