Base on the scenario been described in the question, yes of cause, Manuel was the holder and Patricia agreed that she signed the note. For this reason, Manuel has the right to recover the note unless Patricia established another defense. Since no defense was given, it was not useful whether Manuel was a holder in due course, against whom certain defenses could not be given.
