López family of Iloilo

The López family of Iloílo are a wealthy and influential Filipino family of business owners, politicians, and philanthropists descended from Basílio López (c.1800-c.1875), a Chinese mestizo who adopted the surname of his Spanish master upon death (López). He married Sabina Jalandoni and the couple had sixteen children:[1] Eulalia, Clara, Eulogia, Eugenio (1839-1906, "Kapitan Eugenio") , Gregoria, Estanislao, Marcelo, Claudio, Simon, Agripino, Francisco, Cipriana, Agripino, Eusebio, Ysidora, and Maria.

The most prominent family members were the brothers Eugenio "Eñing" H. López, Sr. (1901–1975) and Fernando "Nanding" H. López, Sr. (1904–1993), great-grandsons of Basílio López and grandsons of Kapitan Eugenio J. López. The brothers' business interests are now known as the Lopez Group of Companies. It includes the media conglomerate ABS-CBN Corporation and First Philippine Holdings Corporation.[2] Fernando served as Vice President of the Philippines under Presidents Elpidio Quirino and Ferdinand Marcos.
