López family of Iloilo

The López family of Iloílo is a wealthy and influential Filipino-Chinese family of business magnates, media proprietors, politicians, and philanthropists. The family originated from Jaro, Iloilo, and rose to prominence during the late Spanish colonial and early American periods through their involvement in the sugar milling industry and local politics. Their lineage traces back to Basílio López (c. 1810–c. 1875), a Sangley merchant or taipan who adopted the surname "López" from his Spanish master. He later married Sabina Jalandoni (1816–1882), a member of another prominent Iloilo family, and together they had sixteen children.

The most prominent members of the family were brothers Eugenio "Eñíng" H. López, Sr. (1901–1975) and Fernando "Nandíng" H. López (1904–1993), great-grandsons of Basilio López and grandsons of Eugenio "Kapitán" J. López (1839–1906). Their business interests later became the López Group of Companies, which includes ABS-CBN Corporation and its namesake media and content distribution company, and the power generation and distribution company First Philippine Holdings Corporation. Fernando López also served twice as Vice President of the Philippines, under Presidents Elpidio Quirino and Ferdinand Marcos.
