    Early life and career[edit]


    Lopez was born on April 13, 1904 in Iloilo City, Iloilo to Benito Villanueva Lopez and Presentacion
    Javelona Hofileña. He was the younger brother and only sibling of Eugenio López, Sr. The Lopez
    family was the richest family and most influential in the province.
    Lopez studied high school at Colegio de San Juan de Letran, finishing in 1921. He then studied law
    in the University of Santo Tomas, earning his Bachelor of Laws degree in 1925. After passing the
    bar examinations, he did not go into private practice, but helped his older brother manage the family
    business.
    In 1945, with no prior political experience, Lopez was chosen by President Sergio Osmeña to be
    mayor of Iloilo City. In 1947, he ran for senator and won the election.
    Lopez was one of the founders of University of Iloilo and the FEATI University in Manila.
    The brothers Eugenio and Fernando owned the Iloilo-Negros Air Express Company (the first Filipino
    owned air service), the Iloilo Times (El Tiempo), the Manila Chronicle and ABS-CBN Broadcasting
    Corporation, LSC (Lopez Sugar Corporation), Bayantel (including Bayan DSL), SkyCable(including

    Vice-Presidency[edit]

    First Term[edit]
    In 1949, he became vice-president under President Elpidio Quirino and concurrently worked as
    secretary of agriculture, serving until 1953. He was then elected once again as senator, and re-
    elected in 1959.
    Second and Third Term[edit]
    In 1965, he ran with Ferdinand Marcos and won as vice-president. He was re-elected in 1969. By
    the time martial law was declared in 1972, the Lopez family fell out of Marcos' favor and was
    targeted by the dictatorship because of their denunciations of Marcos' alleged corruption. They were
    also targeted due to their family's political influence, being members of the entrenched oligarchy.
    The position of vice-president was dissolved, and the Lopez family was stripped of most of its
    political and economic assets.

    Later life and death[edit]


    After the removal of Marcos from power in the People Power Revolution of 1986, he became
    chairman of FHL Investment Corporation and vice-chairman of First Philippine Holdings Corporation.
    He died on May 26, 1993 leaving his wife Mariquit Javellana with whom he had six children:
    Yolanda, Fernando, Jr. (Junjie), Alberto (Albertito), Emmanuele, Benito and Mita.
