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.
