The
López family of Iloilo are a wealthy and influential dynasty of business owners, politicians, and philanthropists in the
Philippines. They trace their origins to Basilio López, a trader of Chinese (
Mestizo de sangley) origin who adopted the López surname and became district mayor of
Jaro, Iloilo City, in 1849 . Basilio married Sabina Jalandoni and they had sixteen children. Later generations inter-married with other
Spanish Filipino families.
