Lozano graduated elementary and high school at
Dingras Elementary and High School, respectively. He earned his Law and Bachelor of Arts degrees at the
University of the Philippines. As a practicing lawyer for 40 years, he was legal counsel for Philippine Consumers’ Foundation, Unification Movement, World Unification Church, Apostolic Catholic Church, Jesus is Lord Crusaders, The Lord Jesus Christ, The Great Commission World Ministry Inc., Active Civilian Force, Inc., Economic Recovery Action Program, Inc., Motherland International Foundation, Inc., National Organization of Women Agenda, Poverty, Inc., Muslim League of Welfare Development, Inc., Trade Union of the Philippines, Action Bayan, Inc. and Quezon City Federation of Women Civic Organizations.
1986 coup attempt In early July 1986, Lozano served as spokesman for rebel soldiers led by
Arturo Tolentino in attempting a
coup against the administration of President
Corazon Aquino by occupying the
Manila Hotel. The coup attempt occurred five months after President
Ferdinand Marcos was overthrown by the
People Power Revolution, with Marcos influencing the soldier's actions.
Criminal case Criminal
lawsuits Nos. 86-49007 and 86-49008 were filed against Lozano, Benjamin Nuega and Annie Ferrer as accomplices to the July 27, 1986
murder of Stephen Salcedo, a known "Coryista." On December 16, 1988, the trial court acquitted Lozano for failure of the prosecution to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Philippine general election, 2004 and 2007 Lozano was the first senatorial candidate to file his certificate of candidacy, under the
Kilusang Bagong Lipunan, the ruling party during the Marcos regime. Lozano was later joined by radio announcer and KBL candidate
Melchor Chavez. Both Lozano and Chavez lost in previous senatorial derbies. In the
2004 Philippine general election and
2007 Philippine general election, (Independent) Lozano landed on the 36th and 32nd place, with measly 238,272 and 305,637
votes, respectively.
Impeachment complaints Lozano filed an
impeachment complaint against President
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in June 2005 in connection with the President's supposedly wiretapped conversations with former
COMELEC commissioner
Virgilio Garcillano. He also filed the 2006, September 2007, February and August 2008 impeachment complaints. The 2005 Lozano impeachment was defeated principally due to technical deficiency rather than on merit. All the other complaints were dismissed for insufficiency in substance. On October 13, 2008, Lozano, together with his daughter Evangeline Lozano and
Elly Pamatong, attempted but failed to file their 4-pages mailed
impeachment complaint against President
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, due to tardiness, since the opposition and civil society groups led by Jose de Venecia III, filed ahead of their own 97-page complaint. The House secretariat accepted the Lozano complaint at 10:02 a.m., while the duly verified and endorsed De Venecia complaints, inter alia were received at 7:40 a.m.
Dispute over the KBL There has been confusion recently in the
2007 election campaign within the party. This confusion stems from the recent endorsement (allegedly by the KBL) by Lozano of dubious senatorial candidate
Joselito Pepito "Peter" Cayetano, who has the namesake of Rep.
Alan Peter Cayetano, an opposition stalwart. Rep. Cayetano said that Gov.
Bongbong Marcos, who is the president of the KBL, has certified that Joselito Cayetano has no party affiliation whatsoever with the KBL and that no endorsement was called for his namesake's candidacy. More recently, Marcos has denounced Lozano along with his candidates for turning the KBL into an "embarrassment". Marcos said that the party leadership will deal with the "renegade members" of the KBL after the elections. However, Lozano has repeatedly contended on television and radio that Marcos is an "honorary" president, and the real power within the party lies with
Vicente Millora, who is the duly noted party chairman. On his impeachment complaint when asked the reaction of Senator Francis Escudero “He [Escudero] was silent. He did not give me the go signal to file it but implied the fact that he did not also stop me.” On the reaction of Opposition congressmen to his impeachment complaint “I feel insulted. But in fighting for my principle, I should never involve my personal emotion so I contained my pride, held my anger and gracefully exited. Very impliedly, they [opposition] don't want to talk to me.” -->
Later years In March 2017, he criticized the impeachment complaint filed by
Magdalo Party-List representative
Gary Alejano against president
Rodrigo Duterte, denouncing its "gross unfairness and baseless accusations". ==Death==
