During the depression years of the Sugar industry in the 1920s, a Spanish company named Tabacalera foreclosed haciendas which could not pay their credits. One of them was the Hacienda of Don Diego de la Viña clan. According to Zaffy Ledesma, a historian in the Lopez clan, the foreclosed property was sold to Don Vicente Lopez Sr. around 1924. Don Vicente belonged to the Lopez clan of Jaro. His hacienda was subsequently divided into two farms: Hacienda Dona Elena named after his wife and was inherited by his son, Vicente Lopez Jr. Hacienda Lilia, named after Tiking ( Vicente Jr.) sister, was inherited by Lilia Lopez Jison. Rosario Lopez, niece of Vicente Lopez Jr., married Arthur Cooper and became a landowner in Pinocauan, Vallehermoso.
