Eduardo "Tatang" Lopez Joson Sr.[1] (August 5, 1919 – August 9, 1990) was a captain of Filipino guerrillas during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II. He later became the mayor of Quezon, Nueva Ecija and eventually the governor of Nueva Ecija in a span of 31 years until his death in 1990,[2] making him the second longest serving politician serving one government position in the country.
During his governorship, he founded a local political party, Bagong Lakas ng Nueva Ecija.[1]
