He was born to José Antonio Eugenio de Loyzaga y Ageo, a wealthy criollo businessman and sixth-generation member of landed Old Manila gentry, and María de la Luz Martínez Vial, a middle-class criolla. He was married to María del Carmen Matute y Sequera, who herself was a well-to-do ninth-generation criolla. He is the father of Carlos Loyzaga who was a very well-known as a basketball player.[4] The younger Loyzaga was initially involved in football.[1]
