Atty. Oliver "Oli" Ocol Lozano - (born May 13, 1940), was the legal counsel of the late Ferdinand Marcos. He was born in Ilocos Norte and currently married to Norma Junio, with daughter, Atty. Evangeline Lozano, and 3 other children.
Lozano, 66, 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 40 years practicing lawyer, 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.
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 Philippine general election, 2004 and Philippine general election, 2007, (Independent) Lozano landed on the 36th and 32nd place, with measly 238,272 and 305,637 votes, respectively.
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 Atty. Evangeline Lozano and Atty. 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 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.
