[3] His uncle José Inácio de Loyola was a lawyer, owner of A Índia Portuguesa (itself the paper of the Partido Indiano), and a fierce critic of Portuguese colonialism in India.
At the time of de Loyola's birth both his father and uncle were in exile in British India, not returning to Portuguese Goa until September 1891.
[5] De Loyola edited and founded various newspapers, among them the Jornal da India, though these tended to be suppressed by the government.
[6] When the Jornal da India, for example, was suspended in 1913 by then Governor-General of Portuguese India, Francisco Manuel Couceiro da Costa, Loyola published an open letter to the Governor-General criticising the inhibition of his freedom of speech entitled Cara Politíca and proceeded to found the new Rebate.
While inspector of village communities, in 1927, he undertook agricultural experiments in Carambolim, and wrote extensively on the possibilities for Goa's economic development.
