Sonny Angara Pushes Back: “Huwag N’yong Idamay ang Patay Para sa Politika.”

November 26, 20251 min read

MANILA, Philippines — Education Secretary Sonny Angara has broken his silence and slammed what he calls “baseless and unfounded” attempts to link his late father, former Senate President Edgardo Angara, to budget insertion kickback schemes — with anonymous sources branding it the so-called “Angara 5.”

Sonny Angara speaking at a press forum with a microphone in front of him, seated beside a coffee cup and water glass, addressing allegations involving his late father.

Pero nang buksan ang listahan, ang unang tanong ng tao:
“Ang dami n’yong siningit na pangalan… pero bakit walang malinaw na koneksyon?”

Out of all five names mentioned, only one — Trygve Olav “Ole” Olav — ever worked under Sonny Angara, and even that fact does not support any corruption scheme. The rest? From different agencies, different eras, different administrations.

Parang pilit pinagtagpi-tagpi ang mga piraso na hindi naman magkakadugtong.

Ang linya ng Angara camp?
“We can take demolition jobs, but don’t drag people who can’t defend themselves. My father is gone. You can’t malign someone who can’t answer anymore.”

This is where the picture becomes clearer.

At a time when the country is drowning in budget controversies, kickback testimonies, and political blame ping-pong, some are trying to rewrite history by reviving names of the deceased — as if the dead can magically play a role in 2025 scandals.

Kung may corruption, ilabas ang ebidensya.
Kung may kickback, ilabas ang dokumento.
Kung wala?
Then this is not accountability — this is necro-politics.

And as we always say at Politikanta Minute:
“When accusations stretch beyond logic, someone’s narrative is getting desperate.”
