From Zero to Bora: How the Angara 5 Turned Flood Money into Frat-Party Yachts
A Step-by-Step Guide to Drowning the Nation While Buying Beachfront Property

By Louis ‘Barok‘ C. Biraogo — November 29, 2025

BROTHERS and sisters in perpetual taxation and periodic flooding, welcome back to the cave.

Tonight we turn the spotlight on the Angara 5 — five creatures who allegedly turned the national budget into their personal ATM. This isn’t politics. This is grand larceny wearing a barong.

1. The Cabal – A Sigma Rho Fraternity Reunion with Government Salaries

The cast, in order of appearance on the wanted poster:

  • Trygve Olaivar – former Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary, proud Sigma Rhoan, alleged 12 % kickback collector “for” Secretary Sonny Angara. Resigned faster than you can say “subpoena.”
  • Amenah Pangandaman – former Secretary of the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), the one whose signature allegedly turned blanks into billions. Suddenly resigned “for health reasons.” Sure, Jan.
  • Ronald Ang – ex-Ako Bicol party-list representative, now Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) director, former consultant to the late Sen. Edgardo Angara, and board member of the same hotel empires that keep winning “infrastructure” contracts.
  • Wilford Wong – DBM Undersecretary, described in whistleblower circles as Pangandaman’s personal bagman.
  • Faye Condez-De Sagon – Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Undersecretary and, per insiders, the “de facto secretary.” Wedding guest list read like a graft org chart.

This isn’t a network. This is a family reunion with government salaries and a private-island retirement plan.

Ctrl+Z the Budget, Ctrl+Sea the Nation.

2. The “Blank-to-Billions” Magic Trick Explained So Even a Kindergartener Gets Mad

  1. Congress ratifies a bicameral report with tidy little zero allocations.
  2. After the President signs the General Appropriations Act (GAA) and the cameras go home, someone re-opens the file and turns those zeros into tens of billions.
  3. The money vanishes into flood-control projects that are ghost, overpriced, or so shoddily built the next typhoon uses them as a slip-n-slide.

That, dear taxpayer, is how you write yourself a blank check after the bank vault is locked and the guards are asleep.

3. Prosecutor Barok’s Indictment: The Laws They Allegedly Used as Toilet Paper

  • Article 170, Revised Penal Code – Falsification of legislative documents Changing a ratified zero into billions without new plenary authority isn’t “ministerial.” It’s felony-level forgery. I want the hand that held the pen in handcuffs.
  • Republic Act No. 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act) Section 3(e): manifest partiality, undue injury. Sending billions to your frat brothers while kids float to school on styrofoam?
  • Republic Act No. 7080 (Anti-Plunder Law, as amended) Threshold: ₱50 million. Alleged insertion: ₱100 billion. Even if only 10 % stuck, we’re still at plunder on steroids.
  • Republic Act No. 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards) + Republic Act No. 9160 (Anti-Money Laundering Act, as amended) Because 12 % kickbacks wired to a resort-owning crony are apparently “ethical” now.

We already did this dance with the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) scam. Whistleblowers + bank records = convictions. “Clerical error” excuses = another decade of drowning.

4. Their Upcoming Greatest-Hits Defense Album (Spoiler: We Own the Vinyl Already)

  • “Legislative prerogative!” → Since when does prerogative come with a 12 % commission?
  • “Purely clerical!” → Yes, the same overworked clerks who accidentally allocate ₱100 billion deserve a raise and a yacht.
  • “Political demolition job! Don’t drag the dead into this!” → Secretary Angara’s Oscar-worthy tears while the living count cash.

Save the violin for someone who didn’t allegedly drown the country.

5. Two Possible 2028 Headlines – One Country Picks the Ending

Headline A (Accountability)

“Angara 5 Convicted: Former Officials Jailed, Budget Transparency Law Passed, Flood Walls Finally Built”

Headline B (Impunity)

“Cases Dismissed on Technicality, Ex-Officials Launch New Resort Chain, Metro Manila Underwater Again”

This is not fate. This is a choice.

Immediate Orders (Not Requests)

  1. Commission on Audit (COA) and Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) forensic audit of every inserted peso and every implicated account — starting yesterday.
  2. Full public release within 72 hours of every draft of the bicameral report and GAA showing exactly where the zeros became billions.
  3. Preventive suspension of every official still on the payroll who has been named.
  4. Office of the Ombudsman: file the charges — falsification, graft, plunder — before the next typhoon washes away evidence and hope.

To the whistleblowers: salamat and stay alive.
To the Filipino people: stop praying. Start screaming.

Because if we let this one slide, the next flood won’t just take our homes.
It will take the last shred of belief that this country can still be saved.
