HIS LIFE – but for his stint of over three years as president of the Clark Development Corp. – has been the academe.
From a lowly “institute” with aircraft maintenance tech as premier course, he raised Angeles University Foundation to its pre-eminent status as premier institution of learning in Central Luzon. Yes, the current Numero Uno among nursing schools in the whole Philippines.
Little wonder then why President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo herself handpicked Doctor Attorney Emmanuel Y. Angeles, PhD, for the chairmanship of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). If only to replicate to the whole country the transformation he caused at AUF.
How dare now for some anonymous “Concerned Citizen” to maculate Doctor Attorney Angeles, PhD’s flawless integrity with a graft case at the Ombudsman!
And how dare for abs-cbnNEWS.com to dignify such wild allegation with a news story readily picked up by The Dili Insider and circulated in the web.

Filipino Graft over Timorese Students – $22,000USD per person…!
22,000USD per Timorese student. Multiplied by 36 = $792,000USD
Multiply by the total of 109 as mentioned below – $2,398,000USD. Yes that is 2.38 million.
One has to wonder which Timorese officials have Mr. Emmanuel Angeles’ mobile phone numbers in their phones.
Surely a case for Tempo Semanal?
CHED chief faces graft raps over foreign student program
Abs-cbnNews.com/08/20/2009 9:39PM
MANILA – A concerned citizen has filed graft charges against the chairman of the Commission on Higher Education for illegally benefiting from a foreign student enrolment program between the Philippine government and the Democratic Republic of East Timor.
According to the complaint filed before the Office of the Ombudsman, CHED Chairman Emmanuel Angeles is guilty of violating of the Anti-Graft and Practices Act when he allowed 36 students to enroll in the Angeles University Foundation in Angeles City, which is owned by his family.
The Philippine and East Timor governments earlier signed an agreement to allow Timor-Leste scholar students to take up college courses in qualified colleges and universities in the Philippines. The Timor-Leste government would pay $22,000 per scholar, which covers the student’s tuition and board and lodging for four years.
Last June, 109 East-Timorese students enrolled in various Philippine universities including Adamson University, Mapua Institute of Technology, and Centro Escolar University.
With 36 East-Timorese scholars, the Angeles University Foundation cornered the most number of scholars from East Timor and will earn more than P37 million from the foreign nation.
SO WHAT’S the issue?
Thirty-six, out of the 109 East-Timorese students enrolling at the Angeles University Foundation is no crime. Possibly, they have heard of the high standard of education at AUF, specially in the fields of medicine and nursing. So why now raise the hock against Doctor Attorney Angeles, PhD for this?
Why, Doctor Attorney Angeles, PhD, should even be commended by the Philippine government for raising the quality of education, and by the East Timor government for opening AUF to its students that they may avail themselves of such a high standard presently unavailable in the capital Dili or elsewhere in that half-island nation!
So what if in the process, AUF will earn P37 million! Money has never been a matter to Doctor Attorney Angeles, PhD. Witness how he run AUF and the CDC.
Really, what need has he of money when his very nickname already has the tingling, jingling, precious sound of it.
