José Angara

GEDCOM Note

Died of TB at 39 in office as a Congressman for the First District of Tayabas. As the (favourite) nephew of President Manuel Quezon, the flag was flown at half-mast at the Quezon Institute (the TB hospital).

Dr. Andreas "Andy" Aragon Angara remembers him as a forceful speaker worth travelling many a mile to see and a ladies man.

Located in Manila North Cemetery, Santa Cruz, Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines. From the main entrance proceed along Main Avenue until the first road turning just before the rotunda. Turn left on 1st Street. About 150 metres. Proceed passed the first bend, along a straight stretch just before a second bend. You'll see two roads, one 9th Street, joining on the right. Exactly at this point take the path going between the family lots to the left. Turn right when you can't go any further and look for the lot on the right side. There are currently four people buried there: Jose, his two children and wife husband.
