A hearty congratulations to Hispanista/Filipinista Senator Edgardo Angara for being inducted to the Hispano-American Royal Academy of Science, Arts and Letters! He is the only Asian and non-Spanish speaker in the ranks of the exclusive academy.
Senator Angara is the only lawmaker today who is carrying on the fight to preserve the Filipino Identity through the promotion of our Hispanic ties. And right now, he is clamoring for the return of the Spanish language into K+12 program. He is reminiscent of past great senators such as Claro M. Recto, Enrique Magalona, Cipriano Primicias, and Vicente Sotto, among many others. The truth is that Senator Angara is struggling for an unpopular cause, especially since history has bedeviled our Spanish past. But he does not care about this. He is after nothing but the historical truth.
¡Viva Señor Angara, el héroe moderno del cosmos filipino!
It started in Baler: Angara’s ‘highest honor’ as 1st Asian, non-Spanish speaker royal academy member
The century-old Real Academia Hispano Americana de Ciencias, Artes Y Letras in Cádiz, one of Europe’s oldest cities and the Iberian Peninsula’s center of culture and the arts, last month inducted Sen. Edgardo Angara into its elite roster of intellectuals, recognizing the lawmaker for furthering Philippine-Spanish relations within and outside the government.

I join you, Pepe Alas, in congratulating Senator Edgardo Angara for his proposed bill to include the Spanish language as a regular subject in the general curricula of the Filipino school system. I hope that bill is filed soonest and enacted into law. It will open new horizons for the new generations of Filipinos. ¡Mabuhay!
