Dr. Angara graduated from Ateneo De Manila University and pursued the degree of Medicine in the State University. Impressed by the likes of Saturnino-Ador Dioniso and Constantino Manahan, the young Andy Angara heeded the call for a noble dream to form the Mu Sigma Phi. After earning his medical degree, he spent his young career at the Quezon Institute where he became an expert on tuberculosis. As World War II broke out, Dr. Angara was in the country, but was earlier assigned by the Bureau of Health as Health Officer of Tuguegarao, Cagayan—too far to be drawn into the atrocities of War. After the Liberation, Dr. Angara went on to become Baguio City’s Health Officer as he consequently discovered a thriving career in public health. After taking a post-graduate degree in the UP Institute of Public Health (where he met his wife, Dra. Amansia Mangay-Angara μΣΦ 1939, a Sis), he was tapped by the World Health Organization (WHO) and was appointed as Assistant Director for Health Services in the Western Pacific. Dr. Angara served the WHO for more than 20 years. He retired in 1975 and has been blessed by the Almighty with a tranquil retreat at Panay Avenue, Quezon City.
