MANILA, Philippines – Founder, chairman, and CEO of Villaraza & Angangco’s (V&A), Arthur “Pancho” L. Villaraza, died on Saturday, September 14, his law firm announced.

“His passing marks a profound loss not only for Villaraza & Angangco but also for its clients and friends. For over four decades, Pancho was a beacon of excellence, leadership, and integrity, shaping our firm into the renowned institution it is today,” V&A said in a statement.

Villaraza, known for his courtroom brilliance and tenacity, was able to secure landmark victories against monopolies, namely the PLDT break-up during the Ramos administration. He also contributed to the historic downfall of a president — Joseph Estrada — and two former chief justices — Renato Corona and Maria Lourdes Sereno.

“He was a true professional who always placed his clients’ interests first. His sound and effective legal strategies gave clients assurance, and his unwavering commitment to their success built a reputation for excellence that will long endure. His passion for nurturing talent was unmatched, and his guidance has had a profound impact on countless lives,” his law firm said in a statement.

With Villaraza’s passing, V&A announced the appointment of Raoul R. Angangco as its new chairman and CEO.

“The Partners of the Firm remain steadfast in their commitment to carrying out the legacy and vision that Pancho worked so tirelessly to build. We are confident that under the leadership of Atty. Angangco, the Firm will continue to thrive, uphold the same high standards of legal excellence that have defined us for nearly 45 years, and fulfill its leadership role in the legal profession and Philippine society,” it said.

San Beda University Alumni Association also mourned the passing of Villaraza. “A Salute to a Great Bedan,” it said on X.
