). [6] He served in that position until his resignation in February 2010 to run again for Congress. [9] [10] On June 30, 2010, he was sworn in as the representative of the 1st district of Camarines Sur during the 15th Congress. He ran again successfully in the succeeding House elections of 2013 and 2016, serving uninterrupted as a congressman until 2019, after which his wife took over until her untimely death in July 2020. [11]
In August 2016, during his time in the 17th Congress, he was appointed Deputy Speaker of the House for Bicol. [12] Following the ouster of Pantaleon Alvarez as House Speaker, Andaya was elected House Majority Leader to replace Alvarez's ally Rodolfo Fariñas on July 30, 2018. [13] [14] In January 2019, he stepped down as Majority Floor Leader to chair again the House Committee on Appropriations. [15] He served until the end of his term on June 30, 2019.
He ran for Governor of Camarines Sur in 2019 but lost to incumbent Miguel Luis Villafuerte. [16] In the run-up to the 2022 election, he filed his candidacy for his former House seat. However, he later withdrew and opted to run for governor again; his sister Maribel replaced him in the House race. [17] His gubernatorial campaign was endorsed by fellow Camarines Sur native Vice President Leni Robredo, who at that time was running for president. [18] He lost to Villafuerte's brother Luigi, a political neophyte. Maribel also lost in the House election. [19]
Party affiliations
Andaya and his father were members of Lakas–CMD, led by Presidents Fidel V. Ramos (in office 1992–1998) and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (in office 2001–2010). [6] [20] He endorsed the 2010 presidential bid of Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilbert Teodoro. [20]
In September 2015, he defected to the Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC) and supported the 2016 presidential campaign of Senator Grace Poe (an independent). [21] In May 2016, shortly after Rodrigo Duterte won the 2016 presidential election, Andaya joined Duterte's party, PDP–Laban, which led the majority coalition in the 17th Congress. [22] In 2019 and 2022, he ran for governor of Camarines Sur as a member of the NPC. [16] [17] In November 2021, he resigned as NPC's Camarines Sur provincial chair and also resigned from local party Anduyog. [17]
Controversies
Pork barrel scam
In May 2014, a banner story published by the Philippine Daily Inquirer implicated Andaya, among other officials of the Arroyo administration, in the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam. It alleged that during his time as budget secretary, he received at least ₱255 million as "commission" for various projects implemented by the Department of Agrarian Reform. [23] He later denied any involvement in saying that he had "not received any amount, whether in cash or in check, as commission from [Janet Lim-]Napoles, or from any of her staff or agents". [24]
Malampaya fund scam
In October 2013, plunder charges were filed at the Office of the Ombudsman by the National Bureau of Investigation against former-President Arroyo and other officials of her administration including Andaya in connection with the alleged misuse of the Malampaya gas fund. [25] In December 2017, the Ombudsman charged Andaya, along with convicted plunderer Janet Lim-Napoles and former Agrarian Reform Secretary Nasser Pangandaman, with 97 counts of graft and malversation before the Sandiganbayan for their alleged involvement in the Malampaya fund scam. Andaya's alleged role in the scam was his signing of the Special Allotment Release Order (SARO) which was "fraught with irregularities constituting badges of fraud". [26] In March 2019, the Sandiganbayan denied Andaya's appeal to dismiss the charges against him. [27] In July that year, he refused to enter plea during his arraignment which prompted the court to enter a not-guilty plea for him. [28] [29]
Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth
In October 2018, an administrative complaint was filed by the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission at the Office of the Ombudsman against Andaya and his wife for his alleged misdeclaration of properties in his 2016 and 2017 Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN). [30] He later dismissed the allegations and deemed it "part of an ongoing hatchet job" connected to his 2019 gubernatorial campaign. [31]
Personal life
Andaya was married to congresswoman Marissa Mercado until her death on July 5, 2020, from cancer. [11] They had two children. [32]
On July 1, 2022, Andaya was found dead in his residence in Naga, five days short of his wife's second death anniversary. The cause of his death was not disclosed by his family. [33] Naga City police stated that he bore a gunshot wound in his right temple, but had not determined if he died by suicide. [34] He was 53. [32]
Assassination attempts
On October 16, 2018, Andaya was at the Camarines Sur capitol complex in Pili to file his candidacy for the 2019 gubernatorial elections. Shortly after, a security guard approached Andaya and allegedly tried to pull out his revolver from its holster but inadvertently dropped it. The guard, Ray John Musa, was seized by Andaya's companions and was arrested. Andaya alluded that his political rivals were behind the attempt on his life. [35]
On June 1, 2021, Andaya was driving his Toyota Land Cruiser in Barangay Palestina, Pili when two men aboard a motorcycle fired at his vehicle before fleeing. Neither Andaya nor his companions were hurt during the incident. The police immediately initiated an investigation. [36] [37]
