Angelo Reyes
Filipino general (1945-2011)
Angelo Tomas Reyes (March 17, 1945 – February 8, 2011) also known as General Reyes, was a Filipino retired general and politician who served as the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff from 2000 to 2001 under President Joseph Estrada. At the height of the 2001 EDSA Revolution, Reyes withdrew his support for Estrada, which led to the installation of Vice President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as president, under whom he then served as Cabinet Secretary until 2010. He also served under Arroyo as Secretary of the Departments of the Interior and Local Government, Environment and Natural Resources, Energy, and National Defense.
Reyes ran for a seat in Congress under the United Transport Coalition (1-UTAK), a party representing workers in the public transportation sector, in the 2010 party-list election but was dropped by the party without his consent. It led to an investigation which had been ongoing at the time of his death. A week after being accused of corruption during his tenure as AFP chief of staff, Reyes died due to a gunshot wound in an apparent suicide, according to Scene of the Crime Operatives.
Reyes was married to Teresita Pernia-Reyes with whom he has five sons, Pablo, Angelito (a former representative from Taguig), Marc, Carlo and Judd.
Education

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Angelo Reyes” as filipino general (1945-2011). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as filipino general (1945-2011). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q530701. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1945, 2011, 2000 and 2001.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
