I tried looking this word up, but I got directed to "marang" 😂. I tried "maranghan" and "marangha" but to no avail. I also tried "dangha" and "danghan" in case it's like "dumi" that turns into "marumi" but still no luck.

Here's the context:
"Bukod sa mga pagtatangkang isiwalat ang maranghang ontolohiya ng Meron gamit ang matulaing istilo ng pamimilosopiya ni Ferriols (na wala naman sigurong masama), ano pang mga pilosopikal na pagsisiyasat ang maaari nating buksan mula sa mga ito?"

Bonus one: sángkameronan

Hindi ibig sabihin na masama ang paggalugad sa Pilosopiyang Pilipino. Para kay Ferriols, nakapaloob ang proyektong ito sa “tanong sa Meron.” Isang nibel lamang ng sangkameronan ang paghahanap sa Pilosopiyang Pilipino. Kung itatanong “meron bang Pilosopiyang Pilipino?” Ewan! Baka! Nakabitin ang sagot. Itinuturo muna ni Ferriols ang uring pagiisip na bukas sa nagpapakita. Kung saan tayo dadalhin noon ay hindi pa rin niya alam.

There are these:
• sángkatauhan: [noun] humankind • humanity
• sángkalibutan: [noun] universe
• sángkatutak: [idiom] lots of
• sángkaterba: [idiom] lots of

From how it's being used, I'm thinking it's a play on "the state of having"? Like, meronness or meron-ness or meronity?

1.) Maybe an alternate spelling (or typo) of marangyang?

2.) There is an affix sangka- -an, which is something like "all of the -root-"... sangkalibutan = all of surroundings/around = universe; sangkatauhan = all of the people = humankind

Yeah, it's probably a typo of marangyáng. It kind of makes sense: luxurious ontology. Ontology has a lot of give or something.

1. I tried thinking of other possible words if there was a typo but yeah, I could only think of "marangyang" and it does make sense.
2. From the passages, I got the feeling that it was talking about "being" (a typical topic in philosophy; not "creature") and it turns out "meron" is a loose translation of "being" in Filipino philosophy. So "sangkameronan" here means "beingness/all of being" or something like that.

Maranghang is not a typo and is a word.

Marangha + ng(na)

Marangha

Maranghang pangako

Some words very region to region

Marangya = Marangha.
