BBM honors Enrile
The Philippine Star
|November 22, 2025
President Marcos honored his former chief legal counsel and “mentor” Juan Ponce Enrile during necrological rites at Malacanang yesterday.
-
In his eulogy for his “Tito Johnny,” Marcos recalled the close relationship between their families.
“What I do know is that since we came to live in this Palace, he was a constant fixture in my life. He was always here. He was always there,” Marcos said.
“And we didn’t — it was such a close relationship between our families that it wasnt just work in the offices here,” he added.
Enrile died on Nov. 13 at the age of 101. His daughter Katrina said her father would be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig today.
The President described Enrile as “my dad's guy.”
