Remembering Juan Ponce Enrile (1924–2025) | 100 Years of JPE and the Philippines (Part 1)
Juan Ponce Enrile, one of the most powerful, influential, and controversial figures in modern Philippine history, has died at 101.
In this rerun of our special series on JPE, we look back on the extraordinary life of a man whose story spanned dictatorship, revolution, and democracy — and who served across administrations from Ferdinand Marcos Sr. to Benigno Aquino III.
This first episode traces Enrile’s beginnings: from his childhood in Cagayan and his reunion with his father, to his rise as a brilliant young lawyer and his entry into government under President Marcos Sr.
Originally released in 2024 to mark his 100th birthday, this series draws from news archives, public records, and Juan Ponce Enrile: A Memoir. Interview segments courtesy of Probe Archives.
This rerun was produced and engineered by Anthony Tobias. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.
