November 11, 2025 — Reports circulating online about the passing of former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile have been confirmed false.
The 101-year-old political figure — often referred to as one of the country’s most enduring public servants — is alive, according to credible reports and family sources. Enrile continues to hold the position of Chief Presidential Legal Counsel under President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
Earlier today, several social media posts and unverified pages claimed that Enrile had passed away. However, these reports were not backed by any official announcement from his family or the Office of the President.
Enrile, who was born on February 14, 1924, in Gonzaga, Cagayan, has lived through nearly a century of political change — from the Martial Law years to the restoration of democracy and beyond. His political career includes serving as Defense Minister under Ferdinand Marcos, participating in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, and serving multiple terms as Senator and Senate President.
Despite controversies and criticisms over the decades, Enrile remains one of the most recognized and influential names in Philippine politics.
As of this report, no official statement has been released regarding his health, and all earlier posts claiming his death should be treated as fake news.
