Enrile still in ICU, says daughter
Chief presidential legal counsel Juan Ponce Enrile is in the intensive care unit (ICU) for pneumonia, according to his daughter Katrina Ponce Enrile.
She stated that he is receiving the best possible treatment and attention from his medical staff.
This comes after Sen. Jinggoy Estrada announced on the Senate floor that Enrile has slim chances of surviving.
Estrada had revealed the 101-year-old former Senate President's condition to the Senate, prompting a prayer led by Sen. Joel Villanueva.
Enrile, who has served as chief legal counsel since 2022, also previously served under the late President Ferdinand E. Marcos.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. described Enrile as a statesman, legal luminary, and exemplary public servant.
