PNP, AFP mourn death of former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile at 101

The Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) are mourning the death of former Senate President and Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile at 101.

The PNP and AFP recognized Enrile's significant role in enhancing national security and police capability throughout his decades of public service.

Enrile was instrumental in professionalizing the police force when it was still part of the AFP, serving as Minister of Defense during that period.

He also held positions as Secretary of Justice, Secretary/Minister of National Defense, and later became Senate President.

Both organizations honored his service and acknowledged the enduring debates surrounding his legacy as part of national history.

The PNP will fly the Philippine flag at half-mast at Camp Crame on Monday to honor his contributions.

The PNP has offered to assist Enrile's family should they wish to hold a necrological service at Camp Crame.
