CIBAC Party-List Rep. Bro. Eddie Villanueva extends his deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, who passed away after a fruitful lifetime of illustrious service to the Filipino nation.
“We mourn the passing of one of the most enduring figures in Philippine public service,” Rep. Villanueva said.
“For decades, Juan Ponce Enrile was a witness and participant in the nation’s most critical moments. Whether one agreed or differed with his views, no one can deny that he devoted his life to the service of the Republic.”
CIBAC honors Enrile’s valuable contribution to the country’s legal and political institutions—from his early years in government, to his pivotal roles during historic transitions in Philippine democracy. His longevity in service and intellect left an indelible mark on the Senate and the nation’s collective memory.
“On behalf of CIBAC and our constituents, we offer our sincere prayers and sympathies to the Enrile family,” Rep. Villanueva added.
“May they find comfort in the promise of God’s peace and eternal rest. As it is written in 2 Timothy 4:7, ‘I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.’”
CIBAC joins the nation in honoring the life, legacy, and service of Juan Ponce Enrile, whose story will forever be part of the tapestry of Philippine history.
