MANILA, Nov 13, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Juan Ponce Enrile, a shrewd political operator who helped author the brutal martial law of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr's rule, died Thursday at the age of 101, his daughter said.

Enrile, who was being treated for pneumonia, died at home at 4:21 pm (0821 GMT) "surrounded by our family", Katrina Ponce Enrile said on her Facebook page, adding there would be a public viewing.
