[REMEMBERING A SIGMA RHOAN: The Life and Legacy of Juan Ponce S. Enrile ‘52]
The Sigma Rho Fraternity mourns the passing of former Senate President Juan Ponce S. Enrile '52, a distinguished statesman, legal luminary, and one of the Fraternity’s most distinguished alumni.
Juan Ponce Enrile ’52 is best remembered for his role in the 1986 People Power Revolution, where he played a pivotal role in gathering Filipinos together for a movement that culminated in a historic peaceful revolution. This, in addition to his tenure as a former Senate President and Senator, marks him as a legend in Philippine politics.
Under his watch as Senate President, key pieces of legislation such as the Anti-Torture Act, Expanded Senior Citizens Act, Anti-Child Po*******hy Act, and many others were passed by the Senate. These, in addition to his service as a congressional Representative and, more recently, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, showcase a life that highlights public service amongst the most difficult of times.
As we mourn the loss of Juan Ponce Enrile ‘52, we also celebrate the life of a true Sigma Rhoan, who with honor and dignity, committed his life to the betterment of his nation and its citizens. After life’s burdens and joys, he leaves behind a legacy that has fundamentally shaped Filipino society through a life well lived with sacrifice, loyalty, obedience, and service.
For Juan Ponce Enrile ’52, Fight!
For the Sigma Rho, Fight!
For the Grand Archon, Fight!
