@jesusfalcis He has had so many chances to do good. Sadly he belongs to the old class of politics self serving, no conscience, infectious. No sympathies.
JUAN PONCE ENRILE
RAGS TO (CORRUPT) RICHES
Juan Valentin Furagganan, more popularly known as Juan Ponce Enrile, was born on February 14, 1924 in Gonzaga, Cagayan, to Petra Furagganan, the stepdaughter of a poor fisherman.
He was born out of wedlock, as his father, the Spanish mestizo lawyer and influential provincial politician Alfonso Ponce Enrile, was already married.
At the time of his birth, Alfonso served as a representative from the 1st district of Cagayan.
Juan Furagganan was reunited with his father who took legal steps in changing his name to Juan Ponce Enrile, the name that he would use for his pre-law enrollment.
Enrile was a protégé of President Ferdinand Marcos who served as Justice Secretary and Defense Minister during the Marcos administration.
Enrile played a key role in the planning and documentary legwork for Martial Law, and was in charge of the Philippine Military during its implementation.
Other roles in this period included Presidency of the Philippine Coconut Authority through which he gained control of the copra industry and being the general put in charge of logging in the Philippines under martial law — a period during which lumber exports were so extensive that the forest cover of the Philippines shrank until only 8% remained.
In January 2013, while sitting as the Senate President, Enrile was accused of using Senate funds called MOOE as Christmas gifts to members of the Senate who do not oppose him.
This led to his resignation as Senate President without sufficiently answering the controversy.
Enrile was indicted for plunder and for the violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act before the Sandiganbayan on June 6, 2014, in connection to the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam.
On October 24, 2025, the Sandiganbayan acquitted Enrile, along with Gigi Reyes.
Ang masamang damo, matagal mamatay. At nag hintay ma acquit.
That is the tragedy of the Enrile legacy over a century.

It’s suspicious why the Discayas revealed the Congs involved in kickbacks from 2022-2025. Why did they not reveal those involved from 2016-2022… just asking… The Discayas revealed that they were involved in Flood Control Projects since 2016.
BREAKING NEWS: Sen. @sotto_tito has secured enough votes to replace Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero as Senate president amid the widening probe into the flood control scandal, Politiko has learned from multiple sources. @Politiko_Ph@bncdotph
The Red Flags of the Discaya statement — it basically protects the Senators and the Dutertes
Who is buying this shit?
Who in the right mind would believe this shit? Well, maybe Senators Dela Rosa and Marcoleta who conveniently try to portray the Discayas as the victims of the system.
I would like to know the truth about this as much as the next person, but I cannot help but to point out few red flags here:
1. Roman Romulo — the Discayas are reportedly planning to run in Pasig again in 2028. If this is really the truth, why not expose this in the 2022 elections. Roman Romulo in all intents and purposes connected to their rival, Vico Sotto.
I sincerely think that this is self-serving and who knows that maybe the congressmen implicated there are the enemies of the people who swore to protect them.
So, I am taking their statement with a grain of salt. They should substantiate this. Even their affidavit doesn’t have evidence — not one.
2. No SOP during the time of Duterte? Lols
From the last hearing, Mrs. Discaya disclosed that they started getting DPWH projects in 2016 and documents even exposed that they have joint ventures with a company of Bong Go’s father for projects in Davao City.
What a convenient lie. Lols
3. No Senator on the list?
I sincerely hope they can make the lies believable.
—----
Well, to end — the Senators and the Senate President should be cautious of giving the Discayas the protection they are asking. Especially if it is going to bar them attending the hearing of the House of Representatives.
The Congressmen should be granted the opportunity to challenge their statements.
