Exclusive — 100 year-old Juan Ponce Enrile blows Korina away with his revelations!

VETERAN broadcast-journalist Korina Sanchez-Roxas sat down with the one and only living legend Juan Ponce Enrile in an exclusive interview.

Celebrating his 100th birthday being interviewed, the former senator and now Presidential Legal adviser of President Bongbong Marcos, Enrile jokingly answers whether he was alive when God created Adam and Eve, “Natatandaan ko pa ang suot ni Adan at ni Eba nung makilala ko sila. Zero. Wala. Hubad.”

“What an extraordinary man, what an extraordinary life like none other I know of among our public servants in history. Imagine ilang beses na siyang namatay mula pa noong 16 years old siya, dahil pinagsasaksak sya ng classmate niya dahil sa isang babae,” says Korina.

He became prominent and was able to hold important positions in the government from the administrations of Marcos, Aquino, Ramos, Estrada, Arroyo, Aquino and now, Marcos again – he has a different perspective in things.

Quotable quotes from Enrile during his interview:

“Let us not be fooled. Hindi natin kaibigan ang bansang China.”

“Ang kailangang pangulo ng bansa natin ay yung hindi bastos at hindi mamamatay tao.”

“I am worried about this new generation. They are too soft. Masyado silang malambot. Hindi sila handa sa pananalakay ng ibang bansa.”

“Marami sa mga sinasabi tungkol sa mga Marcos ay hindi totoo. Pwede ko yang idebate kahit saan at kahit kanino.”

“Wala naman bawal sa akin kainin. Hindi ko rin alam pano ako unabot nang ganitong edad.”

How would you want to be remembered?, Korina asked.

“Just make sure to spell my name, Juan Ponce-Enrile, correctly”.
