He may be dead, but that doesn't mean we are done with Juan Ponce Enrile.

Ramos and Juan Ponce Enrile held a press conference announcing their historic break from the ruthless regime of Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. For Enrile, the dictator’s martial law administrator, it was a tell-all. He confessed before the world that his so-called ambush on the eve of September 23, 1972 when Marcos publicly announced the imposition of martial law was faked.
