Prior to the burial, a funeral Mass was held at the Santuario de San Antonio Church in Makati City attended by his family, friends, and supporters.

Enrile died on Nov. 13 at the age of 101 surrounded by his family, his daughter Katrina Ponce Enrile said.

Marcos honored Enrile as ''one of the most enduring and respected public servants our country has ever known.''

''For over 50 years, Juan Ponce Enrile dedicated his life to serving the Filipino people, helping guide the country through some of its most challenging and defining moments,'' he said. —KG, GMA Integrated News
