Enrile says he’ll quit politics in 2016

He can’t blame us if we don’t want to believe him.

“On Monday, Dec 16, Senator Juan Ponce Enrile said he was done with politics as he belied reports he will run for governor of Cagayan in the 2016 elections,” reports Macon Ramos-Araneta in Manila Standard Today.

Enrile, who is now 89, will end his Senate stint on June 30, 2016. He says he’s throwing in the towel by then. He’ll be 92 then.

The report went on to quote Enrile, who said, “I’m done. I have done enough to help this country. I didn’t succeed that much. In some I succeeded, but that’s life.”

Last month, the senator was embroiled in a word war against Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago.
