Alfonso Ponce Enrile
He was proud that he was not proud. In humility he found pride and in complexity and simplicity.
This explains why Alfonso Ponce Enrile, one of the country’s eminent lawyers and certainly Baliwag’s pride, preferred to be addressed as plain Mr. Ponce Enrile instead of ‘Attorney’. He simply detested show-offs and humbugs. Frankness to him was a primary virtue, particularly so if “one has anything unpleasant to say”.

Poncing as he was findly called, soon capitulated to his clever mother,
Doña Teresa’s wish, lest he be humiliated in the presence of adorable
señoritas. After intermediate school graduation he attended Redlands
High School in California. At the time, there was no secondary course
in town yet.
He was among the second batch of pensionados sent to States by the
Philippine government. He studied law at Ohio State University in
Columbus, Ohio. Four years later he was admitted to the bar of the
state of Indiana. Though a stateside lawyer, he still needs to take the
bar exams here and so he reviewed in UP Diliman under Elpidio Quirino
and later on passed the bar with 77% ratings.
He went to work on different court battles and legal practices which he had worked with many famous politicians at his time.
Ponce Enrile succumbed to heart failure on July 3, 1967 at the age of 79.
