She noted, however, that they remained “sensible about everything.”“We’re doing okay. A bit overwhelmed but I think we’re doing a good job honoring my dad,” Katrina said.“We were already preparing… as a family for this eventuality. So, it didn’t really take as much time to set up. Actually, while he was still in the hospital we’re already anticipating, of course not one thing, things happened,” she added.Juan Ponce Enrile died peacefully last November 13, 2025, at around 4 p.m., surrounded by his family at home.Katrina also thanked everyone “for the outpouring of support” and expressed appreciation for the good memories and stories shared by her father’s colleagues.“We are actually collating all of them and keeping it, and it’s just to give us good memories of my father and how they knew him also. So, we’re just thankful,” she said.A final public viewing is scheduled on November 21, followed by a funeral Mass at the Santuario de San Antonio on November 22.Enrile will be interred at the Libingan ng mga Bayani on Saturday morning.
