For Juan \u201cJack\u201d Ponce Enrile Jr., next year\u2019s campaign is a chance to finally purge an \u201catrocious reputation\u201d as the prototypical bad boy of the \u201980s when his father was lording it over as the late President Ferdinand Marcos\u2019 martial law enforcer. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was a young, red-blooded male. You get into fights, but you never made the papers. But I did because it was blown out of proportion. It\u2019s an unfortunate thing. I\u2019m very sorry for those whose lives were lost but I never pulled or fired a shot in anger in my entire life. I can look at you with a straight face and say that,\u201d Enrile said in an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer at his Urdaneta Village home in January.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was kicked in my lower lip. I was beaten up in Grade 4 by Grade 7 students who were calling me \u2018tuta ni Marcos.\u2019 I got 17 stitches and I lied to my parents and told them I got kicked when I was playing football. But I had to fight back. I promised myself that would be the last time anybody laid a hand on me,\u201d Enrile said.<\/p>\n
Now 54 years old, the younger Enrile continues to deny that he had a hand over the death of the late actor Alfie Anido.
