The Philippine Taekwondo community mourns the passing of Juan Ponce Enrile, the first President of the Philippine Taekwondo Association.
His early leadership and vision helped plant the seeds of Taekwondo in the Philippines, allowing the sport to grow, flourish, and uplift thousands of Filipino practitioners across the country. We remember him not just as a public servant, but as one of the pillars who supported Taekwondo during its foundational years.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family. Thank you for your service in our sport.
Rest in peace.
