The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) mourned the death of veteran broadcaster Mike Enriquez. 

Enriquez, 71, passed away on Aug. 29. 

“Tayo ay nakikiramay sa pamilya at mga kaanak na naiwan ng ating kaibigan sa media na si Mike Enriquez,” PCO Secretary Cheloy Velicaria-Garafil said.

“Si Mike ay isa sa mga mamamahayag na ating itinuturing na kasangga sa paghahatid ng tapat at walang kinikilingang balita. Tunay na ang kanyang kontribusyon sa larangan ng pagbabalita ay hindi matatawaran,” Garafil added.

Enriquez was one of the long-time anchors of GMA’s newscast “24 Oras” and the host of “Imbestigador.”

He joined the broadcast industry in 1969 and then became part of the network in 1995. -ag
