Origins

The memes began being viral in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Philippines when people in the internet started posting memes of Enrile being immortal.[1] The memes went viral as Enrile has lived a long life and was 96 year old at that time[2] and retired from politics after a failed senate comeback in 2019.[3] Netizens began using social quotes card templates from news sites and photoshopped pictures of Enrile in backgrounds from history to place Enrile as witnessing almost all of human history.[4]
