Enriquez, 66, told newscaster Ivan Mayrina on "24 Oras" about his kidney condition. "Namana ko 'to (kidney condition) sa tatay ko, kaya kailangan ang regular na paggamot."

"Yung sa puso naman ay kailangan ng heart bypass, o kung tawagin ng mga doktor. 'Yung isasagawang operasyon, bypass operation, napaka-common eh. Pangkaraniwan na lang ngayon 'yon. Kaya sabi ng mga doktor, makakabalik ako sa aking normal na mga aktibidad pagkatapos ng operasyon," he added. - ROBERT REQUINTINA
