Arturo "Boy" Tiongson Enrile (June 20, 1940 – January 14, 1998) was the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications from 1997 to 1998.

[10] Enrile died in January 1998 after his major organs (liver heart, kidney, lungs) were attacked by bacteria.

Doctors spent a lot of time explaining to media representatives and live TV cameras that the former AFP chief of staff did not die from the Hong Kong Bird Flu.

An official medical bulletin said Enrile died from complications arising from virulent viral infection, or "multiple organ failure due to septic shock and streptococcal pneumonic bacteraemia."

President Ramos expressed his deep condolences for the "untimely demise of a devoted public servant and leader" and attended the wake.
