Enrico de Jesus Puno (Tagalog: [ɛnˈɾɪkɔ de hɛˈsus ˈpʊnɔʔ]; February 13, 1953 – October 30, 2018), better known as Rico J. Puno (Tagalog: [ˈɾikɔ dʒeɪ ˈpʊnɔʔ]), was a Filipino singer, television host, actor, comedian and politician.

Although he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Philippine School of Business Administration, Puno dreamed of becoming a singer.

[3] Puno introduced himself and his talent to the entertainment business by performing at folk houses and small clubs in Metro Manila.

[3] In 1979, Puno represented the Philippines at the Tokyo Music Festival, with "Lupa" (Ground), a song that imparted messages on how an individual could strive to change for the better, on how to gain humility and other human values, on how not to judge others, and on how to struggle against one's own weaknesses.

[4] From 2001, the Greatest Hits series in Manila, produced by Viva Concerts helped maintain Puno's popularity.

Puno's hit songs included "Kapalaran" (Fate), "Buhat" (Ever Since), "Macho Gwapito" (Gorgeous Young Man), "Lupa" (Soil or Ground), "Damdamin" (Feelings), "May Bukas Pa" (There's Still Tomorrow), "Ang Tao'y Marupok" (People Are Fragile), "Magkasuyo Buong Gabi" (Together Through the Night) – a duet with Elsa Chan – and his Filipino rendition of "You Don't Have To Be A Star (To Be in My Show)".

His performances included tours in the United States, Canada, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and European countries.

His first and only action thriller movie was Alas Dose (2001), where he plays as a bad congressman who bombs a preschool learning center.

GMA Network hired Puno to host a noontime variety show, Lunch Date which first aired in March 1986 and served as a replacement for Student Canteen.

In 1994–1995, he headlined another noontime show, Chibugan Na (It's Eating Time), aired weekdays at noon on RPN, with Hajji Alejandro.

Although Binay won the mayoralty race, Puno lost to Kid Peña, who was the running mate of then-outgoing vice mayor Ernesto Mercado.

As his daughter Tosca was term-limited, he successfully regained a seat in the Makati City Council in 2016 under the ticket of Abigail Binay.

[14] On November 6, his remains were later brought to the Makati City Hall before being laid to rest at The Heritage Park in Taguig.
