Salvacion "Sally" Ponce-Enrile (née Santiago; born July 16, 1958) is a Filipino politician and wife of former Congressman Jack Enrile of the 1st District of Cagayan. She held the same position in the 14th and 16th Congress. She is Founder & Co-Chairperson at First Shoshin Holdings Inc., an investment firm with a focus on financial technology startups.
She is also a prominent artist. Her early studies in criminology, psychology, and business allowed her to observe and study people’s behavior and true nature. Yet it was her political background that gave her the opportunity to witness the real challenges people in extreme poverty are facing daily. It’s these genuinely kind and generous people she has met that’s given her a unique way to see the world. Today, reflecting on those moments remains her inspiration.
Sal now uses her art as a platform to voice the complexities of her experiences. Some of her works are available at FDX Online. She is also an artist-in-residence at Rossocinabro Gallery, Rome, and is currently represented by several galleries in Europe and New York.

Sally got her College Degree at Christian Heritage College, California, Class of 1994. She obtained a master's degree in Psychology from Assumption College, in the Philippines. She also has a master's degree in Criminal Justice from Boston University and is a member of the Alpha Phi Sigma National Criminal Justice Honor Society.
Political career[]
Her political career started in 2007 as Representative of the 1st District of Cagayan in the Congress of the Philippines, serving for two terms - from 2007-2010 and 2013-2016. Her husband preceded and succeeded her in the congressional seat.[citation needed]
