Francisco Enage was a Filipino politician.
Franciso Enage was born in Tacloban, Leyte on October 4, 1878, to Emeterio Enaje and Cleofe Abella. He served in the Philippine Revolutionary Army and was wounded during the Philippine-American War in 1900. He subsequently worked as a lawyer.[1]
During the early part of the American occupation, he was elected as Municipal Councilor of Tacloban. He was elected to the House of Representatives as a delegate for Leyte's 4th district from 1912 to 1915, and Senator for the 9th District comprising Leyte and Samar from 1919 to 1925. He also served in the judiciary as Provincial Fiscal of Iloilo, an Executive Secretary, and a Judge.[1]
He returned to the National Assembly in 1935 as representative of the fourth district of Leyte, but to avoid a deadlock in the election of Speaker, for which he was a candidate, he resigned from the body to accept the position of Technical Adviser to President Manuel Quezon.[1]
