He started his career in broadcasting as a staff announcer at the Manila Broadcasting Company in 1969.

He since worked in various positions, as a broadcast reporter, a news editor, program director, and station manager, until he became manager of a medium-sized radio network. He also had stints in other radio networks such as Freedom Broadcasting Radio Network and Radio Mindanao Network (RMN), where he became vice president for the company.

In 1994, after leaving RMN, Enriquez joined GMA to head its radio division and expand its radio networks, with only 4 originating stations at that time.

In 1995, Enriquez was convinced by the network to be the anchor, in what would be his first on-cam appearance.

Months later, the network executives called for him to come back; he anchored a 15-minute newscast, in the early evening slot, together with Karen Davila. The late-afternoon news program, entitled Saksi: GMA Headline Balita premiered on October 2, 1995.

In September 1998, he landed his anchor-duties into the late-night newscast GMA Network News with Vicky Morales. Since his first months on Network News, they decided to change the language to "Taglish", and later, changed to Filipino in early 1999.

In January 1999, he returned to radio via Super Radyo DZBB, with his new program based on his former newscast, Saksi sa Dobol B; in August 1999, he returned to Saksi, with his co-host in GMA Network News Vicky Morales.

In August 2000, he hosted the public affairs program entitled Imbestigador; he was later named "Imbestigador ng Bayan".

On March 12, 2004, he left Saksi to re-join Frontpage anchor Mel Tiangco in GMA's then newly-inaugurated primetime newscast 24 Oras.

He was named as one of the most child-friendly personalities by the Southeast Asian Foundation for Children and thrice consecutively by the Anak TV Seal awards.
