Joseph Estrada guilty of plunder

Deposed President Joseph Estrada was sentenced to life in prison today after being found guilty beyond reasonable doubt for the crime of plunder.

The 70-year-old Estrada was cleared of the other two charges of maintaining a bank account in a false name and of diverting tobacco taxes to his own use. He was not jailed immediately but ordered to continue living under house arrest in his own villa. He is expected to appeal the conviction. Two co-defendants - Estrada’s son Senator Jinggoy Estrada and the lawyer Eduardo Serapio were acquitted of all charges during the 10-minute court hearing.

    Mabuhay ang Sandiganbayan at mga Kababayang Pilipino. Justice has been served rightly for the former Philippine president Joseph Estrada. He is TRULY GUILTY OF HIS CRIME and serves as a good example of what happens to corrupt public officials who use their positions for personal gain. Keeping bank accounts full of illegally pocketed money from gambling and other means is dishonesty at the highest level. He does not care for the Masang Pilipino. He cares only for himself, his family and close friends. Hindi niya dapat gamitin ang mga Masang Pilipino. Sa wakas, his true face has been proven to the Filipino people.
