Guilty

And so the Philippines once again made another first in its history as it convicted a former president to a life imprisonment!!!


Yesterday, the special division of the Sandigan Bayan had given its verdict after six years of trial for plunder and perjury against the deposed president Joseph Ejercito Estrada also known as ERAP along with his son Jinggoy and Atty Serapio among others.


Erap was acquitted of the charges of perjury so with Jinggoy and Atty Serapio for plunder but the erstwhile president of the republic was convicted for plunder in the criminal case 26558 and was sentenced to a reclusion perpetua.


The 70 year old former president was quoted saying the court was created to convict him while his lawyers were bringing along with them a book of famous trials saying that a special court is a victor's justice, meaning all cases which were under a special court, a conviction was given sighting from the time of Jesus down to the present times.


But the stockmarket has made a positive move right after the conviction. Peso gains ground against dollars signifying confidence of investors again in the Philippines after this turmoil...


While the showbiz has been giving moral support for Erap, a low turn out of pro Erap supporters were there at the SandiganBayan, about 400 contrary to the expected 4,000 says one thing or another.


At the end of the day, what is positive about this page in history is that, we have shown to the world, the no one is above the law!!!


God bless the philippines.
