Erap to leave Phil

• At first they tried to get Erap out of the Phil. by the efforts of justice secretary Nany Perez but then ERAP declined next they used blackmail telling him that if he does not leave they will file false charges again ERAP declined and said he would face the false charges

Accusations

• Joseph Estrada was accused of spending long hours drinking and having midnight drinking sessions he was also accused of plunder and corruption also he was accused of perjury

Trial

• The judge was chief justice ilario Davique the EDSA 2 was started when on Erap’s trial the second envelope was voted not to be opened 11-10 which led to the power grab or EDSA 2 in which Gloria Macapagal Arroyo with church officials businessmen and PNP officials closed ranks against Erap.

Trial

• After EDSA People Power 2 Erap was forced to make a temporary leave from malacanang to prevent violence He was initially detained at veterans memorial medical center in manila but was then moved to a military facility in tanay rizal but was transferred to a nearby vacation home under house arrest

Appeal

• On September 26, 2007, Joseph Estrada appealed by filing a 63-page motion for reconsideration of the Sandiganbayan judgment penned by Teresita De Castro (submitting 5 legal grounds). Estrada alleged that the court erred "when it convicted him by acquitting his alleged co-conspirators."

On October 5, 2007, the Sandiganbayan's Special Division ruled to have set for October 19,

oral argument (instead of a defense reply) on Joseph

Estrada’s motion for reconsideration. Estrada asked court permission to attend the hearing, since it ordered the prosecution to file comment

before October 11.

GMA President

• After Erap’s leave GMA took office of presidency illegally because according to the constitution of the Philippines the president may only be replaced president is dead, resigns, gets incapacitated, or is convicted after impeachment

People who criticized the presidency of GMA

• Hon. Cecilia Munoz Palma

“The 1987 Constitution suffered this happened when the ongoing impeachment trial of President Joseph Estrada was disrupted and discontinued and the issues on hand were brought ot the parliament of the streets”

• Lee Kuan Yew

“The change of power in the Philippines was no boost for democracy because it was done outside the constitution”

Many People criticized that GMA

Is president of the Phil, for it is illegitimate

Events proving accusations false

Pardon

• On October 22, 2007, Acting Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera stated that Joseph Estrada is seeking a “full, free, and unconditional pardon” from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Estrada's lawyer Jose Flaminiano wrote Arroyo:

justice and vindication before the courts. Today [Monday], we filed a withdrawal of his

Motion for Reconsideration." Estrada, 70, stressed the "delicate condition" of his

mother in asking for pardon.
