Erap is Guilty! September 12
Finally, after six years of special treatment, the Sandiganbayan has declared what we already knew all along: former Philippine president Joseph Estrada is guilty of plunder.
But then again, all he gets is a life term, when plunder is supposed to be a capital offense in the Philippines. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter, because I’m pretty certain that in a very short while, Gloria Macagapagal-Arroyo is going to pardon Erap’s unrepentant ass. Only in the Philippines. Sigh.
