[Title] => Resthouse arrest for Estrada
[Summary] => Detained former President Joseph Estrada scored a pair of legal victories at the Sandiganbayan yesterday.
Just hours after ruling that Estrada cannot be prosecuted for using the alias "Jose Velarde" to open a bank account, the anti-graft court granted his request for a "transfer of detention" — meaning his request to be detained in his resthouse in Tanay, Rizal.
In a 19-page resolution, Justices Minita Chico-Nazario, Edilberto Sandoval and Teresita Leonardo-de Castro acquitted Estrada of the charge that he illegally used the alias Jose Velarde to open an Equitable PCI Bank account in February 2000.

[Title] => Estrada trial resumes on July 12
[Summary] => Ousted President Joseph Estrada’s plunder trial is set to resume on Monday after the Sandiganbayan rejected yesterday a motion of defense lawyers to file a demurrer to evidence.
In a demurrer to evidence, a party waives his right to present evidence on grounds that the case against him cannot be prosecuted as it has no legal or factual basis.
The anti-graft court’s special division ruled that the defense had "merely rehashed" their arguments and raised no new issues.

[Title] => Erap b’day wish: United opposition
[Summary] => Detained former President Joseph Estrada celebrated his birthday yesterday with a wish very much in keeping with the politically charged season.
Estrada, who turned 67, wants rival opposition candidates Sen. Panfilo Lacson and actor Fernando Poe Jr. "to unite for the good of the Filipino people."
"Both are my good friends and I am sure they will listen to an old friend like myself," he said.

[Title] => Estrada insists on X’mas, medical leave
[Summary] => A day after he asked the Sandiganbayan to allow him to spend the Christmas holiday with his 98-year-old mother, jailed former President Joseph Estrada begged the anti-graft court to allow him to undergo knee replacement surgery in the United States.
Estrada, who is detained at an Army training camp in Tanay, Rizal, complained of the pain caused by his knees and multiple slipped discs, which apparently caused the 66-year-old former president to have a fall recently.

[Title] => Sandiganbayan appoints new lawyer to defend Erap
[Summary] => The Sandiganbayan appointed yesterday a former counsel of jailed Pre-sident Joseph Estrada to represent him in the corruption charges he is facing in the anti-graft court, replacing veteran lawyer Prospero Crescini, who quit over his irreconcilable differences with another Estrada lawyer.
In a four-page resolution, the special division designated former Manila chief prosecutor Jose Flaminiano, a seasoned trial lawyer who represented Estrada in the December 2000 Senate impeachment trial.

[Title] => Erap ordered to appear in court
[Summary] => Sandiganbayan justices have ordered deposed President Joseph Estrada to attend tomorrow’s hearing of his plunder case even as his lawyer seeks to convince the court to reconsider its decision denying their motion to dismiss the corruption charges against Estrada.
In a one-page order, the special division ordered the Philippine National Police to "escort" the jailed leader from his hospital suite in the Veterans Memorial Medical Center to the anti-graft court to attend the 8:30 a.m. hearing.

[Title] => Estrada trial postponed anew

[Title] => Sandigan won’t let Jinggoy go to US
[Summary] => The Sandiganbayan denied yesterday the request of former San Juan mayor Jinggoy Estrada to bring his family to the United States for a vacation.
Justices Minita Chico-Nazario, Edilberto Sandoval and Teresita Leonardo de Castro didn’t buy the argument of the son of deposed President Joseph Estrada — who is out on bail for plunder charges — that he has no intention to evade prosecution.

[Title] => No thrice-a-week trial for Estrada — Sandigan
[Summary] => The twice-a-week trial schedule of the plunder case against deposed President Estrada stays, the Sandiganbayan ruled yesterday as it turned down government prosecutors’ request to add one more day to the schedule so as to expedite the proceedings.
Presiding Justice Minita Chico Nazario, who also heads the special division hearing the suit, said the request is "denied" in view of the April 2002 agreement made by both parties to hold a two-day hearing every week, but which is equivalent to a three-day trial.

[Title] => Carpet sticker in ‘Boracay’ bears Estrada’s name
[Summary] => The evidence was literally found under the rug.
A sticker bearing the name of ousted President Joseph Estrada found underneath a 15 by 14 foot cream carpet bordered with a shell design ended speculations yesterday as to the identity of the owner of the controversial Boracay Mansion in New Manila, Quezon City.
Valued at P142 million and purportedly bought with ill-gotten wealth from jueteng payoffs, among other pieces of property, was the house occupied by Laarni Enriquez, one of Estrada’s mistresses.
