Then look at the signature of the President on a 500 peso note. Mr Arroyo said the cheque was made out to Jose Luis Yulo, a friend of Mr Estrada, who in turn used part of the money to finance purchases made by a company called St Peter's Holdings, of which he was the owner. The company bought an 86 million peso mansion in Manila which newspapers have said is occupied by former starlet Laarni Enriquez, who Mr Estrada has acknowledged is the mother of some of his children. Mr Arroyo said cash was also handed out to the President's wife and one of his sons. Earlier, the Catholic Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Jaime Sin, told a prayer rally that Mr Estrada should not be afraid to accept calls for his resignation.
Resignation is a heroic act and only a brave man can do that.
If two-thirds of senators find Mr Estrada accepted bribes and was involved in corrupt practices which betrayed public trust and violated the Constitution, he will be removed from office automatically. This material is subject to copyright and any unauthorised use, copying or mirroring is prohibited.
