Philippines: Estrada elected mayor of Manila

9 days ago, euronews Videos

Ousted as the president of the Philippines more than a decade ago, Joseph Estrada has been elected mayor of the capital, Manila. A movie-star turned politician, Estrada became president in 1998, but was overthrown in 2001 in the midst of a corruption trial. He was later convicted, then pardoned. Estrada told supporters he was delighted they had given him their “trust and confidence” again. Manila resident Bong Lapera said: “Yes, he was convicted before, but his service to the Filipino people has been proven – especially to the poor.” The 76-year-old has said he wants to dedicate the last years of his life to serving Manila – pledging to focus on poorer areas.
