About the news yesterday here in the Philippines, Sen. Panfilo Lacson made a exposure in he’s  privilege speech about alleged criminal activities, including smuggling and shakedown of a businessman on our former President Joseph Estrada’s. Sen. Lacson, in his speech,  Estrada enriched himself in power from 1998 to 2001.  He accused former President Estrada involvement of illegal game jueteng, extortion, intimidation of businessmen, ordering the release of big shipments of smuggled dressed chicken and rice from the Bureau of Customs. Lacson said, his first encounter with Estrada’s greed for power when the latter tried to convince him to go easy on jueteng. Lacson first worked with Estrada an anti-crime task force when he was still vice president. There was time he said, that Estrada In August 1998, that one of the country’s prominent businessmen, Alfonso Yuchengco, was forced to sign his 7.75 percent shares with Philippine Telecommunications Investment Corp. (PTIC), equivalent to 18,720 shares, to Metro Pacific under its president Manuel V. Pangilinan. In his last speech he sited God save the Philippines from Joseph Ejercito  Estrada,”  and ended of his speech titled “ Ang dalawang mukha ng sining (The two faces of art). My point of view of this issue maybe Lacson had a big evidence to point out about the allegation that he throws to  former President Estrada. Hopefully in the end we Filipino’s will know what are the truth are.
