| Former SEC chief apologizes to Estrada, admits civil society used him Elite conspiracy in Erap ouster confirmed By Gerry Baldo 02/16/2010 Close to 10 years after the ouster of then sitting President Joseph Estrada through a coup d’etat, which was preceded by the collapse of the Senate impeachment trial deliberately done to trigger street protests, as the then political opposition and the elite civil society walked out of the Senate courtroom, former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman and Bangon Pilipinas vice presidential candidate Perfecto Yasay, the other day, admitted publicly in Davao City that the ouster of Estrada resulted from an elite conspiracy to topple the then sitting president. Yasay was one of the candidates who showed up for the 25th anniversary of the Tabernacles of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Sunday, with a reported 30,000 in attendance, when he made the apology directed at Estrada. Yasay surprised the crowd when he publicly apologized to the former president whom he said he had offended at the time he was head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. “I have offended this man and I ask for his forgiveness,” Yasay, referring to Estrada, admitted. “Please accept my public apology for being so naive for allowing myself to be used by some to grab the presidency from you. “I know that I have offended this man 10 years ago. I am asking for forgiveness at this time when love governs us all. My public apology to Erap for offending him when I was asked to do what I have to do to carry out my duties,” said Yasay in his speech, which event was carried by media.  ....

Kudos to your bravery and honesty, Mr. Yasay. However, does your apology to Erap mean that your testimony back then in 2000/2001 was FALSE????
I think you need to expound and, thus, shed more light on the power grab conspiracy against President Estrada.
Lame denials by the camp of the Illegitimate:
