Edsa II rectification in order
The recantations and retractions former President Joseph Estrada had collected over the years involving Edsa II that robbed him of the presidency and seated Gloria Arroyo in power would be enough reason for the reopening of the plunder case that convicted him and was feebly based on insider trading and his supposed gains from the illegal numbers game jueteng. In truth, there really was no evidence presented by the prosecution of these two charges against Estrada. Besides, plunder refers to public funds. Neither the BW stocks nor jeuteng can be considered public funds. To say that the arrest, trial and conviction of Estrada were not politically motivated would be a big lie. The most recent Edsa II personality to seek Estrada’s forgiveness was former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Perfecto Yasay whose testimonies were claimed to be key to the insider trading allegations on the BW Resources stocks against Estrada. The Sandiganbayan ruling against Estrada used insider-trading as a principal basis for the plunder case to justify his being incarcerated for six and a half years after the 2001 power grab.
