Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada can now heave a sigh of relief after the Sandiganbayan acquitted him of bribery and indirect bribery over the multibillion pork barrel scam orchestrated by Janet Lim Napoles.
The senator stressed this ruling reaffirms the innocence he has consistently maintained throughout the ordeal. He has been struggling for a decade to prove that he was not guilty of the baseless accusations hurled against him. “And above all, I think not to destroy the trust given to me by the people,” said Estrada as he thanked the Sandiganbayan, which ruled in favor of his motion for reconsideration.
The anti-graft court cleared him of one count of direct bribery and two counts of indirect bribery due to lack of evidence.
