Former senator Jinggoy Estrada was brought to a police station in San Juan on Sunday for allegedly violating the government's guidelines on enhanced community quarantine.
San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora said Estrada was arrested for going around the city's barangays even though the former senator was not authorized to do so.
"Sapagkat itong si dating Senador Jinggoy Estrada ay ilang araw na pong nag-iikot dito sa lungsod ng San Juan na walang authority," Zamora said in an interview on TV Patrol.
(Because former senator Jinggoy Estrada has been going around San City for several days without authority.)
Zamora said Estrada's relief efforts were drawing crowds in violation of the guidelines on physical distancing.
"Nag-iikot, parating maraming tao, walang social distancing."
(He's going around, there's always a crowd, there's no social distancing.)
The mayor also said Estrada's camp did not coordinate with the local government and did not secure a certificate for their relief operations.
"Kung gusto niyang tumulong sa ating mga mamamayan, ayon sa DILG [Departmenf of Interior and Local Government], kailangang kumuha ng certification sa local government," Zamora said.
(If he wants to help our citizens, according to the DILG, he needs to get certification from the local government.)
ESTRADA RELEASED AFTER BEING 'INVITED'
Estrada was released by the police at around 8 p.m. The former senator said the police did not file any charges against him and just gave him a warning.
In an interview, Estrada said he was "invited to the police station" for allegedly violating quarantine protocols, specifically, physical distancing while distributing relief goods.
He also denied allegations he was giving away money along with the relief goods.
"At any rate, unfortunately, this is all about politics. I think Mayor Zamora already held an interview, gave an interview in various networks, and allegedly he told the media, I was distributing bangus along with money. I deny. Wala po akong perang ibinibigay. Sinasabi niya mayroon akong perang ipinamimigay (I am not giving away money. He said I am distributing money)," Estrada said.
"Assuming, assuming totoo ang sinasabi niya (what he is saying is true), I think there's nothing wrong [with that]. People are hungry, people have no work. He should understand that," he added.
The former senator earlier accused Zamora of blocking a mobile market that sold goods at half the price, which was an initiative of his daughter Janella.
Janella was defeated in the last elections by Zamora.
Videos of Estrada being accosted by police have been posted on social media.
The video shows the former senator boarding a police vehicle at around 4 p.m. in Brgy. Salapan, San Juan City.
Bayan Patroller Fred Lozano, who lives in Brgy. Salapan, said Estrada was handing out fish to residents when police arrived and ordered him to stop.
A video shot by Lozano showed a crowd had gathered in the area.
Why?? Its totally unfair to release him
ReplyDeleteTrue. Especially since naka orange uniform na siya.
Deletebakit ba pinalabas pa ang taong iyan?
DeleteIto kagandahan sa mga pulitiko VERY ZEALOUS pagdating sa pagtulong kahit Mali o illegal na basta makatulong dahil hindi nila matiis makitang me nagugutom na mga kababayan nila lalo na yung mga bumoto sa kanila. Yung mga hindi bumoto e manigas sa gutom!
ReplyDeletehaha. hello? this is free publicity. lapit na election o. dont be such a fanatic.
Deletehe can help without having to go out in the streets. sa dami ng pera nyan, he can go tell his staff to do it. but nope, "let's do this because the people might have forgotten me already"
Delete12:45 "Yung mga hindi bumoto e manigas sa gutom!"
DeleteSo you're saying n if hindi nmin sya binoto, wla kming makukuha tulong from him??? Ay ang kapal nman ng mukha nyo. Baka nakakalimutan nyo n politician/public servant ang TRABAHO nila. Binabayaran sila ng taong bayan through the taxes that they deduct from our salary and to the things that we buy.
So RESPONSIBILIDAD nila n tumulong at pa-unladin ang nasasakupan nila which the Estrada FAILED TO DO
sige nga ngayon sila pamudmod ng pera. Kasi yang rolling palengke, si Vico nagpauso niyan.
ReplyDeletenamimiss nya na yata ang kulungan hahahaha
ReplyDeleteAstig. Sakto kulay ng suot nya.
ReplyDeleteToo late for the estrada's . You had your chance to show your leadership during your time kaso wala eh. Di naramdaman ng taong bayan. Kaya ayun sinuka nila angkan nyo.
ReplyDeleteBagay sa kanya ang orange
ReplyDeletePonkan na may bigote. Ang pathetic ng pag iingay nito.
ReplyDeleteBat di pa to kinasuhan? Yung iba binubugbog kasi nasa labas at ito pakakawalan lang? Jusko, pag may pera nga nman.
ReplyDeletenakakahiya talaga ang mga estrada! anong nangyari sa taong ito? nagpapansin siya???. In fairness, bagay sa kanya ang orange uniform.
ReplyDeleteStaged!!!
ReplyDeleteShow off. Hmm, salamat ss pagbibigay pero obvious may vested interest.
ReplyDeleteWala kang sincerity!
May nagpapabango to have their name back in SJ
ReplyDeleteI doubt it,Mayor Z put all his effort, time and money para sa position na ang tagal niyang hinintay. They had their chance tsk tsk
Papansin si Jinggoy
ReplyDeleteNaka ready na pala outfit mo.
ReplyDeleteParang tumatanda ng paurong ang taong ito.
ReplyDeleteThis!
Deleteang sikip nung jumpsuit. Mukha siyang giant cheese puff
ReplyDeleteJusko para paraan para mapag usapan Yak
ReplyDeleteang babaw nyo.. sana alamin nyo bakit sya hinuhuli? kung may nilabag ba talaga o minamasama lang ung gingawa nya.. marami attemp na para mapahinto ung sinasabi nyong show off pero natutuloy pa din kasi dahil sa mga kumakalam na sikmura hindi tulad nyo busog sa panahon na ito.tanungin nyo ung mga taong naabutan ng isang bangus o libreng gamot o nakabili sa kanila ng 50% off? wala naman silang sinabi na sila mastermind ng rolling store.magtanong kayo sa taga brgy greenhills ilan ng ang di nagbigyan ng SAP at relief goods sa kanila? tanong tanong din wag puro kuda lalo na wala kayo sa san juan.
ReplyDeleteHindi na-observe ang social distancing. Nagkagulo ang mga tao at nabale wala ang purpose ng ECQ. Wala ring certification. So kailangan talagang icoordinate with LGU para nasa ayos ang pagtulong.
Delete5:20 ex senator sya. Walang masama sa ginawa nya problem lang hindi marunong sumunod sa rules. Sinabi na ng guidelines makipag coordinate sa munisipyo or lgu pero wala eh gusto magpabango para sa election.
DeleteHindi naman ang pagtulong ang kinikwestyon but the way he is doing it. Pwede naman siya tumulong na hindi siya ang pumunta. It is obvious na his presence is causing people to forget social distancing. It endangers them. And of course kailangan talaga na siya pumunta means it is first of all for show. Hindi ngayon panahon ng kampanya. You might want to say it is the people's right to defy rules kasi buhay nila but that is not so. By endangering themselves they also endanger everyone else na makakasalamuha nila. Sorry pero hindi excuse ang gutom para hindi gawin ng maayos anumang tulong na gusto niya ibigay.
DeleteThe estradas are clearly defying the LGU of San Juan. Though natulong sila.
ReplyDeletePaulit ulit na violators.
Well bad publicity is still publicity nga naman
