Today will mark the fate of deposed former President Joseph Estrada of the Republic of the Philippines. It was six years ago, when the EDSA 2 Revolution occurred led then by Vice-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo that ousted President Joseph Estrada from his position as the leader of this nation. I can still remember what transpired that day, watching from the different local and international news reporters - reporting one common message to the public - President Joseph Estrada is accused of plunder - an act of indiscriminately taking goods (a nation's wealth) by force as part of a military or political power.
Now, six years has passed and we are facing a dilemma of what will be the end-result of the thorough investigation of the different government agencies regarding this case. We, Filipinos would ONLY want to know the real truth regarding this issue since the facts presented to us during the trial were not disclosed to the public.
Guilty or innocent, it no longer matter to us, we've been there before - EDSA 1, 2, 3 and we just want to move on with our individual lives. Most of my countrymen are still poor, plunder or not, it won't change their lives.
