THE Sandiganbayan has reversed and set aside its January 2024 ruling which found Senator Jinggoy Estrada guilty of one count of direct bribery and two counts of indirect bribery in connection with the pork barrel scam.
P100-DAILY MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE BILL HURDLES 2ND READING: Senator Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada steers the passage on second reading Senate Bill No. 2534, also known as the P100 Daily Minimum Wage Increase Act Wednesday, February 14, 2024. The bill, sponsored by Estrada, aims to ease the financial strain on an estimated 4.2 million minimum wage earners grappling with the rising prices of basic goods and living costs.
Furthermore, Estrada insisted that the prosecution failed to present evidence to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt for the said crimes. “Thus, there is reasonable doubt as to the presence of the second element, or the fact of receiving the bribe by the accused Estrada, as there is no proof of his actual receipt thereof,” the court pointed out.
The indirect bribery stemmed from the amount of P1.5 million that he allegedly received from Napoles through Ruby Tuason as advance commission pending utilization of his PDAF allocation.
