Erap calls GMA arrest 'karma'
MANILA, Philippines – Former President Joseph Estrada described the arrest of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as “karma.”
“Talagang ang Panginoon ‘di natutulog. Nakakarma na lahat eh, lahat ng umano sa akin,” Estrada said.
Estrada, who is currently in Singapore for a vacation, earlier urged the now Pampanga representative not to leave the country.
He said Arroyo should face the charges against her, similar to what he did when he was convicted of plunder in 2007.
“Dapat nga siguro ‘yon ang din ang gawin ni Mrs. Arroyo, na huwag siyang umalis ng bansa. Harapin niya lahat ng mga kasong pina-file laban sa kanya,” he said.
Former President Arroyo, former Maguindanao Gov. Andal Ampatuan Sr., and former election supervisor Lintang Bedol were charged with electoral sabotage by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Friday morning.
The arrest warrants were served by police past 6 p.m.
Estrada, meanwhile, arrived at the Changi International Airport in Singapore at around 11 a.m.
He said he was invited by a friend and will be spending the weekend in Singapore. -- Report from Jorge Cariño, ABS-CBN News

Mr. Estrada has the nerve
I get goose bumps listening to Mr. Estrada talk. He is better off keeping his mouth shut and not make any comments on this case because he is just gaining unnecessary visibility reminding people of his checkered political history. Mr. Estrada simply has poor judgment skills before, during and even after his oust from office. Mr. Estrada has a lot of money. He might as well invest money hiring a personable PR person to do the talking for him.
Does it really matter?
GMA will be able to run for congress again after she served her jail time (or should I say house confinement). Just watch! Prime example of this is Erap himself. Who would've thought an ex-president who got impeached was able to run another term, and almost won (second to Pnoy)?? Come on now... you guys are more educated than that!
To Erap, I hope your 'karma' hit you in the near term!
KAPAL MO ERAP....
KAPAL ANG MUKHA MO SABIHIN KAY PGMA YAN...HOY IKAW MISMO AY CONVICTED NA PLUNDERER...TAPOS NAKALAYA KA DAHIL PINARDON KA NONE OTHER THAN PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO.

Nasasabi ulng yn brad kasi baka tuta k din ng mga arroyo............
Mga HANGAL!!!
Pagkatapos nito eh ano??? back to demise? back to poverty? back to old Philippines?
The same story goes if we continue to act this way. Nangyarin na ito kang ERap at sa iba't iba pa dyang mga kurakot. Why not focus on our Economy, focus kay PAngulong Aquino kasi hanggang ngayon wala parin asenso ang Pinas.
Hindi ako hangal. este hangal ako pag hindi ma impeach si Pnoy!

ERAP - GMA
I hope that PNOY will also file a case against the two mastermind of the Dacer-Corbito murder case. The Senator who fled the country before and now back due to strong ties with the current administration. Also the Senator boss before when he was still the head of the PNP.
ALL politics nothing the same. Why not also file graft charges against the Senator who use a dummy name to purchase a huge and expensive house in QC. After neighbors learned that he is staying in that place. He immediately sold the house and transferred to a new POSH subdivision.
Unfortunately our goverment has not change a bit. Kung sino ang malakas sa present administration kahit may masamang nakalipas ay makakatakas. From the time of Cory - Ramos - Erap - GMA and sadly even in the present.
