HERE are some of the entries on the Estrada verdict that were posted by Filipino bloggers minutes after the Sandiganbayan found the former Philippine president guilty of plunder.
DJB Rizalist included an MP3 audio file of the promulgation in his blog entry.

Sana magbigay ito ng babala at mahuli din ang iba pang kurakot na opisyales sa gobyerno. Sila ang sumira sa pangalan ni Madam PGMA by rule of heirarchy. In fairness, I dont think that the president is aware of all these corruption in her administration. Its time we all must help her at isumbong sa hustisya ang mga tiwali. Wag naman sana i-blame lahat kay PGMA.

I found it in disbelief that besides all the timeframe put in by the three Honourable justices who have presided Erap’s case and found him guilty of plunder, some sectors in the society would like to pardon him. Pardon a man who squandered the nation’s coffer. This man always mention and uses the poor in his talk, the same man who instructed GSIS and SSS officials at the time of his presidency to buy shares of stock from Bellecorp in his own vested interest…. using people’s hard earned money to obtain his commission not by the hundreds or thousands but millions of pesos. No wonder Philippines nearly became like Argentina when he left Malacanang. Think of it million times before we feel sorry for this guy. Before you feel sorry for him, feel for our country first… WILL THIS MEAN ANY FUTURE AND PRESENT POLITICIANS IN THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL GOVT WHO COULD BE ON THE SAME SHOES AS ESTRADA ERAP WILL BE GIVEN PARDON AS WELL======IN THE NAME OF RECONCILIATION….We have short term memories kaya walang asenso ang bayan kasi puro awa.

You sum it up right Engr. Josh 22-this is simply about a popular official who was found corrupt -case closed -time to move on. Never mind the negative comments as most of those come from the very same people who were claiming before that all the allegations were baseless and now that the Sandiganbayan has handed down its decision they are still on denial.
I just want to give credit to the magistrates for their professionalism and resoluteness. Their collective judgment reflects their fair and prudent appraisal of all the arguments. rebuttals, testimonies and evidences presented by both the prosecution and defense panels. By focusing on the merits of the case alone they succesfully brought this trial to a just conclusion.
As for future evil-doers out there, hope that this verdict would put all of you on notice.

Kung totoong may utak si Merriam,kasi lagi nyang sinasabi yung rule of law mantra nya.Anong nangyari doon sa electoral petisyon nya laban kay among in Fidel?Galit lang yan kasi akala nya siya ang kukuning running mate ni late FPJ.How can you people believed in the saintly Singson,his a dubious guy and he have already accepted as such.Next time they must produce a witness with sound credivility.
