Comelec Second Division today (January 20,2010) allows Joseph "Erap" Estrada to run for president this coming May elections. It dismissed the case of disqualifcation filed by a certain Evelio Pormento. Under the ruling, Erap is not covered by the constitutional ban and may run, as he is not an incumbent president. And that his pardon restored all his civil and political rights.
Erap was present during the promulgation and was happy with the decision saying "It is is a victory of the Filipino people", and that decision might boost his popularity.
