Former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada, in what he calls “destiny” steps again in the confines of the Presidential Palace yesterday, after almost 9 years since his ouster, to attend a National Security Meeting upon an invitation from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Among those present in the meeting were the seven-man team commissioned by PGMA to help the Armed Forces and the Philippine National Police to dismantle private armies and ensure security of the coming automated elections.
Attendees in yesterday’s meeting included Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, Vice President Noli de Castro, Senators Aquilino Pimentel and Rodolfo Biazon. Former President Fidel V. Ramos has been included in the advisory council but according to Cabinet Secretary Silvestre Bello, the invitation for Ramos came too late.
