Hi Aileen for me the verdict on Pres, Erap is unfair. I know a lots of people who are scholars of Erap. I may called it a frame up for Erap. But well, the court decides already but why reclusion perpetua? For me all governemnt officials are corrupt why intead of reclusion perpetua they would lower the penalty. He is not a killer, rapist and a murderer. I am a supporter of Erap because I know in my heart that he had help the poor. If you can still remember he is the one who lowered the fare in MRT so public can afford to ride on it. "dura lex sed lex" the law may be hars but it is the law but he doesnt deserve a reclusion perpetua penalty. :(

yeah if since he was sentenced to a life imprisonment its really unfair he should have given a lighter penalty... Erap serve the country from mayor to president and i know he had help so many Filipinos especially his sholars... how come that chavit was acquitted? even he was like a whistle blower.

Yes, Erap is a good man. He is pro-poor. The elite are against him because they cannot accept the fact that erap, an actor and a college dropout would command them all.

Yes, I also believe that he is a victim. Although, I'm not a pro-Erap, I also feel the same sentiments as yours. Why only Erap, why not all of them? The curent administration is more corrupt than him. No more hope for the Philippines.. =((
