Justice Secretary-on leave Hernando Perez said yesterday he was opposed to the idea of allowing jailed former President Joseph Estrada to spend the holiday season at home.


"We have objected to putting him under house arrest. That was our position and we said that there is only one law for the rich and the poor," Perez told the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines.


Government prosecutors have also resisted the proposal to put Estrada under house arrest "in the spirit of Christmas."
