A dramatic episode in the failed impeachment trial of ousted President Joseph Estrada will be virtually re-enacted at today’s resumption of his trial for plunder before the Sandiganbayan.


Clarissa Ocampo, former senior vice president and trust officer of Equitable PCIBank, will take the witness stand anew to testify that Estrada and the mysterious "Jose Velarde" are one and the same person.
