Philippine Air Force (PAF) officials said yesterday at least two F-5 fighter planes are on 24-hour standby to intercept any aircraft that may attempt to sneak the deposed leader out of the country. 


PAF spokesman Col. Lino Horacio Lapi-nid presented three scenarios to deal with an aircraft that has Estrada on board.


"First, the fighter jets would scramble, intercept the target and order the pilot of the private aircraft to land," he said.

                    [Summary] => All President Estrada wants for Christmas is not his two front teeth, but his impeachment trial to end as soon as possible.


If he had his way, he would have preferred that he be acquitted before the Christmas holidays, but now that’s simply out of the question.


"My Christmas wish is that I hope this impeachment trial will be finished as soon as possible so that we will not prolong this feeling (of gloom), of course of our people, especially of families," the President said.
