                    [Summary] => A lawyer of deposed President Joseph Estrada has asked the Sandiganbayan to order the Senate legal counsel to present an envelope believed to contain bank documents proving that Estrada illegally amassed wealth during his presidency.

He allegedly stashed the proceeds in a secret bank account with Equitable PCI Bank under the name Jose Velarde. They say the account contained P3.2 billion at one point.

The vote of 11 senators rejecting the opening of the envelope for allegedly not being connected to the impeachment charges triggered people power II that eventually led to the ouster of Estrada.


His communication, however, was sent to the archives, the graveyard of the Senate.


"The impeachment trial is now dead," Sen. Raul Roco said.

Solicitor General Simeon Marcelo said yesterday Clarissa Ocampo, an executive of Equitable PCI Bank, will be the next witness in Estrada’s plunder trial at the Sandiganbayan special division.

                    [Summary] => Ousted President Joseph Estrada formally asked the Senate yesterday to open the second envelope containing details of the controversial Jose Velarde account with the Equitable PCI Bank.


The vote of 11 senators rejecting the opening of the envelope for allegedly not being connected to the impeachment charges triggered people power II that eventually led to the ouster of Estrada.


His communication, however, was sent to the archives, the graveyard of the Senate.


"The impeachment trial is now dead," Sen. Raul Roco said.
