                    [Summary] => Former Bulacan Gov. Roberto Pagdanganan said yesterday he is preparing graft charges against Sen. Tessie Aquino-Oreta for failing to declare her P1-million balato that President Estrada allegedly gave her after a mah-jongg game two years ago.


"I don’t want my motives to be perceived as political, but the matter cannot be allowed to pass because it isn’t right," said Pagdanganan, who is eyeing to run for senator under the opposition Lakas-NUCD party.

Luis "Chavit" Singson’s accusations of corruption against President Estrada has been a golden opportunity for public exposure.

Giving more glimpses into President Estrada’s lifestyle, Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson claimed yesterday that Mr. Estrada once won P120 million in one of their many mah-jongg games aboard the presidential yacht.


And who were the other players in that game?

Senators Teresita Aquino-Oreta and John Osmeña returned two checks, each for P1.2 million, given to them by Singson and which they suspect was part of proceeds from illegal gambling operations.


Meanwhile, First Lady Luisa Ejercito denied receiving P20 million from jueteng money, as alleged by Singson.
