INQUIRER FILE PHOTO MANILA, Philippines – The Sandiganbayan Fifth Division has inhibited itself from the plunder and graft charges of Senator Jinggoy Estrada related to the pork barrel scam. In a letter dated December 10 addressed to Presiding Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang, the division said it was inhibiting due to personal reasons. “May we request for our refusal in the above-indicated criminal cases for personal reasons,” said the letter signed by Division Chair Associate Justice Roland Jurado, and members Associate Justices Alexander Gesmundo and Ma. Theresa Dolores Gomez-Estoesta. The division had been hearing the bail proceedings of Estrada from plunder. Estrada faces plunder and graft charges before the court for his alleged involvement in the purported diversion of his Priority Development Assistance Funds to ghost projects. Estrada is detained at the Philippine National Police Custodial Center with fellow accused Senator Ramon Revillla Jr. Meanwhile, Senator Juan Ponce Enrile is under hospital detention also for plunder.
