Somebody’s so happy that 2013 ended that he issued a statement about it.
“Noting how the number 13 has been particularly unlucky for his family, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada on Wedneday, Jan 1, issued a statement to express how happy he was to say goodbye to the past year — which he said was probably his worst as a politician since his father, the country’s 13th President, Joseph Estrada, was ousted in 2001 and convicted of plunder in 2007,” reports Norman Bordadora in the Philippine Daily Inquirer
“This year has been a very challenging time for me and my family. I, together with my two colleagues in the chamber, have been unfairly accused in connection with the so-called pork barrel scam,” Estrada said.
He even waxed superstitious when he pointed out that the number 13 was “especially controversy-laden, not only for [him] but for [all] the Estradas.”
