GMA offers Pardon for former president Estrada

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo recently has offered a pardon for former president Joseph Estrada. But will the former president accept this pardon to be able to go back to his life?

To accept the offer would mean that he has lowered his pride and indirectly admitted his involvement in graft and corruption. Would he sacrifice this just to get back to the life he enjoyed back then? If I were him, and I know that I have done nothing wrong at all, I would never give in to the offer. It's another plot of the president to turn all the blame to Mr. Estrada, as well as get the sympathy of the opposition and all of Estrada's supporters. That would give her more power, now, wouldn't it?

Just a thought, but we'll know soon if Estrada is guilty of the crime.
