Ombudsman Moves to Block Jinggoy Estrada’s Holiday Trips Amid Flood-Control Probe

Ombudsman Moves to Block Jinggoy Estrada’s Holiday Trips Amid Flood-Control Probe

December 02, 20253 min read

The Office of the Ombudsman has opposed Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s planned holiday vacations to Japan, Norway, Iceland, and Austria, saying the Sandiganbayan must exercise caution as Estrada remains under active investigation for his alleged involvement in the flood-control corruption scandal.

The Office of the Ombudsman has opposed

During a recent hearing, the Sandiganbayan’s Fifth Division noted Jinggoy’s motions to travel but required him to submit more documents detailing his itinerary, flight information, hotel bookings, and a sworn undertaking not to evade legal processes.

Senator Jinggoy Estrada’s planned holiday vacations

Prosecutor Leni Padaca argued that Estrada’s travel requests come at a time when he is not only facing trial over his 11 graft charges linked to the pork barrel scam but is also being scrutinized by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), which tagged him in its look-out bulletin for his alleged role in the flood-control kickback network.

Padaca told the court that allowing Estrada to fly abroad while under multiple probes undermines accountability:
“The court must take caution. The public is watching.”

Estrada has long denied wrongdoing, but the Ombudsman maintains that projects funded through his PDAF were “ghost” or fictitious — accusations previously tied to Janet Napoles and other personalities in the high-profile scam.

With flood-control anomalies now resurfacing and linked once again to familiar political names, the Ombudsman insists that any request to leave the country must be thoroughly vetted. The court is expected to rule on the travel motions once Estrada completes his submissions.

For now, Jinggoy’s holiday itinerary remains on hold — pending the courts, the investigators, and the growing controversy surrounding the country’s infrastructure corruption network.


“25 Billion Pesos, Isang Delivery? — Bakit Pag Duterte, Kulong; Pag Kaalyado ng Administrasyon, Tahimik?”

Nagpukol si Mike Defensor ng matinding pahayag na para bang sinampal ang konsensya ng gobyerno ngayon — kung meron pang kikiligin sa salitang “konsensya.”

A text-based quote from Mike Defensor discussing the contrast between past corruption cases involving Erap, GMA, VP Sara Duterte, and the current alleged 90-billion peso corruption scandal, including Zaldy Co’s claim of delivering 25 billion pesos to the President and House Speaker.

Habang paulit-ulit na sinisisi at tinitira ang mga Duterte sa isyu ng pondo, narito tayo ngayon sa higit 90 bilyong pisong “nawawala”… at isang delivery pa lang daw, 25 BILLION pesos na.

Kung ilalagay natin sa tamang konteksto ang kasaysayan, lumilitaw ang ganitong malinaw na pattern:

🔥 Historical Comparison ng Pagtrato sa “Corruption” Cases:

  • Erap Estrada:
    → Convicted dahil sa ₱130 MILLION
    → Nakulong.

  • Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo:
    → Kinasuhan dahil sa ₱366 MILLION PCSO intelligence fund
    → Nakulong; kalaunan ay na-acquit.

  • VP Sara Duterte:
    → Tinitira nang tinitira dahil sa ₱125 MILLION intel fund
    → Walang kaso; puro batikos at intriga lang.

  • Ngayon (under current admin):
    MAHIGIT ₱90 BILLION na ang nawawala.
    WALANG NAHUHULI. Walang nakakasuhan. Walang tumatanggap ng sisi.

💼 At ayon kay Zaldy Co sa kanyang video:

  • Siya raw mismo ang nag-deliver ng ₱25 BILLION

  • Hindi fake news, hindi tsismis — boses niya, mukha niya.

  • At ang recipient daw?
    PBBM at Martin Romualdez.

🦅 Dito papasok ang Pro-Duterte Truth:

  • Kapag Duterte → kulong, kaso, imbestigasyon, demolition job.

  • Kapag kaalyado ng Malacañang ngayon → tahimik ang media, tulog ang investigative bodies, at parang walang nakikitang anomalya.

“For the Lord loves justice and will not forsake His faithful ones.” – Psalm 37:28

Totoo — hindi forever ang pagtatakip, hindi habang buhay ang kapangyarihang walang pananagutan.
At ang mga taong ginagawang tanga ang sambayanan?
Darating ang araw nila.
