                    [Title] => Prosecutors want Estrada back in military hospital
                    [Summary] => Prosecutors moved yesterday to have deposed President Joseph Estrada sent back to the government-run hospital where he was previously detained, if indeed the ailing former leader is facing the risk of paralysis.


Chief Special Prosecutor Dennis Villa Ignacio pointed out before the anti-graft court that the jailed former leader really has no plans of leaving the country in order to undergo operation for his arthritic knees.

                    [Summary] => Jailed former President Joseph Estrada still wants to undergo knee surgery in the United States but is scouting for another surgeon in other countries because his American doctor is allegedly overcharging him.


Estrada, who is detained at an Army training camp in Tanay, Rizal, told the Sandiganbayan that he is negotiating to reduce the $1.2-million fee US surgeon Christopher Mow was charging him.

                    [Summary] => Ousted President Joseph Estrada will appear today before the Sandiganbayan special division to clarify whether he still intends to go to the United States on Jan. 23 for knee surgery.


"(The justices) are really confused over what he really wants," said lawyer Renato Bocar, special division spokesman.


"That’s the reason why he has been summoned to clarify, from his own mouth, what he really wants because he keeps on changing his declarations in the media," Bocar said.
