[Title] => Erap: I was too confident
[Summary] => Deposed President Joseph Estrada confirmed yesterday that he had advance warning from confessed US spy Leandro Aragoncillo as early as December 2000 that his then Vice President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was plotting to oust him, but he was confident that they would fail.
"That’s true. But I did not give it weight. I was confident that EDSA II would not happen," Estrada told The STAR in a telephone interview, referring to the military-backed popular uprising that toppled him in January 2001.
