                    [Title] => Chavit ends Sandigan testimony
                    [Summary] => The sky’s the limit.


Former Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson intimated yesterday that jailed former President Joseph Estrada was an inveterate gambler who would indulge his inner circle of friends in limitless mahjong sessions.


Winding up his testimony at the trial of the plunder case against Estrada, Singson said the amount of money changing hands whenever they played mahjong usually ranged from P20 million to P50 million, with no predetermined playing time.

Singson, for many years the President’s drinking buddy who later became part of this unofficial Cabinet, plunged the administration into its worst crisis and made Joseph Estrada the first Asian leader to be impeached.

In a meeting of the Probinsya Muna Development Initiative or PROMDI the other day, opposition leaders said they will never subscribe to the idea of pardoning Mr. Estrada.


PROMDI vice chairman for the Visayas Winston Garcia, son of Gov. Pablo Garcia, said there will be no compromise with the President.
