                    [Summary] => Senator-elect Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada dared the government yesterday to pursue the plunder case against him so he can prove his innocence in court.


"They should pursue it so I can defend myself," he said in a telephone interview.

"It will give me the opportunity to clear my name, the opportunity to prove that the charges against me are all fabricated."

Estrada said he is confident that the Supreme Court will not cancel his P500,000 bail despite the government’s move to have him return to jail.

He argued that there is no law that "wipes out" a criminal case against an accused if he is elected to public office.
