SEN. LACSON'S STATEMENT ON FORMER
PRESIDENT ESTRADA'S 'FORGIVENESS'

I thank him but I am not asking for forgiveness. I believe I am doing our country a great service by telling our people what kind of a president he was.

He is essentially good and charismatic as a person. I have no doubt about it. But he should leave leading the country to someone better than him. Our country deserves it.

If he shows some compunction, he also deserves to be forgiven.
