A P90,000 bail posted by Sen. Jinggoy Estrada on Friday kept him out of jail for a graft case in the Sandiganbayan’s Second Division, which ordered his arrest following charges filed by the Office of the Ombudsman.
While this court’s Division processed the bailable graft case, no immediate arrest order was issued by the Fifth Division for the more severe, nonbailable charge of plunder.
