MANILA, Philippines — Sen. JV Ejercito expressed on Monday sadness over the arrest of his brother and co-senator, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, adding that “justice will prevail.”

Estrada surrendered to the Philippine National Police earlier on the same day, following an arrest warrant for plunder issued by the Sandiganbayan

“Of course, as a brother and colleague, I also feel sad for him and his family, but as a public servant, we need the law to move forward,” he told reporters.
