MANILA: A Philippine senator who is the son of a former president surrendered to police on Monday after a court ordered his arrest over a charge that he received illicit payouts as part of an infrastructure scandal that sparked public protests last year. The anti-graft court ordered the arrest of Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada for plunder, a non-bailable offense under Philippine laws. The Office of the Ombudsman last week charged Estrada with violating anti-corruption laws for earning “kickbacks” amounting to 573 million pesos ($9.3 million).
