    Joseph E. Estrada
    Joseph E. Estrada (born José Marcelo Ejército Sr.; April 19,
    1937) is a Filipino politician and former actor who served as
    the 13th President of the Philippines from 1998 to 2001, ninth
    Vice President of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998, and the
    26th Mayor of the City of Manila, the country's capital, from 2013
    to 2019. In 2001, he became the first president in Asia to be
    impeached from an executive role and resigned from power.
    Estrada gained popularity as a film actor, playing the lead role in
    over a hundred films in an acting career spanning some three
    decades, and model, who was started as a fashion and ramp model at the age of 13.
    He used his popularity as an actor to make gains in politics, serving as Mayor of San
    Juan from 1969 to 1986, as Senator from 1987 to 1992, then as Vice-President under
    President Fidel V. Ramos from 1992 to 1998.
    Estrada was elected President in 1998 with a wide margin of votes separating him from
    the other challengers, and was sworn into the presidency on June 30, 1998. In 2000 he
    declared an "all-out-war" against the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and captured its
    headquarters and other camps However, allegations of corruption spawned
    an impeachment trial in the Senate, and in 2001 Estrada was ousted by "People Power
    2" after the prosecution walked out of the impeachment court when the senator-judges
    voted "no" in the opening of the second envelope.
    Mayor of San Juan
    Estrada entered politics in 1967, running for mayor of San Juan, Metro Manila, then a
    municipality of Rizal, failing and only succeeding in 1969 after winning an electoral
    protest against Braulio Sto. Domingo. His administration was marked by unequaled
    accomplishments in infrastructure development. These included the establishment of
    the first Municipal High School, the Agora complex, a modern slaughterhouse, a
    sprawling government center with a post office, a mini-park and the paving of 98
    percent of the town's roads and alleys.

    Senator of the Philippines


    In the Senate, Estrada was credited with the passage of, among other major pieces of legislation,
    the bills on irrigation project and the protection and propagation of carabaos, the beast of burden in
    the rural areas.
    As a senator, he was one of the so-called "Magnificent 12" who voted to terminate the RP-US
    Military Bases Agreement leading to the withdrawal of American servicemen from the Clark Air
    Base in Pampanga and the Subic Naval Base in Zambales.
    President of the Philippines

    Estrada was the first president to use a special name as his official address name,
    combining his real family name, Ejercito, with his screen name, thus forming "Joseph
    Ejercito Estrada". Estrada was inaugurated on June 30, 1998 in the historical town
    of Malolos in Bulacan province in paying tribute to the cradle of the First Philippine
    Republic. That afternoon the new president delivered his inaugural address at
    the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta. He assumed office amid the Asian Financial
    Crisis and with agricultural problems due to poor weather conditions, thereby slowing
    the economic growth to −0.6% in 1998 from a 5.2% in 1997. The economy recovered by
    3.4% in 1999 and 4% in 2000.
