BIOGRAPHY
Original name: Joseph Ejercito
Born on April 19, 1937 in Manila, Philippines
Estrada entered the Mapua Institute of Technology with the intention
of following in his father’s footsteps — his father was a government
engineer.
Estrada eventually dropped out to become a film actor, causing a
dispute in the family.
Forbidden by his parents to use the family name, he adopted the
screen name Erap Estrada.
BIOGRAPHY
In 1968 Estrada entered politics, successfully running for the mayorship of
the Manila suburb of San Juan, a post he retained until 1986.
In 1969 he was elected to the Senate.
In 1992 he ran for vice president on the National People’s Coalition ticket.
Although the party’s presidential candidate, Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr., lost the
election to Fidel Ramos, Estrada won the vice presidential contest.
In 1998, Estrada ran for president in the Philippines, facing opposition from
Ramos, House Speaker José de Venecia, and businessmen. He won nearly
40% of the vote, the largest in a free election in the country's history.
However, a corruption scandal in 2000 led to his ouster in 2001.

In 2007, he was convicted of plundering and sentenced to 40 years in
prison.
In 2009, he announced his candidacy for president, but was defeated in
the 2010 elections by Benigno S. Aquino III. Estrada's tenure was short-lived
due to corruption scandals and his subsequent pardon by Arroyo.
In 2013 Estrada ran for mayor of Manila and defeated the incumbent,
Alfredo Lim. After taking office later that year, he faced a number of issues,
notably the city’s debt and inability to pay for basic services. In order to
raise revenue, he sharply raised property taxes.
Estrada faced a serious challenge from Lim in the 2016 race but narrowly
won reelection. He ran for a third term in 2019 but was defeated.

BACKWARD NEVER.”

TAX REFORMS
Under President Estrada's administration, Beethoven Rualo was
appointed as Commissioner of Internal Revenue, leading to reforms to
enhance voluntary compliance and productivity.
The Economic Recovery Assistance Payment (ERAP) Program was
implemented, providing immunity from audit and investigation to
taxpayers who paid 20% more than 1997.
The raffle promo "Humingi ng Resibo, Manalo ng Libo-Libo" was
established to educate consumers about tax compliance. Dakila
Fonacier was appointed as Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
prioritizing measures to enhance taxpayer compliance and deter tax
violations.
TAX REFORMS
The Large Taxpayers Service (LTS) and
Excise Taxpayers Service (ETS) were
established to reinforce tax administration
and enforcement capabilities.
The Bureau implemented a Full Integrated
Tax System (ITS) Rollout Acceleration
Program to facilitate tax computerization
in operations.
“WOMB TO TOMB”
PROJECTS
If there is any centerpiece program that Manila Mayor
Joseph Estrada wants to continue in his last and third
term, it is the "womb to tomb" projects that benefit
hundreds of thousands of city residents.
The "womb to tomb" program refers to Erap's service
from the birth of a child until the death of a being.
Manila is facing a dire situation with inadequate
hospitals, inadequate medical care, and poor
patient care.
“WOMB TO TOMB”
PROJECTS
Mayor Erap aims to address this by implementing a
"womb to tomb" program, which focuses on senior
citizens and provides P100,000 for their 100th
birthday
The city also offers free funerals and assistance to
families, thanks to a modern columbarium built by
Mayor Estrada. The city's bankruptcy and lack of
funds make it difficult to address these issues.
