Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted February 11, 2005 Estrada has not been very well of late. Here is a short update on his health: Estrada stable after health scare Former president Joseph Estrada's condition is improving and may stay at the Cardinal Santos Hospital in San Juan for four to five days to fully recover from a bout of pneumonia, his spokesman Didagen Dilangalen said Wednesday. "He's resting now. He didn't want to go to the hospital at first but he was prevailed upon to go," Dilangalen told DZMM's "Tambalang Failon and Sanchez" program. He added that Estrada will return to his Tanay villa as soon as his health improved. He said Estrada's condition deterioted for the past three days after suffering from fever and body pains. He said Estrada is recuperating from knee surgery he underwent in Hong Kong in December, but doctors said the fever was not necessarily related to the operation. Estrada is confined to room 617 and being personally attended to by Dr. Cecil Tady, head of the Pulmonary Medicine Division of the Cardinal Santos Medical Center. Ferdie Ramos, Estrada’s publicist, earlier said that laboratory tests showed one fourth of the former president’s right lung was in bad shape and his doctors advised his confinement. Dr. Lorenzo Jocson, Estrada's personal physician, said the former president had to be brought to hospital because there is no proper medical facility in Tanay or at his villa. Estrada’s son, Senator Jinggoy, said the chilly temperature in Tanay, Rizal made his father sick. abs-cbnNEWS.com/DZMM If you are not familiar with ex-Filippino rulers, have a read of this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1063976.stm I don't think an ex-leader of the Philippines will fail the famousity test.

Terminator 13 Posted February 11, 2005 He's not having much luck. Didn't he fall of a bike while filming the 1980s TV series "CHiPs" and they thought he might not pull through back then? I think he was "Ponch" (Ponchinello). The lad's obviously done well for himself......Pres and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,648 Posted April 26, 2021 Old Filipino politicians seem to never die. Estrada and Cesar Virata (Marcos's former Prime Minister, b. 1930) both survived COVID (plus Virata also survived a stroke in April 2020), Fidel V. Ramos is alive and healthy and that damn Imelda Marcos hasn't died yet either. Marcos's Trade and Industry Minister Roberto Ongpin looks horrible and Defence Minister Juan Ponce Enrile is getting near 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
