since his controversial release, former president joseph estrada hasn’t been that visible to the public. probably pondering endlessly (yeah, sure!) on what worthwhile employment, activity, or advocacy to immerse himself into, here are some of my suggestions:

run for public office. accepting the pardon was such a big mistake for erap. the timing would have been perfect. had he not been freed, I am sure he would have won as barangay captain of the national bilibid prisons in muntinlupa in the recent elections, hands down!

write (?) a book. erap has led a full and colorful life. millions will therefore be interested to read and find out the juicy details of his past, and his plans for the future. some even consider him a guru of sorts (don’t know why but there are misguided souls out there), giving advice about something he’s an expert at. let’s start with “plunder for dummies”. wow, that’s a great title! and very appropriate for him, in more ways than one.

go back to show business. I’ve mentioned this in a previous post. I’ve even suggested a few movie projects, like “kasal, kasalo, kaso”, chronicling his philandering life and incarceration. or a recording artist perhaps? why not? if willie revillame and manny pacquiao can, anybody can! for starters, a remake of that marco sison classic “si aida, o si lorna, o si fe” with the title “si laarni o si guia o si loi”, or his version of the old love song, “sana labindalawa ang puso ko”! he he he.

start a new family. he’s been incarcerated for such a long time that I’m sure he’s itching for a new love! he may be pushing 70 (?) but as they say, there’s always a tenth time! ha ha ha! how many are there? I’ve lost count.

go into product endorsements. big name celebrities are in such high demand for ads nowadays and I’m sure advertising firms will strangling each other for his services. products? rat poison, muriatic acid, toilet paper, some pest control chemicals or even a laxative! LOL. isn’t he just appropriate?

be a superhero! continue his work as ROBBING HOOD, together with his sidekicks super junggoy and super penoy! fighting for corruption and kickbacks in juetengland, all disguised as champions of the poor and oppressed. but now fighting alongside erstwhile nemesis, the small but definitely terrible wonder glo!

go into blogging! why not? he has so many jokes to tell, intentional or otherwise. but is he (computer) literate? he he. I’m sure his monitor will be covered in liquid paper correction fluid in no time! ha ha ha!

get involved with charity work. he and his camp are always babbling about their concern for the poor (do the poor know he’s one of the causes of their poverty?), why not let him prove it. i’m sure he will end up working charity alright, like charity gonzales, charity de leon, charity lopez or any other girl named charity! ha ha ha.

apply in foreign service. as a former president, vice-president and senator, no one would dare question such qualifications for a diplomatic assignment. add to this his term as mayor of san juan for __ years and he’ll surely have no trouble convincing the powers that be at the department of foreign affairs to appoint him as an ambassador (read: exile) to some god-forsaken african country, siberia or antarctica perhaps? how about the moon, or even the sun? too hot? he’ll go there at night, stupid!

go back to jail. now this, I think (as well as millions out there), is the best option. do the right thing, pay for your sins against society! and stop blabbering about that “I am innocent” rant, no one believes you anyway!
