ROMMEL PADILLA SURRENDERS, JAILED

Pasig City, June 3, 1998 - Rommel Padilla finally surrendered
yesterday, 12 days after he was sentenced in absentia to 8 years in
prison for illegal possession of firearms.

Judge Esperanza Fabon-Victorino of the Pasig Regional Trial Court,
who sentenced him last May 20, immediately ordered his detention at
the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinglupa.

Judge Victorino, who was herself a popular movie star and singer in
the 70s, denied the motion of Padilla's lawyers for the actor's
temporary liberty. She cited his violation of the conditions for his
bail, and for not appearing in court despite due notice. Also
weighing heavily against the motion for bail was Rommel's fugitive
status when he went into hiding shortly before he was sentenced.

Rommel was accompanied by younger brother Robin Padilla, who himself
served three years in Muntinglupa for a similar offense and was
released only last April. Also with Rommel was fellow actor George
Estregan, brother of President-elect Joseph Estrada.

You are feeding a wrong information about this one. George Estregan, the
brother of Joseph Estrada, already passed away several years ago. You are
probably referring to Jorge Estregan which is a nephew of Joseph (I don't
know if he is the son of George).
