I’m not with them -- Erap
FORMER president Joseph Estrada said he was not affiliated with the rebel soldiers who took over a Makati hotel yesterday and called for the resignation of President Gloria Arroyo.

Estrada said he did not know what the agenda was of the troops who were behind the rebellion.

“I don’t know their agenda,” he told reporters adding he had not spoken to either of the purported leaders, Sen. Antonio Trillanes or Brigadier General Danilo Lim.

“I’m not with them,” Estrada said.

Other prominent opposition figures and Arroyo critics also said they were not connected with the latest challenge to the embattled president, who has fought off coups and impeachment attempts in the past.

The leftist New Nationalist Alliance (Bayan), which is widely suspected of ties to communist guerrillas issued a statement of support for Trillanes.

“We understand and sympathize with the grievances and issues being raised,” it said. “We warn the Arroyo administration against using violence or other repressive measures to resolve the stand-off.” AFP
