Malacañang on Thursday granted executive clemency to former President Joseph Estrada.
In a press conference, Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Thursday afternoon the executive clemency for Estrada.
Bunye said it is the administration's policy to release inmates who have reached the age of 70, and that Estrada has already served more than six years in detention while being tried for plunder.
The President's spokesman also noted that Estrada committed not to seek public office, in his application for pardon.
