In 1999 he announced plans to amend the constitution in order to remove protectionist provisions and attract more foreign investment.Late in 2000, Estrada’s presidency was buffeted by charges that he accepted millions of dollars in payoffs from illegal gambling operations. Although his support among the poor Filipino majority remained strong, many political, business, and church leaders called for him to resign. In Nov., 2000, Estrada was impeached by the house of representatives on charges of graft. Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was sworn in as Estrada’s successor. History

  11. One thing that I find interesting is how the Philippines aren’t wealthy country and there is poverty surrounding everyone. But they are so happy there and that is why a lot of people choose to stay there when given the chance to leave. • One thing I don’t like is how there are terrorists out there disturbing the peace. For example, there are terrorist bombings that are costing innocent lives. Opinion
