    Fidel Ramos and Joseph Estrada

    Joeriz Apuada Simbillo


    • Gen. Fidel Valdez Ramos, AFP CCLH GCMG,
    popularly known as FVR and Eddie, is a retired
    Filipino general and politician who served as
    the 12th President of the Philippines from
    1992 to 1998.
    • He was born on March 18, 1928, Lingayen,
    Philippines. Military leader and politician who
    was president of the Philippines from 1992 to
    1998. He was generally regarded as one of the
    most effective presidents in that nation’s
    history.
    • Ramos was educated at the U.S. Military
    Academy at West Point, N.Y., and at the
    University of Illinois, U.S. He then entered the
    Philippine army, serving in Korea and Vietnam.
    In 1972 President Ferdinand Marcos (who was
    Ramos’ second cousin) appointed him chief of
    the Philippine Constabulary, and when Marcos
    imposed martial law later that year Ramos
    was responsible for enforcing it; the
    Constabulary arrested thousands of political
    dissidents. In 1981 Ramos became deputy
    • After the presidential elections of 1986, in
    which Marcos claimed victory despite
    allegations of large-scale electoral fraud,
    Ramos and defense minister Juan Ponce Enrile
    supported Marcos’ opponent, Corazon
    Aquino. Their defection sparked the civilian
    “People Power” movement that forced
    Marcos into exile. During Aquino’s presidency
    Ramos served as military chief of staff (1986–
    88) and secretary of national defense (1988–
    • Ramos was elected to succeed Aquino in May
    1992. As president he purged the national
    police force of corrupt officers; encouraged
    family-planning practices to curb the growth
    of the country’s population; and liberalized
    the Philippines’ heavily protected economy in
    order to spur economic growth. Ramos’
    governing coalition won a decisive victory in
    congressional elections held in 1995, midway
    through his six-year term as president.
    • His administration reached peace agreements
    with two long-active guerrilla insurgencies,
    the communist New People’s Army and the
    Muslim separatists of the Moro National
    Liberation Front.
    • He meanwhile continued his efforts to
    deregulate major industries that were
    dominated by a handful of large companies
    and to improve the government’s inefficient
    tax-collection system.
    • These reforms helped revitalize the
    Philippines’ economy, which emerged from
    years of stagnation to grow at a rapid rate in
    1994–97. The country was thus able to
    weather a severe business downturn that
    crippled national economies across Southeast
    Asia in 1998. Ramos was constitutionally
    restricted to one term as president, which
    ended in June 1998.
    • Joseph E. Estrada or also known as "Erap" won
    the presidency overwhelming victory in 1998.
    Unlike Ramos who was elected as minority
    president, Estrada garnered almost 40 percent
    of the total votes.
    • However, Estrada's presidency was cut short in
    2001 while he was on impeachment trial for
    charges of bribery and graft and corruption.
    He was known for his title as the "jueteng
    lord" .
    • The impeachment trial was never concluded
    with a final verdict by the senate.
    • The aborted impeachment case and the
    walkout were seen to be the final cues for
    huge public protests that led to the People
    Power 2 uprising in January 2001 that
    consequently ousted him from his position
    and succeeded by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
    • Also in the same year, he was charged and
    tried with plunder, arrested, and detained at
    his rest house in Tanay, Rizal.
    • The following month, Estrada was pardoned
    by President Arroyo.
    • He won the presidency capitalizing on his
    popularity as a movie actor and with strong
    populist rhetoric that was captured by his
    campaign slogan, "Erap para sa "Masa" or
    "Erap for the poor"
    • Erap is his famous nickname.
