impeachment
joseph estrada, commonly known as "erap", became famous as a film actor from 1956 to 1989, starring in hundreds of movies and even founding the celebrated annual metro manila film festival. his popularity as an actor obviously served him well in his venture in politics starting in 1969 when he was elected mayor of san juan city and eventually rising to the highest office in the nation as the 13th president of the philippines in 1998. erap assumed office during the asian financial crisis and his administration was marred by various controversies. his term in office was consequently cut short when he was accused of graft and corruption and underwent an impeachment trial in 2001. however, before the trial was even concluded, he was ousted from office by the second second people power revolution. he was charged with plunder and was found guilty with a sentence of lifetime imprisonment making him the first philippine president to get impeached and convicted.
