Palace says Estrada should be allowed to join 2010 race

SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga, Philippines?In a sudden turnaround, Malacañang on Tuesday said former president Joseph Estrada should be allowed to join the 2010 presidential elections.

?I?d rather not ... be technical about the candidacy of former President Estrada. I would adhere to the principle of salus populi suprema lex?the voice of the people is the supreme law,? Press Secretary Cerge Remonde told reporters here.

Remonde said it was better for such a ?political question to be decided by the people.?

Asked why the Palace seemed too confident to have the vastly popular Estrada in the presidential race, he said: ?It?s not a matter of confidence. It?s a matter of believing that that is what?s right.?
