MANILA — Just like Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., his co-accused in the alleged pork barrel scam, Senator Jinggoy Estrada also refused to enter any plea to the plunder charges filed against him on Monday.<\/p>\n

In his stead, the Sandiganbayan’s Fifth Division entered the “not guilty” plea for Estrada during his arraignment.<\/p>\n

Estrada was charged with 11 counts of graft charges for allegedly receiving millions of ‘pork’ kickbacks from the alleged pork barrel scam mastermind, Janet Lim-Napoles.<\/p>\n

Last week, Estrada’s co-accused and co-senator, Revilla, also refused to enter during the arraignment of his plunder and 16 counts of graft cases filed by the Office of the Ombudsman.<\/p>\n

Prosecution’s amendment to Estrada’s charge sheet was earlier withdrawn because of the possibility of the senator’s release.<\/p>\n

Though the prosecution insisted that most of the changes were only formal and not substantial, the planned amendment was still withdrawn.<\/p>\n

During his arraignment, Estrada was with his parents, former senator Loi\u00a0Ejercito-Estrada and former president and now Manila Mayor Joseph\u00a0Estrada.<\/span><\/p>\n

His wife\u00a0\u00a0Precy and brother Jude, were also present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
