Former senator Jinggoy Estrada denied yesterday the accusation by San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora that he distributed money to the city residents, saying he gave away bangus or milkfish. “We have been giving away free bangus for the past two weeks galing sa fishpond ng mommy ko. Sa sobrang dami ng bangus, sabi ng mommy ko ipamigay na lang sa mahihirap,” Estrada said in an interview on ABS-CBN News. “What money is he talking about? Bangus lang ang ipinamigay ko, pagkain na kailangan ng mga tao.” He lambasted Zamora for trying to stop him from helping the residents.
