THE Sandiganbayan's Fifth Division started its trial of the graft cases filed against former Sen. Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada and several other individuals in connection with the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel scam.

Estrada told reporters in an interview that he was "happy at umuusad na rin kahit papaano 'yung trial after three long years and I hope that ma-fast track na itong aming kaso dahil medyo matagal na e. I'm hoping na ma-expedite lalo itong kaso (happy and the trial is finally somehow moving after three long years and I hope that our case will be fast-tracked because it’s been a long time already. I'm hoping that this case will be expedited further)."
