RP to benefit from
WB, UN campaign |

The Philippines is embroiled in
efforts to recover the ill-gotten wealth of deposed strongman

former president Joseph Ejercito Estrada for plunder, and government
agencies are being readied to seize assets supposedly generated from
Estrada’s profits from plunder.
