GOV. ER EJERCITO is just very quiet but he has already completed a movie about the Mamasapano Massacre in Mindanao, titled “SAF 44”. This means he has gone way ahead in filming this kind of project that is now also being made into a movie by Dir. Brillante Mendoza starring Piolo Pascual and Christopher de Leon no less. But ER won’t reveal yet the details of his cast.
“Malaki kasi ang chance na kunin ito ng NETFLIX,” he says. “So wala munang details, but yung other movies ko like ‘Asiong Salonga’, ‘Boy Golden’, nabili na nila, including the Pres. Emilio Aguinaldo movie na mas malaki ang ibinayad nila. Basta yung ‘SAF 44’, we based it on true facts and shows kung ano ang involvement ng then Pres. Noynoy Aquino in that tragic incident.”
ER is now running as Governor of Laguna but some folks say he’s been disqualified. “That’s not true,” he says. “Yan ang ikinakalat at gustong mangyari ng mga kalaban ko, lalo na si Ramil Hernandez na vice governor ko noon at siyang ipinalit sa akin ni Noynoy nang alisin niya ako sa puwesto dahil daw sa campaign overspending. Pero fake news yan at gawa-gawa lang ng mga nangha-harrass sa akin. I’ve already filed a motion for reconsideration sa Sandigan Bayan. Yung graft case na ibinibintang nila sa’kin ngayon, 2010 pa yan, the same case, at matagal ng dismissed yan ng Ombudsman pero nire-revive na naman nila. Black propaganda lang yan.”
His opponents do this to mislead his voters. “Kasi nga, ang totoo, laging ako ang number one and I lead all the surveys in the Laguna gubernatorial race. And I’m officially endorsed by Pres. Rodrigo Duterte at ng daughter niyang si Mayor Sarah Duterte-Carpio ng Hugpong ng Pagbabago. Alam naman kasi ng mga taga-Laguna na kahit naalis ako sa puwesto, naging patuloy ang pagseserbisyo ko sa kanila.”
His whole family wants to serve Laguna sincerely. “Ang misis kong si Maita, mayor ng Pagsanjan, last term na niya at kumakandadito after her ang anak naming si John Paul, who’s 30 years old, halos kaedad ni Janella na anak ni Sen. Jinggoy Estrada na tumatakbo naman as mayor of San Juan. Alam na mga Laguna na tapat kami ng aking pamilya sa pagnanais naming makapaglingkod nang maayos sa kanila.”
