Jude Pimentel Ejercito Estrada (born September 28, 1977) is a Filipino Air Force reserve colonel[1] and former actor.

The youngest son of former president Joseph Estrada with Loi Ejercito, Jude briefly ventured into acting in the 1990s.

After his father was arrested on April 25, 2001, for plunder, he was a participant of the pro-Estrada rallies in EDSA Shrine that lead to the May 1 riots near Malacañang Palace.

Life and career

In the 1990s, Jude Estrada briefly followed his father Joseph Estrada's career path by being an actor in the film industry.

For a time, Estrada was sent off in the United States, coming back to the Philippines by the time his father was president in 1998.[2] By 1999, Estrada was a captain of the Philippine Air Force.[3]

After his father was deposed from the presidency by EDSA II in January 2001 and replaced by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Jude clarified that his allegiance as a reserve captain of the Philippine Air Force would now shift away from his father and to Arroyo, stating that "as a soldier, I am loyal to the commander-in-chief, no matter who they are."[4] Despite this, after the Sandiganbayan arrested both his father and brother Jinggoy Estrada on April 25 for plunder, Jude participated in the pro-Estrada demonstrations at EDSA Shrine that protested the arrest. The rallies he attended were soon followed by the May 1 riots initiated by rallyists marching from the shrine to Malacañang Palace, which he and his half-brother JV Ejercito joined but left before the march reached Mendiola Street near the palace.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

On June 2, 2008, Estrada married his childhood neighbor and long-time girlfriend Maria Rowena "Weng" Ocampo in Forbes Park, Makati.[10] [11] [12]
