In love na naman si Shirley

Nakaayos palagi ang buhok niya
Lumulutang sa ulap pag naglalakad sa kalye.

Embezzlement
Estrada was born Joseph Ejercito in San Juan on April 19, 1937. Contrary to the popular notion that he tasted poverty, Estrada, a son of a government contractor, lived relatively well-off. After being expelled from the Ateneo de Manila in his younger years, he enrolled in an Engineering course at the Mapua Institute of Technology, eventually dropping out to pursue an acting carreer.
He starred in about 100 films, the most popular of which was "Asiong Salonga", a movie about a modern day Robin Hood born in Tondo. From then, Estrada embraced the image of a tough hero who was ready to fight the rich and powerful for the sake of the poor. But he had a contender in this role, Fernando Poe Jr. who became his friend and gave him the nickname "Erap", the inverted pronunciation of the word "Pare" (loosely: "Friend").
As a movie celebrity, Estrada had himself surrounded by many beautiful women, aside from her wife Loi Ejercito. Among these women were Nora Aunor, Guia Gomez, Joy Melendrez and Laarni Enriquez. There were more who claimed they had a relationship with him.

Political career
San Juan MAyor- 1969-1986
Estrada ran for mayor of San Juan, a municipality of Metro Manila, in 1968 and ended up losing the contest. He was only proclaimed mayor in 1969, after winning an electoral protest against Dr. Braulio Sto. Domingo.
Senator- 1987-1992
When Corazon Aquino assumed the presidency in 1986, all officials of the local government suspected of malfeasance and anomalies were removed and replaced by appointed officers-in-charge. Estrada was then removed from his position as mayor. The following year, he ran and won a seat in the Senate under his own party, Partido ng Masang Pilipino.
Vice-President of the Philippines
In 1987, he became a senator and, five years later, vice-president.
President of the Philippines=30-Jun-1998 to 20-Jan-2001
In 1998, he was mainly responsible for carrying a unified opposition party (LAMP) to victory with the support of movie celebrities like Fernando Poe Jr. and Nora Aunor and the trust and loyalty of then Supt. Panfilo Lacson, whom he later appointed as the police chief.
On May 11, 1998, Joseph ("Erap") Estrada, a former star of B movies, was elected president of the Philippines. Despite lacking the support of outgoing president Fidel Ramos, the country's business community, and the influential Roman Catholic Church, Estrada captured nearly 40% of the vote, handily defeating his nearest rival, House Speaker José de Venecia, who garnered only 15.9%. The margin of victory was the largest in a free election in the history of the Philippines. He was officially declared president by Congress on May 29.
President Joseph Estrada assumed the presidency on July 1, 1998 with a promise to improve the lives of the poor Filipinos.
Enjoying an entertainment-based popularity and a chauvinistic charisma, Estrada easily won the 1998 presidential elections over traditional politicians and became the 13th president. While his English did not come in handy, the former movie actor always had candid Filipino rebuttals to every criticism by his political rivals.
"Huwag ninyo akong subukan!" and "Walang kai-kaibigan!" were just among his quotable phrases, which received the cheers of the Filipino masses. When he organized his government and began business with the old Marcos cronies, it became apparent that he meant the opposite.
The Estrada administration saw the meteoric rise to power of Lucio Tan and Danding Cojuangco, arguably the richest men in the country today. Tan won his P25-billion tax evasion case against the government, wrested control of the Philippine Airlines, and acquired the Philippine National Bank (PNB). Cojuangco, on the other hand, obtained the majority share in San Miguel Corporation, the country's richest company.
As president, Estrada blamed the Ramos administration for the weak economy he inherited. So, he tapped the expertise and managerial skills of experienced economists to pump up the economy, but to no avail. Businessmen and foreign investors began to lose their trust in the new administration, with the entry of the president's friends, mostly big Chinese tycoons.
The Fall of Estrada
The problems of the Estrada administration reached a crescendo in 2000. Bugged by the intensifying insurgency in Mindanao and a series of natural and man-made calamities nationwide, the new administration poorly restored hope of a bright future. Then came the BW Resources anomaly, which Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Perfecto Yasay blamed on the president.
In October, Ilocos Sur Governor Luis "Chavit" Singson, a former friend and close ally of the president, exposed that the president received about P500 million from jueteng kickbacks and excise tax from the Ilocos region. Corruption charges against the president ensued which spawned the dramatic passage of the Articles of Impeachment by the House of Representatives led by Speaker Manuel Villar on November 13.
The Senate then convened itself as an Impeachment tribunal and began the process on December 7. The House prosecutors presented more than 30 witnesses, mostly women, who testified that the president was involved in several irregular transactions. One witness, Clarissa Ocampo, a senior vice-president of Equitable-PCI Bank, claimed he saw the president affix a different signature, Jose Velarde, on a multi-million Peso bank transaction.
The defense panel, composed of the brightest lawyers in the country, and the majority party senator-judges, questioned the materiality and relevance of Ocampo's testimony. Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilario Davide ruled that Ocampo's testimony would only be considered if the prosecution panel could prove that the multi-million bank account came from irregular transactions.
On January 16, the House prosecutors were about to establish the missing link by opening an envelope, which they claimed would prove that the president had amassed P3.3 billion in ill-gotten wealth, when 11 senator-judges voted not to open the envelope. This prodded Senate President Aquilino Pimentel to resign, the House prosecutors and complainants to walk out, and the viewing public to storm to the historic intersection of EDSA and Ortigas in Mandaluyong City - the start of the 5-day People Power 2 at EDSA, that would force President Joseph Estrada to leave office.
Former Presidents Fidel Ramos and Corazon Aquino, Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin, students, office workers, activists, lay people, laborers, politicians and celebrities joined the furious crowd in asking for the resignation of the president. On January 18, Nora Aunor stunned everyone when she joined the rally, publicly admitting her previous relationship with the president, and called him a woman-beater. The following day, Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado, Interior and Local Government Secretary Alfredo Lim, the military generals, and the police officers withdrew their support from the president, as foretold by former President Ramos.
In the morning of January 19, the president was guided out of Malacanang by Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Angelo Reyes to give way to a new president, a woman. Vice-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo took his oath as the 14th president before Chief Justice Davide at noontime. She formally began her term in office on January 22, the same day the new US President George Bush was inaugurated at the White House.
At present, Estrada is back to the arms of his legitimate wife. One of his mistresses, Laarni Enriquez, flew to Hong Kong during the heat of the Impeachment trial. His friends like Lacson, Charlie Ang, Jaime Dichaves, and Nora Aunor also abandoned him. Much worse, one of his alleged illegitimate daughters, Josephine Rose Ejercito, said his father deserved what he got.
The Arroyo administration is preparing criminal charges against Estrada. The president said he was ready to face the music and prove his innocence. Ironically, he claimed that the controversial second envelope, which triggered the People Power 2, should have been opened in the first place.

Embezzlement
Estrada was born Joseph Ejercito in San Juan on April 19, 1937. Contrary to the popular notion that he tasted poverty, Estrada, a son of a government contractor, lived relatively well-off. After being expelled from the Ateneo de Manila in his younger years, he enrolled in an Engineering course at the Mapua Institute of Technology, eventually dropping out to pursue an acting carreer.
He starred in about 100 films, the most popular of which was "Asiong Salonga", a movie about a modern day Robin Hood born in Tondo. From then, Estrada embraced the image of a tough hero who was ready to fight the rich and powerful for the sake of the poor. But he had a contender in this role, Fernando Poe Jr. who became his friend and gave him the nickname "Erap", the inverted pronunciation of the word "Pare" (loosely: "Friend").
As a movie celebrity, Estrada had himself surrounded by many beautiful women, aside from her wife Loi Ejercito. Among these women were Nora Aunor, Guia Gomez, Joy Melendrez and Laarni Enriquez. There were more who claimed they had a relationship with him.

RIVERMAYA
And can I be pissed and you cool?
And can you be fire and me ice?
And can we be Wolverine and Bambi?
And if I should drown, will you smile?
Well, if you'd be guillotined that's nice,
I'm laughing so hard, you'll think I'm Satan
There certainly ain't no future,
like one and one and one ain't three
There's apes in my pillow,
clowns in your Electric Spanish fly tea.

RIVERMAYA-WILD ANGEL
WILD ANGEL
RIVERMAYA
Spare me words of wisdom
it won't change the truth
There's a hole in your head
and The devil's in your shoes
Thursday gave me freedom
from the psycho-saving art
Monday showed you someone
could tear your pride apart
I don't need no Wild angel candy
Wild angel candy, can't take (it/you) no more
Save your words of wisdom
it don't change the truth
There's a whore in your bed
and your pride don't fit in your boots
Thursday gave me freedom
from my baby-sitting part
Monday showed you someone
could tear your soul apart.

RIVERMAYA-SUNOG
SUNOG
RIVERMAYA
Layon nga kaya
Ng isang kandila
Ang akitin ka
Sa liwanag
Muling nag-iisa
Nasan ang mga huwaran?
Kasama ba silang
Matutunaw?
Wala si nanay, wala si tatay,
Nasusunog ang bahay!!!
Wala si nanay, wala si tatay,
Nasusunog ang bahay!!!
Nais niyang bumatak ng
Isang nakaraan
Maliligayang araw na ‘di na matatagpuan
Bumibilissssssssss
Lumilipaaaaaaaad
Ganyan lang ba ang paraan?
Wala bang kakatok sa may pintuan?
Tanging kadiliman ang taglay nitong tahanan
Siyang huling liwanag ngayong gabi’y lilisan…

RIVERMAYA-THE PRICES OF DISGUISES
THE PRICES OF DISGUISES
RIVERMAYA
And she'll say she'll
Make you feel allright
And she'll say she'll love you
More than life
Like a living fairy tale
You've got to believe her
So behold
The greatest show on earth
Ladies and gentlemen
The Princess of disguise
And she don't love you for
Just your money
(Money don't turn her on at all)
Funny, when i lie i feel so funny
(Funny, i feel that today)
Like a modern heart attack is
How much you need her
So put your hands together
The princess has arrived.

RIVERMAYA-HINAHANAP-HANAP KITA
HINAHANAP-HANAP KITA
RIVERMAYA
Verse 1:
"adik sayo"
awit sa akin
nilang sawa na saking
mga kwentong marathon
tungkol sayo at sa ligayang
iyong hatid sa aking buhay
tuloy ang bida sa isipan
ko'y ikaw......
Chorus:
sa umaga't sa gabi
sa bawat minutong lumilipas
hinahanap-hanap kita
hinahanap-hanap kita
sa isip at panaginip
bawat pagpihit ng tadhana
hinahanap-hanap kita....
Verse 2:
sabik sayo, kahit maghapon
na tayo'y magkasama
parang telesine
ang ating ending
hatid sa bahay nyo
sabay goodnight
sabay may kiss
sabay bye-bye...
Chorus:
sa umaga't sa gabi
sa bawat minutong lumilipas
hinahanap-hanap kita
hinahanap-hanap kita
sa isip at panaginip
bawat pagpihit ng tadhana
hinahanap-hanap kita...
Spoken:
pilit ko mang ika'y limutin
lagi kong natatagpuan
ang iyong tinig at awitin
tuwing sasapit ang ulan
ang ating pinagsamahan
mukha yatang limot na
nung puso mong biglang lumisan
at may kapiling ng iba
Chorus 2:
sa umaga't sa gabi
sa bawat minutong lumilipas
hinahanap-hanap kita
hinahanap-hanap kita
sa isip at panaginip
bawat pagpihit ng tadhana
hinahanap-hanap kita
sa school, sa flag ceremony
hanngang uwian araw araw
hinahanap-hanap kita
hinahanap-hanap kita
at kahit na magka-anak kayo
magkatuluyan balang araw
hanaphanapin ka
hanaphanapin ka

RIVERMAYA-UMAARAW UMUULAN
UMAARAW UMUULAN
RIVERMAYA
Hindi mo maintindihan
Kung ba?t ikaw ang napapagtripan
Ng halik ng kamalasan
Ginapang mong marahan ang hagdanan
Para lamang makidlatan
Sa kaitaas-taasan, ngunit
Kaibigan
Huwag kang magpapasindak
Kaibigan,
Easy lang sa iyak
Dahil wala ring mangyayari
Tayo?y walang mapapala
Wag mong pigilan ang pagbuhos ng ulan
May panahon para maging hari
May panahon para madapa
Dahil ang buhay natin ay sadyang ganyan
Umaaraw, umuulan
Umaaraw, umuulan
Ang buhay ay sadyang ganyan
Umaaraw, umuulan
Wag kang maawa sa iyong sarili
Isipin na wala ka nang silbi
San? dambuhalang kalokohan
Bukas sisikat ding muli ang araw
Ngunit para lang sa may tiyagang
Maghintay............
Kaibigan,
Wag kang magpapatalo
Kaibigan,
Itaas ang noo

RIVERMAYA-ULAN
ULAN
RIVERMAYA
hiwaga ng panahon
akbay ng ambon
sa pyesta ng dahon
ako'y sumilong
daan-daang larawan ang nagdaraan sa aking paningin
daan-daang nakaraan ibinabalik ng simoy ng hangin
tatawa na lamang o bakit hindi
ang aking damdamin pinaglalaruan ng baliw at ng ulan
at sinong di mapapasayaw ng ulan
at sinong di mababaliw sa ulan
hinulog ng langit
ang siyang ng ampon
libo-libong alaala dala ng ambon
daan-daang larawan ang nagdaraan sa aking paningin
daan-daang nakaraan ibinabalik ng simoy ng hangin
tatawa na lamang o bakit hindi
ang aking damdamin pinaglalaruan ng baliw at ng ulan
at sinong di mapapasayaw ng ulan
at sinong di mababaliw sa ulan

Tagalog Song OPM KAHIT MAPUTI NA ANG BUHOK KO
KAHIT MAPUTI NA ANG BUHOK KO
Sharon Cuneta
Kung tayo'y matanda na
Sana'y di tayo magbago
Kailan man nasaan ma'y
Ito ang pangarap ko
Makuha mo pa kayang
Ako'y hagkan at yakapin ooooooh
Hanggang pagtanda natin
Nagtatanong lang sa `yo
Ako pa kaya'y ibigin mo
Kung maputi na ang buhok ko
Pagdating ng araw
Ang `yong buhok
Ay puputi na rin
Sabay tayong mangangarap
Nang nakaraan sa `tin
Ang nakalipas ay ibabalik natin ooooooh
Ipapaalala ko sa `yo
Ang aking pangako
Na ang pag-ibig ko'y laging sa `yo
Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko
Ang nakalipas ay ibabalik natin hmmmmmm
Ipapaalala ko sa `yo
Ang aking pangako
Na ang pag-ibig ko'y laging sa `yo
Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko
Kahit maputi na ang buhok ko

RIVERMAYA-AWIT NG KABATAAN
AWIT NG KABATAAN
RIVERMAYA
Natatawa sa atin kaibigan
At nangangaral ang buong mundo
Wala na raw tayuong mga kabataan
Sa ating mga ulo
Kung gusto niyo kaming sigiwan
Bakit hindi niyo subukan?
Lalo lang kayong hindi maiintindihan
CHORUS:
Ang awit ng kabataan
Ang awit ng panahon
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
Awitin natin ngayon
Hindi niyo kami mabibilang
At hindi rin maikukulong
Marami kami ngunit iisa lamang
Ang aming pasyon
CHORUS:
Ang awit ng kabataan
Ang awit ng panahon
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
Awitin natin ngayon
At sa pag-tulog ng gabi
Maririnig and dasal
Ng kabataang uhaw
Sa tunay na pagmamahal
Nawawala,nagtatago
Naghahanap ng kaibigan
Nagtataka, nagtatanong
Kung kailan kami mapakikinggan
Kung gusto mo akong subukan
Bakit hindi mo subukan
Subukan mo akong pigilan
Subukan ninyo kami
CHORUS:
Ang awit ng kabataan
Ang awit ng panahon
Hanggang sa kinabukasan
Awitin natin ngayon
Kabataan...
Panahon...
Kabataan...
Ngayon na ang aing panahon
