Guess What? Joseph Estrada

Guess What? Joseph Estrada

Philippine President Joseph Estrada said Wednesday his new year's resolution would be to quit smoking.

"Maybe this coming year I'll be less pressured ... because the first time when I assumed office I was so much pressured by the media," Estrada told reporters who asked him about his resolution for 1999.

"Now it's becoming less so I might be able to stop smoking," he said.

Estrada, a former movie actor, had earlier promised to give up cigarettes after assuming office in June, but the pressure of the presidency kept him stuck to the habit. (AFP)
