RP officials look for Estrada women

MANILA (AFP): Immigration officials have been told to keep a
close watch on Philippine international airports for fleeing
cronies and mistresses of deposed leader Joseph Estrada, a report
said on Sunday.

The order was issued by newly appointed immigration
commissioner Andrea Domingo amid reports that Estrada's friends
and mistresses were planning to flee abroad to escape prosecution
on corruption charges.

The Philippine Star quoted Domingo as saying the order was for
officials to "delay the departure of these persons should they
try to board commercial or private planes."

Officials should then inform the justice department, which has
authority to slap a hold departure orders, Domingo said.
