For Filipinos, rich or poor, the impeachment trial of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada was the great equalizer, making jurors of all. When the Senate proceedings collapsed, Estrada's fate rested with warm, agitated bodies that gathered at EDSA, scene of the first people power revolution 15 years ago that ousted the dictator, Ferdinand Marcos. Armed Forces Chief of Staff Angelo Reyes had foreseen the upheaval. Back in October 2000, he sought the views of a University of the Philippines law professor to justify a military defection, which happened wholesale on January 19, 2001. The recognition of the United States of Vice President Macapagal-Arroyo's ascension to the presidency which was followed by other governments soon after was based on a false report of Estrada's resignation announced by Arroyo's husband. Hot Money, Warm Bodies provides a behind the scene account of those momentous days in January 2001 as well as the events that paved the way for the downfall of a popular but tainted president. Hot money, Warm bodies tells of intimate details of the spicy lifestyle of the movie actor-turned-politician who sees as his only fault his inability to control his libido. This book also relates the six days of rage by Estrada loyalists at the EDSA shrine which culminated in the storming of Malacanang one hundred days after People Power 2.
