Philippine President Joseph Estrada (L) receives an assault rifle surrendered by a Muslim rebel inside a military camp in Cagayan de Oro, on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, December 29, 2000. Under Estrada's direction, the Philippine army squared off against Muslim rebels in the south earlier this year after they kidnapped a group of foreigners and held them for ransom there. The beleaguered president was dealt a fresh blow by a senior cabinet minister, who says the former movie actor will not be able to govern effectively even if he is exonerated of charges of corruption by a Senate impeachment court.
