Josephine Rose Estrada, 17, who claims to be the daughter of Philippine President Joseph Estrada, makes a turn during a night gown competition in the Mutya ng Pilipinas (Pearl of the Philippines) beauty crown contest held at the Manila coliseum April 24. Estrada has neither confirmed nor denied the claim. Josephine said her mother had a romantic fling with Estrada when he was still a movie actor in the early 1980s. Rose failed to make it to the top five finalists.
