Joseph Estrada
13th President of the Philippines and the 3rd President of the 5th Republic.
Birthdate: April 19, 1937
Term: June 30, 1998 - January 20, 2001
"He was a former movie star who struggled his way up to the administration ladder. He first became a mayor, a senator, then became a vice-president. Due to his charisma and mass appeal, he took the highest position in the land in 1998 election over a large margin. His presidency's battlecry was to uplift the masses over poverty. He was ousted in January 2001 by the People Power 2 over claims of corruption."
"This mural is from the Karanlik Kilisesi in Cappadocia - Darkness Church - it gets very little sunlight, which is why the mural's paint is still bright, though it was painted in the 1000's."

Received from Leslie.

"It's a man's world selling textiles, but y'can try!" circa 1951.

Money money money! This was sent by a Postcard Cafe friend. I've been to Vegas once. I won $7 and stopped while I was ahead. ;)

Anyone who knows me knows that I love the show Friends. One of my Postcard Cafe friends sent me this one, and if memory serves me right, it's the one where Mr. Heckles dies and they're all talking about evolution and Phoebe offends Ross by saying that she doesn't believe in evolution.
