- His half-brother, JV Ejercito in 13th place, just one spot behind in order to make it to the Top 12.
- JV Ejercito says he is still the ‘Good One’.
The sibling rivalry between half-brothers re-electionist senator JV Ejercito and former senator Jinggoy Estrada is still alive.
Before the elections, Estrada said that his brother was ‘the good one’ but he referred to himself as ‘the better one’.

Interesting factoid in Senate result of San Juan—Jinggoy Estrada didn’t make SJ voters’ Magic 12. He came in at 13th, super underwhelming given it’s the family bailiwick and he was mayor for almost a decade. Even more stark against his half-brother JV Ejercito‘s 3rd-place rank.
