Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada^[2] (born February 17, 1963), or simply Jinggoy Estrada,^[4] is a Filipino politician and film actor who has been a senator since 2022, and previously from 2004 to 2016. He was the president pro tempore of the Senate from 2007 to 2013, and briefly became Senate President in acting capacity after Juan Ponce Enrile's resignation. Before serving in the Senate, he was the vice mayor (1988–1992) and later mayor (1992–2001) of San Juan when it was still a municipality.

Estrada has been detained twice for corruption charges. In 2001, he and his father, ousted president Joseph Estrada, were arrested after being charged with plunder. He was released in 2003, elected to the Senate in 2004, and was acquitted in 2007.^[5] In 2014, he was charged and detained for allegedly embezzling ₱183 million from his discretionary funds in a scandal known as the pork barrel scam.^[6] In 2016, he was released after being allowed to post bail. He sought reelection in the 2019 Senate election but lost. He ran again in 2022 and won a Senate seat.^[7] In 2024, Estrada was convicted on one count of committing direct bribery and two counts of indirect bribery, but acquitted on charges of plunder over the use of the Priority Development Assistance Fund. He was sentenced to 8 to 9 years for direct bribery, 2 to 3 years for indirect bribery and ordered to pay a fine of ₱3 million.^[8]

Outside politics, Estrada is also an actor like his father appearing in numerous films in action star roles. He won the Best Actor Award in the 2007 Metro Manila Film Festival for the film Katas ng Saudi, the award is the one of the most-sought and prestigious distinction among Filipino actors.
