菲律宾参议员辛戈伊·埃斯特拉达于5月29日为其涉及防洪工程丑闻的贪污指控缴纳了9万比索的保释金。桑迪甘巴扬法院第二分庭于当日签发了逮捕令和限制离境令，但第五分庭尚未就相关的不可保释的掠夺罪指控采取行动。新奎松市监狱已为他准备好了一间拘留室。
菲律宾内政部长琼维克·雷穆拉证实，监狱管理与刑罚局已在新奎松市监狱帕亚塔斯（Payatas）男子宿舍准备好一间拘留室。雷穆拉表示，该设施已指定用于关押防洪工程案件的嫌疑人，如果法院签发拘留令，该设施可以收容埃斯特拉达。
这起掠夺案涉及从防洪工程预算中获取超过5.73亿比索的回扣。埃斯特拉达与多名前公共工程官员一同被起诉，但第五分庭尚未签发逮捕令。
在此案之前，埃斯特拉达曾被指控两项掠夺罪并最终获判无罪。此次贪污案源于相同的防洪工程指控，他在向第二分庭缴纳保释金后已获准自由。
前参议院议长富兰克林·德里隆敦促参议院在蓝丝带委员会就此丑闻举行听证会之前，解除涉案参议员的委员会职务。
X平台上的初步反应显示，鉴于埃斯特拉达此前获判无罪的经历，公众对菲律宾司法系统持怀疑态度。批评人士将其称为腐败案件中的惯犯，同时指出尽管他已就贪污罪名获得保释，但仍面临不可保释的掠夺罪指控。
Oh, to be Jinggoy Estrada--jailed and acquitted twice from plunder cases, and yet everyone still thinks you're corrupt and far from innocent.

This speaks to the kind of justice system we have here in the Philippines.
Econg has to go. Kumakamal siguro. She should be investigated. 3rd plunder na ni Jinggoy, 2nd sa term ni Econg, not guilty pa rin hatol nya if ever? Adam yung woa

The Department of Justice recommended plunder and graft cases against Senator Jinggoy Estrada and former DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan over the flood control corruption scandal.
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla insisted he will not inhibit from the probe linking former House Speaker Martin Romualdez to the flood control scandal. He confirmed a Court of Appeals freeze order on Romualdez's assets and warned of more cases to come. Hold departure orders were also sought against former Senate President Francis Escudero and businessman Maynard Ngu.

The arrest of Senator Jinggoy Estrada inside the Senate premises is not without precedent. Former senators Leila de Lima and Antonio Trillanes IV were also served warrants in the same location.
