Former president and current Manila Mayor Joseph ‘Erap’ Estrada will travel to Hong Kong after his coming birthday to make a personal apology for the botched 2010 hostage rescue involving HK tourists. Estrada will celebrate his 77th birthday on Saturday, April 19. He said he wants to bring back and strengthen the relationship between Manila and Hong Kong. Estrada has apologized before on behalf of the City of Manila.

Estrada added that if his apology is not accepted, he will at least have a vacation in Hong Kong.
