"The Palace wishes the speedy and full recovery of former President and Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada," Presidential Communications Office Secretary Martin Andanar said in a statement.

Andanar noted that as mayor of Manila, the country's capital and premier city, Estrada regained its "lost glory."

Estrada is in his second term as mayor of Manila.
