JV Ejercito

Joseph Victor Gomez Ejercito (Tagalog pronunciation: [ʔɛˌhɛːɾ.sɪˈto]; born December 26, 1969), also known as JV Ejercito Estrada or simply JV Ejercito, is a Filipino politician and businessman serving as a Senator since 2022 and previously from 2013 to 2019. He had also served as the representative of San Juan from 2010 to 2013 and was the city's mayor from 2001 to 2010. He is a son of former president Joseph Estrada, and a half-brother of Senator Jinggoy Estrada.

After his father and half-brother were arrested for plunder on April 25, 2001, Ejercito was among the politicians who spoke against the Second EDSA Revolution at pro-Estrada rallies that preceded the May 1 riots near Malacañang Palace.

Ejercito credits himself as the author of the Universal Health Care Act of the Philippines.

Joseph Victor "JV" G. Ejercito was born December 26, 1969, in Manila to actors Joseph Ejercito Estrada, the then mayor-elect of San Juan (then a municipality of Rizal), and Guia Gomez, who is also a businesswoman. His given name Joseph Victor is derived from his father and the latter's electoral protest victory to become San Juan mayor in the same year, respectively.

He attended Xavier School for his primary and secondary education and completed his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at De La Salle University.

On February 27, 2001, Ejercito filed his candidacy to run for mayor of San Juan. Despite his father's removal from office as President of the Philippines due to the Second EDSA Revolution a month prior, Ejercito stated that in San Juan, "there is still a strong clamor for me to run." He eventually served as mayor for three consecutive terms from 2001 to 2010. It was during his term when San Juan was converted into a highly urbanized city in 2007. He was succeeded by his mother Guia Gomez.

During the 2010 elections, Ejercito ran for the position of representative for the lone district of San Juan. Over the course of his term, Ejercito authored or sponsored 161 bills and House measures, five of which were approved by the House and passed to the Senate for consideration:

On October 1, 2012, Ejercito filed his certificate of candidacy for the 2013 Philippine Senate election, where he won as the 11th placer out of 12 winning senators elected.
