MANILA CITY- At the age of 79, former president and now Manila City Mayor Joseph "Erap" Estrada claims he still has an active sex life.

"Kapag di na ako active, ayaw ko na. Magreretire na ako. Mawawala ba yun? Kapag nawala yun, wala ka na silbi," Estrada said during the 116th anniversary of the Manila Police District.

(If I am no longer active. I don't want anymore. I will retire. Will that go away? If that goes away, you become useless.)

He added that he has already stopped smoking for a month after he was hospitalized due to asthma but clarified that he continues to drink alcohol.

"Asthma lang, asthmy wife," Estrada said, dismissing earlier reports that he contracted pneumonia.

He also assured the public that he is still fit to work, boasting that he even sleeps late since he conducts rounds in Divisoria.

He also revealed that he will run for a third term as Manila City mayor, because he wants to bring back the glory days of the capital.
