He was born as Jose P. Ejercito in Manila, Philippines. He attended elementary and high school at the Ateneo de Manila University, and obtained a degree in economics from the University of the Philippines. He was mayor of San Juan from 1992 until 2001.

As Senator
On July 23, 2007, Jinggoy was voted Senate president pro tempore, while Kiko Pangilinan is majority leader (following the assumption of Sen. Manny Villar to the chamber's leadership of the 14th Congress). [1]
On August 15, 2007, the Supreme Court (Voting 13-0), in an 18-page decision upheld the Sandigabayan's decision to grant bail to Sen. Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada in connection with his plunder case now awaiting promulgation before the graft court.[2]
On September 11, 2007 Estrada introduced Senate bill 1556, proposing to make ROTC mandatory for all college students, male and female.
