Emilio Ramon Pelayo Ejercito III (born October 5, 1963), commonly known as E. R. Ejercito,[a] is a Filipino actor and former governor of Laguna from 2010 until his removal in 2014. Prior to his election as governor, he served as mayor of Pagsanjan, Laguna from 2001 until 2010.[1] He is the son of actor George Estregan and the nephew of former President and former Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada.

On May 27, 2014, the Commission on Elections unseated Ejercito after alleged overspending during the campaign for the 2013 midterm elections. Three days later, his uncle, Joseph Estrada, convinced him to step down.

On April 5, 2019, he was convicted and sentenced to 6 to 8 years in prison for graft over an anomalous insurance deal when he was mayor of Pagsanjan in 2008.[2][3][4] The Sandiganbayan anti-graft court on August 7, 2019, upheld its earlier ruling that also barred Ejercito from holding public office.[2][5]
