Estoesta, along with division chair Efren de la Cruz, disagreed with the majority ruling, asserting that excessive weight had been given to Revilla's defense of forgery and to the recantation of key whistle-blowers. She argued that these recantations were improperly prioritized over other evidence presented by the prosecution that, in her view, linked Revilla to the misuse of his Priority Development Assistance Fund.

She further noted that the special five-member division formed under the Sandiganbayan's internal rules due to the lack of unanimity had overlooked the broader evidentiary context, thereby undermining the case against Revilla.
