As Manila's Mayor Joseph Estrada embarks upon a delicate mission to heal the rift between Hong Kong and the Philippines over the tragic 2010 bus hostage incident, his son Juan Emilio 'Jake' Ejercito, appeared to be using the diplomatic trip to have a whale of a time in the city.

Yesterday, as he travelled with his father in a Rolls-Royce, the 24-year-old took the opportunity to post a 'selfie' on Instagram, that showed his somewhat more serious father in the background.

He later took the time to post on his Twitter account @unoemilio "Anyone in HK right now? Hit me up!"

Although his light-hearted posts may stir feelings that he is not taking the trip seriously, Jake has had a hand in his father's political dealings before.
