If the House of Representatives starts getting accusations of tolerating DRUG USERS among its ranks, it should not be surprised, and DISAPPOINTED.
For the simple reason that up to now, it has refused to act on the case of confessed drug user Ilocos Sur Rep. Ronald Singson.
Despite Singson’s recent conviction in Hong Kong, the clamor for his ouster, the call by no less than Speaker Sonny Belmonte for his resignation and most of all, the SHAME he had brought to House, and the country.
Una sa lahat, maging ang BATAS natin ay NAGPAPARUSA sa mga nahuhulihan ng droga, lalo pa kung ito ay AAMIN AGAD sa kaniyang pagkakasala tulad ni Singson.
Even if Singson was caught and convicted in Hong Kong, he already had the cocaine when he went there from Manila.
Therefore, he had already VIOLATED the law against illegal drugs. That violation entails penalties. And even if I’m not a lawyer, I’d bet 1000 to 1 that even congressmen are NOT EXEMPT or above the law.
So what else is the House waiting for?
Don’t tell me a RETRACTION from Singson of his admission of his guilt. Or a JUSTIFICATION of his possession and self-confessed use of illegal drugs.
Lalo naman sigurong walang regulasyon ang House na pinapayagang gumamit ng droga ang sinumang congressman.
The Singson case is not just simply another conviction of a Filipino for illegal drugs.
The CRITICAL POINT here is our lawmakers are NOT ACTING, YET, on a SELF-CONFESSED VIOLATOR of the law just because he is one of them.
It sends a signal that congressmen can do anything they want, LEGAL OR ILLEGAL.
Paano na kung may mahuli na namang congressman sa ibang bansa na may dalang droga? Ano ang gagawin ng House?

PHILIPPINE STAR Senior Reporter NON ALQUITRAN on “Let’s not forget JPE, FVR, Honasan for EDSA 1”:
Yes. i was there to cover for People's Journal on the first day of EDSA I. Me kuha pa nga ako na nasa likod nina JPE at Ramos habang nagpi-presscon, announcing their breakaway from FM, at Camp Aguinaldo. The rest is history. But the sad thing is me nabago ba after EDSA 1? Kasi watak-watak pa rin ang mga Pinoy at awayan ng awayan.

Kawawa na ang mga Pilipino sa kabagalan ng gobyerno. Kahit sino ang maupo sa pwesto, wala ng pagbabago. Nagkukulang na kasi ng faith ke GOD. TAMA KA SA LAHAT NG SINULAT MO. Continue to post. 30
What can we expect from these so-called makers cum lawbreakers. They did not go to Congress for any noble purposes. They found politics to be a good business with no capital but saliva and a mask to hide their insidious intent. The upright do not stay long in Congress. It's better to stay out of their zarzuela least you become a partner in their crimes.
