Congressman Ronald Singson Jailed in HK for Cocaine Possession

Karma works fast. Just ask Ilocos Sur Governor (again) Chavit Singson. His son Ronald Singson, a newly elected congressman from Ilocos Sur, is currently detained in Hong Hong after he was caught carrying 26.1 grams of cocaine and two tablets of diazepam (a sedative, marketed as Valium) at the Customs Arrival Hall of Chek Lap Kok International Airport on July 11.

This is good news. It would have been excellent news if Ronald Singson was caught in Singapore or other Asian countries with strict antidrugs law. Ala Brokedown Palace ba?

So you ask what is a politician doing on this showbiz blog? Well aside from the fact that I want to spread this sense of schadenfreude I feel whenever Chavit Singson is taken down a peg or two, Ronald Singson has showbiz connections.

He is a partner in Jomari Yllana's Fearless Productions, the company that brings popular musical artists here - the most recent one being Usher. Ronald has also had a few romantic relationships with local starlets - the most recent one being Lovi Poe.

Speaking of Lovi Poe, Chavit is lie telling that his son's recent breakup with Lovi (during Usher's concert at SMX in Mall of Asia no less) broke his son's heart that he let friends influence him to carry drugs with him. 41 years old and still feeling peer pressure? Yeah, right, Chavit.

And Lovi? She may look to be approaching 30 but she's actually in her early 20s. That's not yikes. That's daddy issues.

Now that Ronald is stroking prison bars instead of Lovi (sorry for the imagery) what will happen to the bill Ronald submitted to Congress, which, by the way, has the distinction of being the first ever bill filed for the incoming 15th Congress.

Well, no worries. It's a bill that proposes tax exemption to individuals who want to buy and own hybrid cars. Yeah, hybrid cars are good for the environment and all but what percentage of our population is poor again? Who gives a fuck, really?

Well, Ronald does because he owns one. Self serving cocaine fiend!
