Why do Filipinos vote drug traffickers into their Congress?

-
Another case for automatic targeting of Philippine passport holders for cavity searches at major world airports! Even Philippine Congressmen get caught trafficking dope. Considering that these bozos are elected by popular vote in the Philippines, one can conclude that Philippine leaders pretty much reflect the quality of their constituencies.
Singson, son of Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis ‘Chavit” Singson, was arrested at the baggage examination counter of Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok International Airport reportedly with 26.1 grams of cocaine and two tablets of diazepam, a sedative.

He has been charged with trafficking in dangerous drugs and is currently detained at Lai Chi Kok Correctional Institute.

It's a country of crooks run by crooks.

Rep. Ronald Singson jailed for drug trafficking in Hong Kong is the guy flashing the "victory" sign on the picture shown.

    Yoink! Nice going, dumbass. Not sure what the yardstick is that separates possession from trafficking in Hong Kong -- most places in the US, it's 10 grams. He had his bail denied, too; I'd say he's in big trouble.

    I can "live" with the fact the mindless voters voted a drug-trafficker in Congress. At least, people didn't have the idea what this people has done in secret while campaigning.

    What I can't live is the fact that Jalosjos, a convicted child rapist, was elected in Congress.

Why not bury former President Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Filipino Heroes' Cemetery)? That is the question that came to light recently in the wake of the burial there of former Secretary and retired General Angelo Reyes, who was in the middle of being implicated in a big-time corruption scandal at the time of his death on the 8th of February this year. Marcos's son, Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr today "reiterated his call for the burial of his father, the late former President Ferdinand Marcos, in the Libingan ng mga Bayani". Television personality Karen Davila was quoted by ANC 24/7 as having quoted Bongbong saying that "if Angelo Reyes was buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, my late father should also be buried there".

Japan after the earthquake: no need for our prayers

I keep reading about people encouraging one another to "pray" for Japan in this time of great tragedy after a massive earthquake and accompanying tsunami devastated its coastline and killed hundreds of her people. I'm not quite sure Japan needs our prayers. Japan is regarded as the country in the highest state of constant preparedness for earthquakes. As such, the disastrous earthquake that struck Japan is a tragedy, but one that is not tragic in the sense of it being a preventable loss of life.
