News says that Ilocos Sur Rep. Ronald Singson is free on bail but he cannot leave the former British colony of Hong Kong. He has to report to the police daily until he is clear to fly back home.
The elder Singson, Gov. Chavit, believes that his son may have been framed by political enemies and/or business partners so he was caught with the illegal drugs.
Any reader with a keen sense of analysis cannot figure out how true the claim of Gov. Singson is. How could somebody have put the cocaine and Valium in the pocket of the younger Singson? Of course not inside his luggage for how possible that the unscrupulous is brave enough to secretly put the contraband in the luggage of a politically prominent person? Assuming it's done that way, where and how was it done when Singson is always protected by his security?
If somebody put something in his pants’ pocket, he would have noticed it. If that was indeed true, did the security conscious congressman disregard what was put into his pocket? Did his security staff fail to notice it? Same is true when they were put into his shirt pocket. He should have scrutinized what was placed there.
Assuming that Singson was framed as claimed by Chavit, he was framed inside the airport in Manila and not in Hong Kong.
Can the legal team of Singson convince the Hong Kong court that their client was framed? May I say again that I am not a lawyer but whether he was framed or not, they found the illegal drugs in his possession and that is the crux of the case which all of us are eager to follow up. -30-
