VIGAN CITY—Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis “Chavit” Singson yesterday said his son, Rep. Ronald Singson, hired a legal team to represent him in a drug possession case he is facing in Hong Kong.
But Singson said he had not spoken to his son and was only relying on reports supplied by Ronald’s friends and business associates who are now in Hong Kong.
He said the latest information he received was that a legal team was assisting Ronald, but he could not give further details.
Court records from Hong Kong showed that Ronald, 41, was arrested at the Chek Lap Kok International Airport for possession of 26.1 grams of cocaine and two tablets of a sedative on July 11. The records also showed that the court rejected Ronald’s application for bail. He has been detained since his arrest.
Singson said he did not know the real story behind the arrest. “He will tell the story … himself when he is available,” he said.
In an earlier interview, Singson had said Ronald would arrive in the country next week. But reports said Ronald was scheduled to appear in a Hong Kong court on Aug. 19.
Singson said he would go to Hong Kong soon to check on his son.
The governor also apologized for his son’s behavior, saying he would not tolerate the use of illegal drugs in his family and in the companies they run.
“I sincerely apologize for whatever shortcoming my son had committed,” Singson told the Inquirer by phone yesterday.
“In government and in my own companies, I never tolerated [the use of] illegal drugs,” he said.
The Singson family is engaged in the transportation and construction businesses. The family owns Partas Bus Line, which has more than 200 buses plying various routes in Northern Luzon, and runs the construction firm Satrap.
Singson said Ronald, who is a concert producer and owner of cable music station, Channel V, went to Hong Kong after his company staged the Manila concert of singer, Usher, on July 9.
Now that the election is over, senators, congressmen and other government officials were re-elected. They aim to get their power back so they can continue to live their lavish and wasteful lifestyles at our expense. We must not let this happen again.

You all watched the Youtube videos of the representative of Pampanga Mikey Arroyo. This is a rare situation where the son of our President Gloria Arroyo reveals the ways and secrets on how public officials can manipulate and steal millions of public money.
Our government officials have forgotten that these money are intended to build schools, hospitals, fund scholarships for deserving students, health care, housing for thousands of families, fight poverty, food for the children…etc .
They have taken the rights of the poor people to live and survive.
Their human dignity lost as we watch videos on Youtube of children and families eating garbage gathered from dump sites and restaurant garbage bins. Each day is a struggle to survive.

Communist Laos has come late to the Asian economic boom but it’s now open for business. Investment is pouring in and resources like timber and rubber are pouring out – transforming the country and turning virgin forest into fields and plantations. But Laos is one of the last biodiversity hotspots in south east Asia and commercial development is chipping away at the country’s natural capital. Originally from Laos, Sam Say is a successful Hong Kong businessman searching for investment opportunities that won’t destroy his country’s heritage. He’s teaming up with botanist Dr Sounthone Ketphanh — Director of Lao’s Forest Research Center. Together, they’re on a mission to find out if the price of economic development is the loss of unique and valuable species and ecosystems. In the UN’s year of Biodiversity tve’s new Earth Report programme, Gambling on Laos travels with them to see if there could be another way.
