In Hong Kong: Big Sigh of Relief for Ronald Singson

Fortunately for Ilocos Congressman Ronald Singson, he was granted bail for his revised case of drug possession (from drug trafficking). If not, every time he's taken in of the correctional facility (or holding area for accused), all the cavities of his body (definitely not tooth cavities!) are searched for drugs and other prohibited items (including weapons). When this inspection is done, he's also strip searched! It must be a huge embarrassment and inconvenience for this wealthy and pampered "elite" of the Philippines.

That's not to mention that in these "prisons", there's no air conditioning system except for cooling fans! That's also if you're lucky enough to have a fan pointing at your cell...

In Hong Kong, there's no "palakasan" system. Everybody's got to deal with the justice system. I would assume that Ronald will be found guilty (as he's already confessed to possession, did he?), and permanently barred from entering Hong Kong.
