Alabang Boys case---high-class sona?

Embassy, that very controversial bar for the rich and famous at the Fort, was again in the limelight. PDEA Head General Santiago mentioned Embassy during the House Committee on Drugs as the alleged place where drug dealing reportedly happened among socialites. Santiago said that ecstacy tablets exchanged hands inside the dark and shadowy corners of the bar.

Question---if this is true, then, why is it that Embassy continues to operate? If Embassy is really a drug haven, as what PDEA is saying, why is it that it continues to operate up to this day? If PDEA insinuates that "Ecstacy" is quite synonymous with "Embassy", then why is it that PDEA and even the Taguig City government fail to even arrest just one confirmed drug peddler there? General Santiago, if you have proof sir, then, make these arrest happen and not give those sweeping statements about an establishment.

Having said that, let me pose a question to PDEA---ARE YOU DOING THIS NOW BECAUSE YOU ARE CONDUCTING A HIGH-CLASS SONA? For those who don't know what "sona" is, it is a police operation where they cased a particular place, arrest everybody and herd them to the police station for verification.

It seems that the PDEA and the entire government is doing this to:

1. Send a chilling effect to all scions of politicians, media personalities, showbiz personalities and businessmen that they are now fair game. That everybody involved in drug use should stop now or face the ignominy of arrest.

2. Test how the public will react if widespread arrest of "certain personalities" occur in exclusive villages and subdivisions. It seems that government plan to mold the PDEA as a version of Macoy's dreaded MIG-7. Remember that during Macoy's time, there's this agency headed by former Col. Abadilla. It's an intelligence unit tasked by the strongman to arrest dissidents and known criminal characters of that age.

Question--is this the real intention behind PDEA's "coming out in the open". Ask yourself--why is PDEA even willing to dissolve itself? Maybe in preparation for its assumption of a bigger enforcement role? Something like what Abadilla did for Marcos?

Another question--if this is true, then, could it be that the Arroyo regime is now preparing for a longer administration, since it has now created a unit that would use the issue of illegal drugs to arrest, prosecute and detain even known enemies of the state? What's their first target? Korina's report last night already told us the State's next targets: scions of politicians, media personalities, showbiz and high society/socialites.

Last question---is it possible that this Arroyo regime would use the PDEA to prosecute known high society enemies all in the name of illegal drugs? That PDEA is just using this Alabang boys case as a psywar operation to hide its new role under this regime--Arroyo's own dreaded MIG.
