Dave Brodett spilled the beans against Alabang Boy

Celebrated basketballer Dave Brodett, who's now in the golf business, was in tears when he faced the House Committee on Drugs yesterday. Along with his wife Marissa and two adult kids, he blamed his sister in law, Myra Brodett, the mother of drug suspect Richard Brodett, for tolerating the alleged illegal acts of her kid. In an emotionally charged appeal, Dave asked for the public's understanding. He said that he came before the Committee on his own volition. He was not coerced nor pressured by PDEA.

He came out because he loved his father---the elder Brodett, who built the family name and brought honor to it. Now, Dave said, the same surname which he has carried proudly, is now being tarnished by the acts of his nephew. Dave went there to regain his family's honor.

As a parent myself, I felt the pain of Dave Brodett. It's hard really to go anywhere carrying that baggage of being tagged as a relative of an alleged "high-society drug pusher". Yet, some things had to be done. Maybe Dave thought that this is the right time to go out in the open and expose the nefarious activities of his nephew. Come clean, maybe he thought. At least that would put his family out of this heat for the meantime.

And I don't believe that obvious PR slant that Dave Brodett was just motivated by anger against his own brother Butch Brodett and his anger against his nephew, Richard Brodett. Atty. Verano, counsel of the accused, said that the family of Dave had a spat, a "family feud", against the family of his brother.

Probably, there was really a feud between the two families. Why? Dave provided the answer. Because allegedly his sister-in-law, Myra Brodett, tolerated the drug use and illegal peddling of his son simply because she, herself, is a drug addict. Worst, Anton Brodett, his son, was once lured into drug addiction by his cousin, Richard Brodett.

Is that a legitimate cause to feud with your sister-in-law? Obviously yes. When you see your kid being dragged into drugs by his cousin and you see your sister-in-law even tolerating it, would you not seethe in anger as well?
