RP drug problem---a national security threat

PDEA Chief General Santiago said that narcopolitics have infected the body politic and have now been deemed a national security threat.Reports say that syndicates are already talking with politicians and political parties.

What are you saying, Mr. General? That it will now be justified for your men to arrest, detail or kill politicians allegedly in bed with druglords? Or, are you saying that PDEA should be given broader and more lethal powers to defeat narcopoliticians and their financiers?

If narcopolitics is the problem, then, why is the PDEA and the DECS pushing for the implementation of random drug testing? If druglords and their local political partners are the problem, then, what's the use of subjecting students and teenagers to drug testing? Is'nt it just a waste of time?

BY THE WAY, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales has ordered the immediate re-investigation of State Prosecutor John Resado. An anonymous tipster gave Gonzales and the Anti-Money Laundering Council some bank documents alleging that someone deposited 800,000 pesos to the bank account of John Resado last December 2---the same date Resado reportedly released the DOJ resolution ordering the release of the Alabang Boys. Another deposit, again amounting to 800,000 pesos was made a few days after. Reportedly, these illegal deposits amounted to 1.6 million pesos. Resado has since dismissed these malicious allegations, saying that he and his wife have a lending business. The monies, which were deposited somewhere in Bulacan, came from what Resado called " a legitimate source."

Wagging tongues say it could be the delicious fruit coming from the poisonous reso, err, tree?
