From this article... http://www.gmanews.tv/story/214134/belmonte-rep-singson-to-resign-from-post-t... House speaker Belmonte says that congressman Singson will resign this
week due to his conviction on smugling cocaine into Hong Kong. I have
two things I want to get off my chest: 1. I hope this does not become a plus point on the part of congressman
Singson. It is but right that he resigns. Let it not be trumpeted that
he is a gentleman simply because by law he is not required to resign.
Not everything legal is right, moral or ethical. I hope his supporters
won't claim that he has resigned because he cares about the
Philippines' and Congress' reputation. His resignation is not to his
credit. 2. He should not have been allowed to resign. He should have been
EXPELLED! Don't get me wrong. I'm not out to punish the congressman
(Hong Kong is seeing to that), nor am I out for vengeance (everyone
deserves a chance to reform and I hope the congressman will use the
time in prison to be trully relieved of this awful vice). Rather, I
wanted to see if our congress had the gall to do the right thing. I
wanted to see how many of our congressmen will turn a blind eye to a
crime committed by one of their own and hide behind legalities. And
most importantly, I wanted their votes to be recorded so that they may
be judged by historians in the future. I really wanted to see what our current crop congressmen are really made of. From,
