Ronald Singson - to be expelled from Congress

Well, I just read on the news today that Singson has resigned from his post. I guess he still has some sense left in him.

Finally! Finally! I hope people will not misread me but I think it is a real disgrace to see a public official doing crime. At least in a foreign government, he didn't get a slap on the wrist and a pair of welcoming arms after that. It is a shameful act and being a public official, he should have known better. I guess jail time is going to teach him a lot of lessons that may help him respect and uphold the law better.

This is very frustrating. What kind of politicians the Philippines have?

I totally agree! I wonder why Congress hasn't done that yet? He has dishonored not only Congress and his office, but the entire country. I think that's reason enough to expel him. And he should just resign himself. He can still find a job when he gets back. But he should face the consequences of his actions. He shouldn't drag the country in his disgrace any more than he already has.

He should be! He shouldn't even wait to be expelled, he should do the honorable thing and resign from his post instead. Bottomline is he broke a major law. That's a serious breach of conduct for any government official. He broke public trust and should be made accountable for it. Lawmakers can never be law breakers at the same time. It just isn't right.

Agree! as a politician and as a leader he must be a good example to all of us but look what he has done.

Yes I think it is just the right thing to do. I think that his constituents are still not receiving the right representation in Congress if Rep. Singson would insist to have this title retained. I think the district he is supposed to serve deserve to be represented in Congress. I just do not know how this will be done.

Not just because he cannot report because he is going to be incarcerated but because he doesn't deserve his position at all! How can he be a public servant if he cannot act as a role model to his constituents. Being a public official requires more than attending congress meetings and all of those political stuffs. These should serve as a reminder for all of our public officials and citizens alike.
