Rody’s audacity

Dawn of Sunday saw the peaceful facade again pierced by the roaring of a leader finally reading the names from a so-called validated list. This is not the first time I saw in my lifetime someone read a list of names of personalities, individuals, elected and appointed; civilian and uniformed on the battle against illegal drugs in the country.

Sometime in the mid-1990s, a solon from Parañaque stood on the floor and bravely recited the Order of Battle of the then PNP on jueteng and illegal drugs. Roilo Golez fought so many fights of his life but when he stood single handedly to try to give the PNP a leg to pursue said battle, he got a lot of ridicule as being a lone rider against a very unpopular cause.
