Early life[edit]
Chavit Singson was born on June 21, 1941 in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. He is second eldest among the seven children of José Singson and Caridad Crisólogo. He studied in Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Manila and finished his Commerce degree.
Both his paternal (Singson) and maternal (Crisologo) families have dominated the political environment of the Ilocos region for generations. Although many members of both families, such as Chavit are related to one another, the two families have shared a bitter feud which reached its apex in the 1960s and 1970s, when shootings and political intimidation were rampant in the Ilocos region. Chavit considered his uncle, Floro Crisologo as a mentor, but eventually had a severe falling out with his cousin and once-confidant Vincent Crisologo who was Floro's son and there were many bloody encounters between the two. It is currently stated by both sides that tensions have eased.
Political career[edit]
Singson had secured a spot as a candidate for the 2007 Philippine senatorial elections. He has sided with the government party, despite being former friends with the former president Joseph Estrada.[1] After losing the elections, Singson had been appointed Deputy National Security Adviser, on September 5, 2008 by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.[2]
Business career[edit]
Through his conglomerate LCS Group of Companies, Singson pledged to raise $11 million needed to host the Miss Universe 2016 pageant in the country on January 30, 2017, according to Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo.[3] For the big event, which was to entail a budget of about $13-million, Singson had tapped possible sponsors including big hotels where the candidates and the Miss Universe entourage will be billeted.[4] On October 8, the company filed its bid[5] to become a third telecommunications provider in the Philippines.

Ronald Versoza Singson (born November 18, 1968 in Manila) is a Filipino politician, businessman and concert producer. A son of the patriarch of the Singson political clan Chavit Singson, he served as representative of Ilocos Sur's first district from 2013 to 2016, and earlier from 2007 to 2010, when he resigned after being convicted for 18 months for drug possession by the Wan Chai District Court in Hong Kong.
Career[edit]
Singson was elected as representative of Ilocos Sur's first district on the 2007 election, succeeding Salacnib Baterina who was term-limited, serving in the 14th Congress. While in Congress, he co-authored a bill giving more benefits to people involved in the judicial branch of the government.[2]
Singson relaunched music channel Channel V Philippines on December 2009.[3] Early in 2010, Singson later was linked to actress Lovi Poe, daughter of presidential candidateFernando Poe, Jr., a relationship downplayed by Poe when she is being interviewed by the media.[4] Singson also became a partner of Jomari Yllana in Fearless Production, a production outfit that produces live concerts.[5]

Singson sought to defend his seat in the 2010 House of Representatives election against Beltran Baterina,[6] winning in May 2010.[7]
On July 9, 2010, Singson's production outfit co-produced Usher's concert at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, and was considering to bring Justin Bieber to the Philippines.[8] In an earlier event, his company also funded the Cook-Archuelta concert held at the Mall Of Asia concert grounds.[9][10]
Arrest in Hong Kong[edit]
In late July 2010, it was reported that Singson had been arrested on the 11th of the month at the Hong Kong International Airport for allegedly possessing 26.1 grams of cocaine and 2 tablets of Valium. He refused to be helped by the Philippine consulate in Hong Kong, and on July 22, a judge denied him of bail on his arraignment.[11] In August, the judge granted him bail worth HK$2 million (PHP12 million) after it was determined that the weight of the drugs seized on Singson was only 6.7 grams. Representative Miro Quimbo observed the proceedings to compile a report to Congress.[12]
In September, the court extended his bail due to him undergoing medical treatment; it also delayed Singson's plea bargaining on October.[13] The judge then rescheduled the next hearings to November when the judge ordered Singson's lawyer to explain why a medical report would be necessary.[14] After Singson admitted that the drugs seized were for his own personal use, his lawyers arranged him to plead guilty for drug possession; this was opposed by the prosecution that insisted that Singson was importing the drugs to Hong Kong.[15]

After pleading guilty, Akbayan representative Walden Bello urged Speaker of the House of RepresentativesFeliciano Belmonte, Jr. to initiate expulsion proceedings against Singson. Majority floor leader Neptali Gonzales II maintained the House of Representatives' stand was to let the trial finish.[16] On January 2011, Stanley Chan, the judge presiding Singson's trial stood down after receiving a letter with 'prejudicial allegations' against Singson. His father Chavit remarked after the hearing that his son was 'set up.'[17] Chavit later said that his son may be used as an example by the Chinese who are still angry on the Manila hostage crisis that led to the deaths of several Hong Kong residents in a bloody rescue attempt by the Manila Police District.[18] Singson considered resigning from his House seat but urged other representatives to let the trial finish before judging him.[19]
On February 23, 2011, judge Joseph Yau agreed with Singson that the drugs were for his own personal use, since that he did not need to traffic drugs to maintain a living considering he is a member of a wealthy family, although he contended that Singson overstated his level of drug use. Singson's lawyer proposed a sentence of less than two years.[20]
Yau ruled that Singson was guilty of drug possession, sentencing him to two and a half years in prison, but reducing it by a year due to Singson pleading guilty, and his good personal background. Singson's family and Lovi Poe attending the sentencing; Chavit later said that they would not appeal the decision.[21] On March 1, Singson resigned from the House of Representatives,[22] with the lower house accepting his resignation and declaring a vacancy to his seat a week later.[23]
With the vacancy, the House of Representatives ordered the Commission on Elections to call a special election to fill Singson's seat. The commission subsequently scheduled the special election on May 28,[24] where he was succeeded by his brother, Vigan Vice Mayor Ryan Singson.[25] Beech baron 58 flight manual cover.
His father Chavit said a few weeks before Ronald's January 18, 2011 release that his son won't reenter politics and will instead focus on his businesses.[26]
