‘Ecstasy’ is fucking nothing. They should arrest all of our fat-ass politicians who take from the rich and exploit the poor. If you pass the parking lot of some of the big “massage parlors” (whore-houses, that is) along Sucat road, you’d see a couple of government cars. I remember a fuck-head politician who visited our school once, who was giving a speech for the graduates. He said something like “Who knows? One day you might be rubbing elbows with congressmen like myself.” Fuck you! You’re the one who’s rubbing elbows with us. Cops are another thing. They just go to my store so I could give them free soda. Useless fuckers. Ecstasy is fucking nothing. And fuck this exaggerated article by the way. “Syndicate” my ass! My friend is a good man. I hope he gets out of this shit he’s gotten himself into.
I don’t know about the other guy though.

THE police arrested two scions of wealthy families caught allegedly selling hundreds of “ecstasy” tablets during an entrapment operation in Pasig City Thursday afternoon.
Seized from the pair were some 400 “ecstasy” tablets, valued at P750 each, from Francis Morales Braza, 20, of BF Homes, Mariposa Village, Parañaque City; and Marco Alberto Jacinto de la Rama, 24, of Valle Verde II, Pasig City.
“Ecstasy,” also known as “flying saucer,” “love doves,” and “artist drug,” is a synthetic amphetamine mostly used by people aged between 20 to 40 and distributed in high-end bars, disco pubs and posh condominiums. The drug is believed to be illegally brought in from the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe.
Thursday’s haul was one of the biggest “ecstasy” seizures in recent years, according to Director Marcelo Ele, chief of the Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force. The first to be arrested was Braza, who allegedly sold 300 tablets to a policeman posing as a buyer at the Champagne Edition Condominium on St. Jose Maria Escriva Drive in Pasig City. De la Rama was caught nearby, Ele added.
Ele said De la Rama was “the person who supplied” Braza the tablets. The suspect tried to escape but was subdued by task force agents, the police said, adding that the Mitsubishi Pajero De la Rama allegedly used yielded 100 ecstasy tablets.
The police believe the suspects belong to a well-financed drugs syndicate in Metro Manila. At least three other alleged members of the drug ring had been identified, but authorities refused to reveal their names.
Ele said the members belong to “affluent” families in exclusive subdivisions of the metro.
A European national was believed to be the source of the drugs, he said.
