HOWLS of outrage, so palpable in social media, rose up over the quad committee member, party-list representative Joseph Paduano's arrogant, extremely disrespectful bullying of former Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director general Wilkins Villanueva. Paduano ordered Villanueva jailed 'for contempt' when he could not get the latter to agree to his accusations that Villanueva had ordered a warrantless arrest against the wife of a drug personality.

But this is what Paduano and his colleagues in the kangaroo court, glorified as the quadcomm, have done several times: throw a 'resource person' in jail when he or she would not agree to a committee member's accusations.
