' ALABANG BOY ' pleads not guilty in drug case
A member of the socalled " Alabang Boys" pleaded not guilty of illegal drug trafficking before a Quezon city regional trial court yesterday.
Judge Jaime Salazar of Branch 103 set the pre-trial of the case against Joseph Ramirez Tecson on May 18.
Tecson, together with Richard Brodette and Jorge joseph, were arrested in a series of drug busts by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency last Sept. 20.
The charges were initially dismissed by the government prosecutor but the decision was overturned by Malacanang, which ordered the filling of the case.
The cases of Brodette and Joseph are still being raffled off at the Mandaluyong regional trial court.
During yesterday's hearing, Salaza also ordered Tecson's transfer to the Quezon City jail pending the resolution of his case.

The camp of Richard Brodette, one of the so-called " Alabang Boys, " nabbed by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for alleged drug peddling, on Friday said it sees a good chance that the accused would be allowed to post bail.
Brodette's lawyer Felisberto Verano Jr., said this following the hearing Thursday in the sala of Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 204 Judge Juanita Guerrero which tackled the rebuttal for the bail petition.
In the hearing, PDEA agent Jigger Juniller testified that he acted as "poseur buyer" or undercover buyer during the buy-bust operation last September 20 that arrested Brodette and his alleged co-accused Jorge Joseph and Joseph Tecson.
But Verano, after digesting Juniller's nearly two- hour testimony, said the latter " admitted " that he did not see any drugs during the conduct of the operation.
"That's what he said. He did not see anything, of buying drugs, " claimed Verano, insisting that their petition for bail was even strengthened by Juniller's account.
The PDEA operative's testimony could even be used to bolster the " Alabang Boys " case during the trial proper, Verano said.
For his part, PDEA Chief Legal Counsel Alvaro Lazaro said taht their witness " was able to narrate in a straightforward manner what transpired during the buy-bust operation."
As such, Lazaro said Verano deluding himself into believing that PDEA would actually present a witness that would do any favors for the defense, let alone " bolster their case."
I think Atty. Verano had too much to drink. he's hallucinating, " Lazaro said.
The next hearing on the bail petition has been set on August 16,2009.
PDEA alleged the Alabang Boys have links with the Valle Verde group, which allegedly supplies illegal drugs in Manila, Baguio City and to a larger, international syndicate that peddles through the internet.
