GALLONS of ink and a small forest of trees have been wasted on what is now known as the P6.4-billion shabu drug smuggling case. Stacks and stacks of paperwork were produced from hours upon hours of tortuous, turgid and mind-numbingly tedious Senate and House inquiries. The House committee on dangerous drugs, issued 52 pages in August 2017. The House committee on ways and means churned out 82 pages in October 2017. In the same month, the Senate blue ribbon committee on accountability of public officers and investigations, after marathon hearings, came out with 105 pages.
