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.
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.
Singson relaunched music channel Channel V Philippines on December 2009. Early in 2010, Singson later was linked to actress Lovi Poe, daughter of presidential candidate Fernando Poe, Jr., a relationship downplayed by Poe when she is being interviewed by the media. Singson also became a partner of Jomari Yllana in Fearless Production, a production outfit that produces live concerts.
Singson sought to defend his seat in the 2010 House of Representatives election against Beltran Baterina, winning in May 2010.
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. In an earlier event, his company also funded the Cook-Archuelta concert held at the Mall Of Asia concert grounds.
On late July, it was reported that Singson was arrested at the Hong Kong International Airport for allegedly possessing 26.1 grams of cocaine and 2 tablets of Valium on July 11, 2010. 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. On 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.
