Good morning Rapplers!
Will John Paul Solano, the principal suspect and witness in the killing of Horacio Castillo III, be released by the Department of Justice? The Manila Police District says it won’t allow it and will file a motion for reconsideration to keep him detained.
Meanwhile, as President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs hits its 15th month, more Filipinos have expressed disbelief that many of those killed in police operations fought back, according to a survey from the Social Weather Stations (SWS).
The Philippine National Police also allegedly only submitted 10 inquest reports to congressmen, almost a month after they asked for data on the cops’ probe on those who may have killed suspects in anti-drug operations.
In Marawi, Defense Secretary and rehab chief Delfin Lorenzana told government officials from Mindanao that he was “confident” that the military will be able to fulfill its pronouncement that the war in Marawi City will be done by the end of the month.
Other updates include the Civil Service Commission’s reaction to Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs) of some Cabinet officials which contained redacted or blacked out portions, released by Malacañang; the latest in the Senate Intelligence Committee probe on Russian interference in US politics; and senators bickering yet again on the Senate floor.
All these are on today’s wRap.
