#ThewRap: Things you need to know, November 30, 2017

Rappler

Hello! Here are the stories you shouldn't miss this Thursday.

Happy Bonifacio Day Rapplers!

As the House committee on justice ended its 4th hearing to determine probable cause in an impeachment complaint against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, committee chairman Reynaldo Umali said it’s becoming clear that “irregularities” had happened in the Supreme Court (SC). This, after Supreme Court Associate Justice Teresita Leonardo-De Castro testified against Sereno.

On the administration’s drug war, Philippine National Police Director General Ronald dela Rosa claimed that the London-based international news agency Reuters had “edited” the videos to damage the PNP’s reputation. Dela Rosa was referring to the November 27 Reuters report on an October 11 anti-drug raid in Tondo, Manila, where cops killed 3 drug suspects. Police said the 3 fought back, but CCTV footage and witness’ accounts presented by Reuters pointed to policemen going rogue then executing the men.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) apologized to the public for disclosing that one of the arrested suspects in a hotel buy-bust operation is living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS).

In the United States, broadcast journalist Matt Lauer, who has been the co-anchor of the top-rated morning show Today on NBC, was fired by the network after a detailed complaint of inappropriate sexual behavior at work.
