Good morning Rapplers!
The Philippine National Police (PNP) sought to quell the suspicion of the Supreme Court (SC) that drug campaign deaths may have been carried out by the government itself. Despite allegations of irregularities that hound them, the PNP insisted: “The presumption of regularity remains with the law enforcers and unless proven otherwise in the court of law.” The High Court’s suspicion arose from the Duterte administration’s listing of deaths in anti-drug operations as “accomplishments” in their 2017 yearend report.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping have given the “go signal” for their countries to craft a framework for joint exploration in the West Philippine Sea. The West Philippine Sea is the part of the South China Sea that belongs to the Philippines but is claimed by China.
Meanwhile, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) gave the order to lower Grab fares during peak hours, telling the ride-hailing service to lower its surge pricing cap during peak hours from 2.0 to only 1.5 times the normal fare.
All this and more are on today’s wRap.
