Good morning Rapplers!
Inflation, or the movement of prices of basic goods and services, showed no signs of slowing down as it further accelerated to a new 5-year high of 4.6% in May, higher than the 4.5% recorded in April. The inflation figure in May was within the 4.6% to 5.4% forecast of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) economists.
Meanwhile, Malacañang said that outrage over President Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial kiss with a married overseas Filipina worker is unwarranted because the lady “was honored” by it.
Over in Davao, out of 74 riding-in-tandem killings recorded by cops from October 11, 2017 to May 21, 2018, only 6 have been either solved or cleared. Davao is the worst region at solving riding-in-tandem shootings, based on data that Rappler acquired from the Philippine National Police (PNP).
