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

Hello, Rappler readers!

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Wednesday, June 13, issued a statement condemning the killings of Father Richmond Nilo, Father Mark Anthony Ventura, and Father Marcelito Paez. The statement, however, was silent on calls for President Rodrigo Duterte to stop his tirades against the Catholic Church.

Meanwhile, Wednesday classes have already been suspended in several areas due to heavy rain from the southwest monsoon affecting Luzon.
