PH Democracy, Scarborough, Independence Day | Evening wRap

Today on Rappler:

A majority of Filipinos remain satisfied with how democracy is working in the country and prefer it to any other kind of government. China said it has allowed Filipino fishermen to fish in Panatag Shoal (Scarborough Shoal) in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea) “out of goodwill.” Vice President Leni Robredo said that like the country’s heroes in history, Filipinos must continue fighting threats to their freedom in the present day. The Philippine National Police (PNP) named 10 barangays (villages) in Quezon City that had the most number of crimes in a span of 40 days, based on police blotters from April 25 to June 3. Steadily, almost warily, the two leaders approached each other on a colonnaded verandah, their hands outstretched as a gaggle of media watched from a platform and the rest of the world looked on.
