Chinese President Xi Jinping will be sending a delegation led by Chinese Vice President Wang Quishan to the inauguration of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. as the country’s 17th President on Thursday, June 30, 2022.

And will rains dampen the revelry expected to break out on inauguration day? The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) thinks so after a low-pressure area developed into tropical depression “Caloy” late Tuesday, June 28, 2022.

Under a new anti-human trafficking law, only Filipinos aged 24 years old and above will be allowed to work abroad.

Filipinos have also been told to be vigilant as the number of Covid-19 cases continued to increase, and so too with dengue cases, nationwide.

These are among the top stories this Wednesday morning, June 29, 2022.
