In the evening, many families gathered to eat dinner together in the Philippines. Those who were still working overtime or the night shift turned on the evening news to help keep them awake if their workplace allowed watching television or listening to the radio.
Some were stuck in traffic. Those who had their own vehicles freely turned on their radios or portable TVs to listen to or watch the evening news. Those who used public transportation were at the mercy of their drivers when it came to the channel. Those who had their own mobile devices wore earphones to enjoy their chosen entertainment.
Millions of Filipinos tuned in to today's evening news as usual.
"Good evening, Philippines. This is 'Patrol 24' giving you timely news from all over the country and the world."
The headlines were a mixed bag as usual. There was good news, bad news, interesting news, and boring news.
Politics, crimes, calamities.
Achievements, feel-good stories, funny incidents.
