Puerto Rico Morning Brief Wednesday, September 16, 2026

A Puerto Rican producer is set to launch SlingShot, a vertical micro-drama streaming platform, in October 2026 on Android and iPhone.

Two other institutions are also looking ahead to next year. The Museum of Contemporary Art will open a museum-wide exhibition called "Diasporican Abstraction" in 2026, bringing together more than 50 artists and collectives spanning different generations and geographies. In the courts, the Puerto Rico Judiciary’s Electronic Tribunal, which offers online mediation, has already logged 166,550 requests since its launch, a sign of steady demand for the digital service.

Reservoir levels remain a point of daily tracking: La Plata stood at 44.40 meters, while Carraízo dropped 2 centimeters to 39.23 meters, still within the observación band and about 0.73 meters above the ajustes line, giving roughly 36.5 days of supply at the current rate of decline.

The Puerto Rico Senate announced it will investigate the recent boom in online raffles for vehicles and houses that have proliferated on social media.

No timeline for the investigation’s findings was given, and the fate of the raffles under scrutiny remains to be seen.
