01:56with deep ties, shared beliefs, common vision, and a long history of working together.

02:45One on October 31, a gaming hub suspected to be running scamming activities.
02:49It is authorized under the Freeport Area of Bataan.
02:52It is technically not a POGO, as POGOs are licenses given by PAGCOR.
02:56Freeports and economic zones are outside PAGCOR's jurisdiction.
03:00PAOK was behind some of the biggest POGO raids, which eventually resulted in an all-out ban.
03:07Lawmakers in the House of Representatives file a counterpart bill to postpone the first
03:11parliamentary elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or Barm
03:16by another year.
03:18Senate President Francis Escudero filed his proposal in the Senate Monday, November 4.
03:22Lanau-Dul Sur Representative Zia Adyong says the proposed postponement would allow Congress
03:27to give the interim Bangsamoro Transition Authority time to decide what to do with the
03:31seven district seats reserved for Sulu in the parliament.
03:35The move is opposed by former Senate Presidents from Mindanao, Coco Pimentel, and Juan Miguel
03:39Zubiri.
03:40Pimentel says the Barm election should proceed as scheduled in 2025 to allow citizens in
03:45the region to vote to reaffirm or change their leaders.
03:48Zubiri emphasizes the region waited long enough to see its first parliamentary elections and
03:54that a second postponement would be unjustified.
03:56The Bangsamoro Parliament will select the region's chief minister.
04:01The Department of Justice announces it placed seven of the Office of the Vice President
04:05personnel on its Immigration Lookout Bulletin order following a request from the House of
04:10Representatives.
04:11The elbows were issued against the following.
04:14It was House Committee Chair on Good Government and Public Accountability Rep. Joel Chua who
04:19requested the Lookout Bulletin.
04:21The House Committee is probing how Vice President Sara Duterte, who also once led DepEd, spent
04:26hundreds of millions in confidential funds in 2022 and 2023.
04:31Duterte's staff had justified their absence in the hearings, claiming that the inquiry
04:35was not in aid of legislation.
04:39And that's today's wrap.
