00:12The commonwealth warns candidates don't fall for claims by syndicates that they can

00:16do secret shading.

00:18Aimee Marcos denies she is at odds with her brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., at

00:22the Bagong Pilipinas campaign rally in Lawag.

00:25The NBI recommends the filing of inciting to sedition and grave threats against Vice

00:30President Sara Duterte.

00:31SB19 kicks off its Simula at Wakas World Tour in Bulacan.

00:36And chefs and celebrities pay tribute to culinary icon Margarita Forres.

00:43The Commission on Elections on Wednesday, February 12, warns against syndicates claiming

00:47to be able to manipulate election results in favor of candidates who pay them.

00:51The Kamalak says victory peddlers are not new, but arrests are rare.

00:55Following the recent arrest of three individuals who allegedly attempted to extort P90 million

01:00from candidates in Cagayan in exchange for their victory, the Kamalak outlined the new

01:04scheme the peddlers are promoting.

01:07Kamalak Chairman George Garcia says peddlers claim to have connections within the poll

01:11body and promise to use a secret shade during ballot printing to invalidate votes for rival

01:16candidates.

01:17However, Garcia says the claims are impossible.

01:19Meantime, Kamalak Commissioner Amy Ferolino denies the arrested individuals had any connection

01:24to the poll body and says they were part of a large syndicate operating across the country.

01:29The Kamalak assures the public the machines to be used in the upcoming midterm elections

01:33cannot be manipulated.

01:37Senator Aimee Marcos denied she is at odds with her brother, President Ferdinand Marcos

01:42Jr., during the Alianza para sa Bagong Pilipinas campaign rally in Lawag on Tuesday, February 11.

01:49Senator Marcos was initially part of the administration coalition ticket but withdrew,

02:06saying she prefers to run as an independent.

02:08However, days before the campaign, Alianza campaign manager Toby Tiangco announced Senator

02:13Marcos would stay on their Senate slate.

02:16Senator Marcos barely made it to the Magic 12 in previous surveys.

02:42But she was the top gator in the latest PulseAsia January survey, putting her within the winnable

02:47group of 14.

02:50The National Bureau of Investigation recommends the filing of criminal charges of inciting

02:54to sedition and grave threat against Vice President Sara Duterte for saying she had

02:59arranged the assassination of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos

03:04and Speaker Martin Romualdez if she were killed first.

03:08In response to the recommendation, Duterte says in a message to reporters,

03:12As expected.

03:13The NBI has issued a subpoena for Duterte to appear before the agency as part of their

03:18investigation but she decided not to, after her lawyer told her submitting a counter-affidavit

03:23would suffice.

03:24The prosecution team from the Justice Department will handle the criminal process and will

03:28decide when to start hearings for the preliminary investigation.

03:32Although this is a separate legal process, it is expected to strengthen the articles

03:36of impeachment against Duterte.

03:39SB19 announces its Sumula at Wacas World Tour, marking a major career milestone.

03:46In an exclusive interview with Billboard, the P-Pop Boy group reveals the tour would

03:50make stops around the world.

03:52The tour will begin on May 31 in Bulacan and will continue stops in Taiwan in June and

03:57the United States and Canada in July.

03:59The group will also head to Hawaii and Singapore in August, while in October they will have

04:03their shows in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.

04:07Meantime, dates and venues for Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, and Hong Kong are being finalized.

04:13The group will release their Sumula at Wacas EP on April 25, with the first single dropping

04:18on February 28.

04:19SB19, composed of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin, are best known for their hits

04:31Renowned Philippine chef and restaurateur Margarita Forres has passed away.

04:35Her son, Amado Forres, confirmed this in an Instagram post on Tuesday, February 11.

04:41She was 65.

04:46Josh Boutwood, the founder and chef of restaurants Ember, Helm, Savage, and The Test Kitchen,
