00:13Filipinos online welcome President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s ban on Pogos.

00:17House Speaker Martin Ramualdez orders House leaders to introduce a measure to ban Pogos

00:22in the country.

00:23An independent monitoring group says Marcos' anti-illegal drug campaign is nowhere near

00:28bloodless as he claims in his third sauna.

00:31A United States congressional panel asks the CEO of CrowdStrike to testify on the global

00:36tech outage.

00:38And celebrities endorse Kamala Harris as Democratic nominee for U.S. President, ending a Hollywood

00:44dembargo.

00:48Filipinos online welcome President Ferdinand Marcos' pronouncements on banning Philippine

00:52offshore gaming operators or Pogos.

00:55Pogo ranks third on Philippine Trends on X after the President's State of the Nation

01:00Address Monday, July 22.

01:03Before the sauna, Pogos were among the issues Filipinos hoped President Marcos would address.

01:09Filipinos online attribute the President's decision on Pogo to Senator Rhys Monteveros'

01:13efforts and persistence.

01:18Monteveros led the Senate Committee probe on Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, who is linked to

01:22illegal Pogos.

01:24Some social media users also put the spotlight on senators who enabled Pogo operations in

01:29the country.

01:33At the end of Marcos' third sauna, Filipinos online say they are caught in the middle of

01:38the fractured unity between Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte.

01:45House Speaker Martin Romualdez gives marching orders to House leaders and top secretariat

01:49officials to introduce a measure to ban Philippine offshore gaming operators or Pogos in the

01:54country.

01:55Romualdez says he already met with House leaders and top secretariat officials, and he requested

02:01all the committee chairs concerned to make it a priority.

02:04Romualdez wants the enabling law to cover, quote, all bases of the total ban on Pogos

02:10to make it a legacy of President Marcos.

02:13Romualdez initially did not favor a total ban.

02:16The change comes after Marcos, in his third State of the Nation address, ordered the Philippine

02:21Amusement and Gaming Corporation to wind down and cease the operations of Pogos by the end

02:26of 2024.

02:27Effective today, all Pogos are banned.

02:37Our bloodless war on dangerous drugs adheres and will continue to adhere to the established

02:43The anti-illegal drug campaign under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is nowhere near bloodless

02:57as he claimed during his third State of the Nation address.

03:00Independent monitoring by the DAHAS Project of the University of the Philippines' Third

03:04World Studies Center say this claim is inaccurate.

03:08There were at least 701 drug-related killings during the first two years of the Marcos administration.

03:14Out of this number, 283 or 40.4% were committed by state agents, including the Philippine

03:20National Police.

03:22The total number of drug-related killings under Marcos now stands at 712 as of July

03:277.

03:28Marcos has distanced himself from the violence that marked the administration of his predecessor

03:32Rodrigo Duterte.

03:36The U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee has sent a letter to CrowdStrike

03:40CEO George Kurtz, asking him to testify on the global tech outage last July 19.

03:46CrowdStrike's glitchy update to its security software crashed computers powered by Microsoft's

03:51Windows operating system, affecting a broad range of industries including airlines, banking,

03:57and healthcare.

03:58Microsoft said on Saturday about 8.5 million Windows devices were affected.

04:04Services across industries gradually came back online later on Friday, but companies

04:08were dealing with backlogs, delays, canceled flights, and other issues.

04:13The congressional panel wrote in its letter to Kurtz,

04:16"...we cannot ignore the magnitude of this incident, which some have claimed is the largest

04:20IT outage in history."

04:25Fundraisers and celebrities from rapper Cardi B to Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis, actor

04:30Bradley Whitford, Disney heiress Abigail Disney, and TV producer Shonda Rhimes endorsed Kamala

04:36Harris as the next Democratic nominee for U.S. President, ending a Hollywood dembargo

04:41on political donations.

04:44In Harris' first public appearance since the announcement, she rallied supporters, vowing

04:48to go after Republican nominee Donald Trump like the courtroom prosecutor she once was.

04:53In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds, predators who abused women, fraudsters

05:05who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain.

05:12So hear me when I say, I know Donald Trump's type.
