00:55led by Sen. Risa Ontiveros for failing to attend Senate hearings

00:59The mayor also faces a human trafficking complaint, a non-bailable offense, over her

01:03alleged ties with an illegal pogo in her town

01:06The Office of the Solicitor General had filed a petition with a local Tarlac court seeking

01:11to cancel Guo's birth certificate

01:13It also seeks to unseat Guo as mayor via a quo warranto petition, arguing she is a

01:18Chinese citizen

01:19Last month, the Court of Appeals approved the freeze order against Guo, which means

01:23the mayor cannot use her assets and properties

01:26Guo is already on the Immigration Lookout Bulletin order

01:29GMA Network addresses sexual assault allegations against two high-ranking creative personnel

01:37as posts surface online

01:39It says it received a formal complaint from Sparkle artist Sandro Mulac against two, quote,

01:44GMA independent contractors, Giorgio Nones and Richard Cruz

01:48Viral online posts allege the incident happened after the GMA gala last July 20

01:53Cruz on his IMDb page is described as creative head for many GMA shows, while Nones has credits

01:59as head writer or creator for GMA shows

02:02Sandro's father, Nino Mulac, made a cryptic post on Facebook, saying,

02:06You started it, I will finish it

02:08Sandro's stepmother, Diane Abitupas, also posts on social media, noting how they raised

02:13their children with love, only to fall victim to abominable behavior

02:17Twenty-three-year-old Sandro Mulac is Nino's son with ex-wife Edith Miliare

02:22No statements have been made by the alleged perpetrators as of writing

02:28U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump falsely suggests his Democratic rival,

02:33Kamala Harris, had downplayed her Black heritage

02:36So I don't know, is she Indian or is she Black?

02:38She was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went,

02:42she became a Black person

02:45Trump draws jeers from the audience, the country's largest annual gathering of Black journalists

02:50Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican heritage, has long self-identified as both Black and Asian

02:56She is the first Black person and Asian-American person to serve as vice president

03:00In response, Harris says,

03:02And it was the same old show

03:06The divisiveness and the disrespect

03:11And let me just say, the American people deserve better

03:16A National Reuters-Ipsos poll showed Harris leading Trump 43 to 42 percent

03:21within the poll's margin of error

03:25Lack of talent, lazy Olympic champions, top gymnast Simone Biles posts on Instagram

03:30alongside a photo of her triumphant American teammates

03:33Biles is referencing commentary made by 2020 U.S. Olympic gymnast Michaela Skinner

03:38Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be,

03:43Skinner, 27, said in a now-deleted video

03:46The girls just don't have the work ethic

03:48Biles' post prompted Skinner to block the iconic gymnast

03:52Skinner's words back in June drew a landslide of backlash from the gymnastics community

03:56She later apologized

03:58Skinner, who felt she was unfairly left off the 2016 Rio squad,

04:02was selected to represent the U.S. as an individual in Tokyo,

04:05where she earned a silver medal in the vault
