00:06in connection with illegal offshore gaming operations, or POGO.
00:09The following officials are cleared, including the mayor, vice mayor, and four councillors.
00:19Quad Committee Chair Ace Barbers said the committee finds no connection between the
00:22officials and POGOs, including the scam hub LuckySouth99.
00:27But Barbers tells Rappler this shouldn't prevent the police or the National Bureau
00:30of Investigation from conducting their own investigations.

00:44running for vice mayor.
