The POGO saga is confusing, we get it. So we compiled everything you need to know, narrating from 2016 when Rodrigo Duterte became president and his Pagcor invented POGOs, to the downfall of Alice Guo whom sources say may be a minor player. https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/in-depth/things-to-know-people-behind-pogos-alice-guo/#state=0d3a96aa-8690-4a87-8da2-23a122012b69&session_state=0edd4ef0-69f5-4265-9d93-8f44af91822d&iss=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.rappler.com%2Frealms%2Frappler&code=d06146d3-d402-4303-ae75-187c681d3cb6.0edd4ef0-69f5-4265-9d93-8f44af91822d.7e8dfd45-11ab-4d4c-9b62-564719b215c7

Island Cove closed down today. Star-studded, heavily covered. They're out to prove that Island Cove is not untouchable. We traced the ownership of the companies. Remullas owned it before the children of junket operator Kim Wong. The company official on the ground tried to conceal this fact, later revealed by documents.

Aside from familiar big names like Duterte, the House of Reps also recommended charges vs Aedy Yang and Willie Ong of Empire 999 linked to the smuggled shabu in Mexico, Pampanga. Who are they? They are involved in Fil-Chi charity works, like Michael Yang, and are linked to him too via layers of companies.

If you're following BARMM news, possible elections postponement is not the only urgent issue there. There's been an alarming increase in killings of non Moro IPs. Read our story here:

I mourn for BARMM; it became close to me with my former job. Peace has always been a precarious thing in the region (which led to the BTA and the BOL in the first place), but without resolving the violence caused by land ownership (tale as old as time), it will remain so. Some may opine that the Moros are, to paraphrase, exacting revenge against the Lumad, but that's unfair on both sides. Can the rido violence be used as an argument to postpone BARMM elections? It shouldn't be. Denying suffrage for every violent event forms even more resentment.
