00:12 The Philippines' Movie and TV Review Board suspends two SM&I programs.

00:17 The Banco Central says no to an increase in Instapay and Pesonet fund transfer fees.

00:22 Taiwan offers to help an earthquake-stricken area in China where 100 people died.

00:27 Pope Francis allows blessings for same-sex couples.

00:31 And Filipino dish sinigang is recognized as one of the best dishes in the world for 2023.

00:38 The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board suspends for 14 days two Sunshine Media

00:43 Network International programs.

00:46 Production for Gigan Sa Masa para Sa Masa was temporarily halted after former President

00:51 Rodrigo Duterte threatened to kill ACT Teacher's Representative Franz Castro on two episodes

00:56 aired in October and November.

00:57 Meanwhile, the suspension of Laban Kasama ng Bayan comes after Jeffrey Celis and Lorraine

01:02 Badoy reported without verifying that the travel spending of Speaker Martin Rualdes

01:06 had ballooned to P1.8 billion.

01:09 The Television and Movie Watchdog notes certain aspects of the programs may have violated

01:14 the law.

01:15 SM&I is expected to address and rectify the identified issues during the 14-day preventive

01:19 suspension.

01:20 The Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas, or BSP, maintains its cap on Instapay and Pesonet fund transfer

01:28 fees.

01:29 Transfers via Pesonet have no maximum limit and are posted by the end of the day.

01:33 Instapay allows real-time fund transfers of up to P50,000 per transaction.

01:38 Fees can range from P8 to P50.

01:41 The central bank kept in place a ceiling for fund transfer fees from Dec. 28, 2021.

01:47 Although they may not increase their fees, financial institutions are allowed to reduce

01:51 or waive their fees.

01:53 Several banks and e-money issuers temporarily waive their fund transfer fees until Dec.

01:57 31, 2023.

01:59 By eliminating fees or keeping them low, the BSP hopes to encourage Filipinos to embrace

02:04 digital payment channels.

02:07 Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen expresses condolences to China and offers her government's help

02:12 after an earthquake killed more than 100 people on the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan

02:17 Plateau.

02:18 In a statement, Tsai says their nation hopes for a swift recovery for those affected and

02:22 Taiwan is ready to offer assistance.

02:25 Tensions between Taipei and Beijing have soared in the past four years as China seeks to assert

02:30 its sovereignty claims with political and military pressure.

02:33 On Monday, Dec. 18, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake jolted a remote and mountainous region on

02:38 the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, killing at least 118 people and injuring hundreds.

02:46 The Vatican approves a landmark ruling that Roman Catholic priests can administer blessings

02:51 to same-sex couples as long as they are not part of regular church rituals or liturgies.

02:56 A document from the Vatican's doctrinal office approved by Pope Francis says such blessings

03:01 would not legitimize irregular situations, but be a sign that God welcomes all.

03:06 The document says the blessing should not be linked with or timed to a civil marriage

03:10 ceremony.

03:11 It adds priests should decide on a case-by-case basis and should not prevent the Church's

03:15 closeness to people who seek God's help.

03:18 The Church teaches that same-sex attraction is not sinful, but homosexual acts are.

03:23 Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has tried to make the 1.3-billion-member Church

03:28 more welcoming to LGBT people without changing moral doctrine on same-sex activity.

03:35 Another win for the Sinigang!

03:37 The Philippines' famous sour soup is recognized as one of the best dishes in the world for

03:41 2023 by international food database Taste Atlas.

03:46 It ranks in 97th place with 4.48 out of 5 stars.

03:50 The popular meat- or seafood-based soup is known for its distinctively sour flavor from

03:55 the typically used sambalok or tamarind fruit.

03:58 It bested Poland's Zurek, France's steak au poivre, and Vietnam's pho ba.

04:03 Taste Atlas writes, "With its sour lightness perfectly matching the harsh tropical heat

04:07 of the country, Sinigang is a unique soup that is a true representative of Filipino

04:11 cuisine."

04:12 Users and reviewers on Taste Atlas say the best Sinigang can be found at Manam, Locavore,

04:17 and The Aristocrat.

04:20 And that's today's wrap.

04:21 I'm Nina Liu.
