@@resw5394 I'm from the USA that is considerably inaccurate. It isn't simply majority rule. We have States with their own laws as well as Federal Statutes. Federal Statutes can't be simply overturned by majority rule nor are they supposed to be ignored as such policies are supposed to truly dictate the basic laws of all within the borders to which all are sworn to uphold and defend. That said, if Federal Statutes were to be truly challenged the amount of challenge to them aren't simply done in one election cycle. It would potentially take at least 2 or 3 full election cycles by all of the territories to block and or put in place the people to overturn such laws. This continuously creates a minority of popularity so that overtime nothing is done in a rash way and gives society time to reflect on what is going on at the elected level especially in regards to blocking or approving legislation. That doesn't mean our elected leader's or those hired to protect our freedom's have always done so. The difference is we never gave them the power to truly take away what they've sworn to defend. Unfortunately we don't always hold them accountable either especially in regards to actually preserving our rights freedoms including consequences for the attempts at removing such. One of my favorite quotes. "What is popular isn't always right what is right isn't always popular". Our founders ensured some minority rights. It took a few hundred years to convince society including through war we should all be considered equal worthy of the same rights no matter gender color of skin and or religion.
Only those who believe that democracy is vital will truly applaud her and I am one of them. Bravo Maria Ressa!!!

She’s the best person to talk about this tbh. With her experiences living in both the US and the Philippines-despite the massive difference in distance from each other-we’re not really all that different.

Speaking of truth, the woman is convicted for libel for making up stories against a private citizen because she is in the pocket of a politician who wants a chief justice out. She herself abused press freedom and the freedom of speech. She also has a reputation at a think tank for making up numbers. Her freedom to travel issue is because she was already convicted of publishing untruth.

Yeah, Philippines has become the paragon of every country's "do not do" lesson. Add the fact that right now the country's embroiled in a human trafficking scandal where folks are shipped to Myanmar and everywhere else for "many reasons". One senator, Risa Hontiveros, perhaps the most visible and remaining "face" of the opposition in the PH government, has been at the forefront of the battle against human trafficking. If I remember correctly, she was also in the cross hairs of Duterte and his troll/propaganda army because of the human trafficking links with Chinese POGOS (some illegal gambling stuff).

Please ask the majority of Filipino’s what’s actually happening in the country though, don’t just listen to the version of this well spoken but vicious woman, who only knows how to critically speak against opposition to the government party she’s sympathetic with. Majority of the country voted against the her party and now she’s talking about freedom of speech because she never stops talking malice and lies about the current government, and people stopped listening to her, and she’s crying out freedom. She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, she has no audience in the Philippines and now she’s spreading lies abroad. Don’t fall for her.

Her Rappler is the least trusted media in the Phils. What she is doing is lobbying in the USA to get sympathy. She cannot fool majority of Filipinos. Her Rappler was caught some fake news then later removed. lol CNN Philippines most trusted media outlet Posted by PUBLiCUS In Pahayag, Press Release 0 comment Aug 3, 2021, PUBLiCUS Asia Inc has just released its second quarter poll, conducted from 13-19 July 2021. It is a nationwide purposive sampling survey comprised of 1,500 respondents drawn from a research panel of approximately 100,000 Filipino registered voters maintained by a Singapore-based firm. With the fierce battle for viewership, most traditional news outlets have diversified their businesses to include online channel - from just mirroring their main channel, to now a stand-alone business. The first to adapt always gets an advantage, but credibility is built with consistency, fair and balance news. And with a 60% high trust, CNN Philippines captures the high trust rating top spot. GMA7 and Philippine Daily Inquirer round-up the top 3 spots as the most trusted media outlet. While Rappler and ABS CBN (online) garnered the highest total low trust ratings.
Stephen Colbert was just bowled over by Maria Ressa's sheer brilliance.

It is not about how inteeligent she is. It's about her telling lies using her intellect as a tool in diverting the main issues why she was being sued and later found guilty not by the Philippine Government but by an ordinary citizen which she partially damaged the guy's life using a wrecking ball of lies, made accusations through a news media that she actually own. How can she even say she is being deprived of Freedom of Speech when she is travelling all over the world promoting and telling bad stories and unbelievably bad reputation about our country for the past 2 decades. She is supposed to be in jail by this time because she was found guilty but clearly, she is free to roam around the world making the USA and Europe as her personal backyard.

While she is on this book tour she's safe, but as soon as she goes home this beautifully insightful and courageous woman will most likely be arrested, found guilty of trumped up charges in a kangaroo court, and imprisoned for life. She could easily stay and seek sanctuary anywhere she wants in the west, but she will never stop fighting, and is willing to be a martyr for democracy if that's what it takes. Check out her interview with CBC News if you want to know more, sorry I'm old and don't know how to post links.

Sadly, we have a very immature population in the Philippines. Anti-intellectualism and slave-mentality is rampant. Others will even defend corrupt politicians to maintain their precious "status quo" - an "us" against "them" narrative where intellectuals and critics are blamed for the country's plight and considered as public enemy #1. Charlatans can play with this vulnerability effectively because of social media. See Rodelia's comment for example, that's a brainwashed pawn right there (I wonder if she's one of those paid trolls or if she's just playing dumb for free.)
