(1/9) Maraming salamat po! Siguro naman po - para sa mga trolls ng @rapplerdotcom at mga naniwala sa mga kasinungalingan tugkol sa amin, napatunayan na po namin na hindi tax evader ang Rappler. Medyo matagal nga lang po. 4 years and 2 months pero naging tama na rin.
(2/9) Kasi naman po, about 6 months before these ridiculous charges, the government gave Rappler a top corporate tax payer award. So medyo nabaliktad po ang mundo. But …
(3/9) Today, facts win. Truth wins. Justice wins. #CourageON #FactsFirstPH

Sa ano-anong paraan maaaring makapagmatyag – at nang sa gayon ay makapag-ambag sa pamamahala – ang miyembro ng iba’t ibang komunidad at sektor?

PAHAYAG NG RAPPLER

Pinagtibay ng Securities and Exchange Commission nitong Hunyo 28 ang desisyon na una nitong inilabas noong 2018: ipawalang bisa ang certificates of incorporation ng Rappler Inc. at Rappler Holdings Corporation. #CourageON #HoldTheLine
Ayon sa aming mga abogado, kinukumpirma ng kapasiyahang ito ang pagpapasara sa Rappler. #CourageON #HoldTheLine
Karapatan ng Rappler na iapela ang desisyon — at gagawin namin ito hanggang makarating sa Korte Suprema — lalo na’t naging taliwas sa tama at makatuwirang proseso ang ginawa ng SEC. #CourageON #HoldTheLine

The #HoldTheLine Steering Committee is dismayed at the decision of a Manila judge to reject an application to reconsider the conviction of @mariaressa & Rey Santos Jnr on trumped-up criminal cyber libel charges attracting jail sentences of up to six years. rappler.com/nation/manila-…
The #HoldTheLine Steering Committee notes with alarm that Judge Rainelda Estacio-Montesa adopted an increase in the prescription period for cyber-libel - from 12 to 15 years - when she issued her ruling late Friday, just ahead of Duterte’s State of the Nation address on Monday.
On behalf of the #HoldTheLine Coalition, we - @julieposetti, @courtneyr & I - now call on the Philippines‘ Court of Appeals to act justly and quash the convictions against @mariaressa & Rey Santos Junior as the appeal process progresses to the next stage. Image

I find it funny that trolls are attacking @mariaressa and Rappler, saying we're supposedly 'twisting' truth when there are ALL THESE GROUPS speaking up. Why so? Truth is the verdict goes beyond Rappler. It should concern us all.

Here's a THREAD ~~~
From law experts on the issue of prescription: The verdict sets a dangerous precedent not just for media but to everyone online. Law experts agreed that cyber libel MUST PRESCRIBE IN ONLY 1 YEAR.

Here ya go: rappler.com/nation/263987-…
Even the business community is backing up Maria! In a very bold move, 6 huge business groups expressed how the verdict "dangerously diminishes civil rights." That's not Rappler speaking again. These are your businessmen.

(1/6) Information operations now moving against me, cementing "journalist=criminal." Keng's lawyers and the Palace have similar messaging: it's the media attacking a "private individual. This isn't true. Please help me spread my response below. @rapplerdotcom #CourageON
(2/6) 1. The intelligence report was vetted by a senior investigative journalist, Aries Rufo (whose book is often quoted by President Duterte); 2. Not all intel reports are equal. One PDEA document sent by Keng's lawyers was signed by an officer embroiled in a graft suit ...
(3/6) ... that, incidentally, involved the use of luxury vehicles in anti-drug operations from January to June 2013. He was later convicted (although given the judgement against me, I now take that with a grain of salt): news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/04/18/…

WHY WE NEED CELEBS SPEAKING UP.

Here's a map of the Twitter accounts that spoke up for ABS-CBN on the day it was shut down. See how fan groups dominated the conversation, dwarfing political networks, including the DDS.

Use your voice, it matters.
While they typically keep to themselves, there are rare instances when fandoms step into spaces outside entertainment and pop culture. This usually happens when their idols speak up, or when they're under attack.

(1/4) Good morning from Manila!! Infinite thanks to so many people. Here and around the world. I've been inundated the past few days. I'm stunned that Judge Montesa ignored the legal acrobatics that made this case possible. Our search for justice continues. #HoldTheLine
(2/4) The barely veiled contempt in the decision for me and Rappler truly makes me wonder, tearing apart nearly 35 years of my professional life. I like how even my title, which we chose in 2012 when we created @rapplerdotcom is "a clever ruse" rappler.com/nation/263876-…
(3/4) Scratching my head how the legal acrobatics that made this case even possible happened: statute of limitations changed from 1 yr to 12 yrs; codifying "republication" The PH gov't and Keng lawyers say he is just "a private individual" rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/2…

The decision to convict CEO Maria Ressa and former Rappler researcher Reynaldo Santos, Jr. for cyber libel (while certainly appealable) is but another demonstration of the Duterte government's weaponization of law against those who dare speak truth to power. [1] Image
Jailing me for over three years now is only one of the thousand sinister ways they are causing fear in the hearts of Filipinos who fight for what is just and right. [2]
They will not stop at going after critics and human rights defenders. To them, journalists too must be silenced. But we will not allow it. [3]

Rappler's @lianbuan tweets portions of the 37-page decision of Judge Rainelda Estacio-Montesa in convicting Maria Ressa and Reynaldo Santos Jr of cyber libel charges, sentencing them to 6 mos 1 day up to 6 years. They are entitled to post-conviction bail under same bond.
@lianbuan Judge Montesa affirmed that the update in 2014 constituted republication, which made the article fall under the Sept 2012 Cybercrime Law. Article was written May 2012, or before law, but a typo error (evasion spelled as evation) was corrected Feb 2014. | via @lianbuan
The Court did not accept Rappler's assertion that what was corrected was just a typo error, and faulted them for not presenting Rey Santos on the stand to testify that no substantial change was made on his article in 2014. | via @lianbuan
