Headline: Philippine Court Orders Regulator to Restore Licence of News Site Rappler
Publication Date: March 12, 2023
Breaking News: The Supreme Court of the Philippines has ruled to order the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to restore the licence of Rappler, a popular online news site known for its investigative journalism and critical coverage of Philippine politics.
According to Al Jazeera, in its decision, the Supreme Court cited lack of jurisdiction on the part of the NTC to revoke Rappler’s operating licence in 2017 due to alleged foreign ownership concerns. Rappler’s CEO, Maria Ressa, has been a vocal critic of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s government.
Background: The dispute stems from Rappler’s accreditation, which was revoked by the NTC in 2017, citing the Philippines’ Foreign Equity Restrictions (FR) law, which prohibits foreign nationals and entities from owning more than 40% of a media company. Rappler, which was founded by Jessica Benigno Soho and Maria Ressa, allegedly held interests in the company through foreign partners and funding.
Impact: The restoration of Rappler’s licence is seen as a crucial victory for press freedom in the Philippines. News organizations and human rights groups around the world have expressed concern over the perceived political persecution of Rappler, seen as a symbol of independent media.
Quote: "This ruling reaffirms the importance of press freedom in Philippine society," said Maria Ressa, CEO of Rappler. "As a journalist, I am heartened by this decision, which highlights the absurdity of the NTC’s argument that a news organisation founded by Filipinos, reporting the news to Filipinos, must compromise its independence to conform to restrictive laws."

EVM must have have been breaking vases, throwing a tantrum and beating grass with the recent decision of SEC to restore the business of RAPPLER. The INC had exhausted all it's power influence and power to shut down RAPPER as well as ABSCBN for exposing the truth of it's corruption and illegalities. However ALL their efforts went down the drain. Just like the lord Jesus Christ said, the ones that you hid in secret will be revealed conspicuously.
